Model overview

The Toyota Sequoia is a full-size, three-row SUV produced by Toyota and descended from its Tundra pickup truck. Launched in 2000 and built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, the Sequoia is the original vehicle from a Japanese maker in the popular mainstream full-sized SUV category in North America.

The Sequoia slots in within the mid-size Toyota 4Runner and the Toyota Land Cruiser in the North American Toyota SUV lineup, and is the biggest SUV presently being offered under the Toyota brand.
