2. The 2013 Toyota Sequoia sets its sights squarely at
what used to be one of the hearts of the market for GM
and Ford; as a traditional full-size SUV, it's based on the
same underpinnings as the Toyota Tundra full-size
pickup, extending the Tundra's macho look and towing
prowess into a vehicle that can also carry a big family in
comfort.
Take even a brief look at the Sequoia, and you'll know
what it is: a full-size SUV, and a brawny truck. The
testosterone-tinged look of the Sequoia may appear
somewhat cartoonishly musclebound for some, though
it beats the almost anonymous styling of most minivans,
and has a high, serious-truck look from the front that no
crossover can rival. Cabin appointments, predictably,
feel like those of a high-end full-size pickup from the
front seats, grafted with two more rows of roomy wagon,
and the instrument panel is functional without looking
too plain.

5. Previously you could choose from two different V-8
engines for the Sequoia, but for 2013 Toyota has
discontinued the smaller-displacement (4.6-liter)
choice. And it's really for the better, as most Sequoia
shoppers are towing-minded (tow ratings range up to
7,400 pounds), and with 381 horsepower and 401
pound-feet of torque, the V-8 is a powerhouse. The
Sequoia shares its underpinnings with the Tundra
pickup truck, but it rides and handles somewhat better.
A four-wheel independent suspension helps keep the
Sequoia stable through corners for the most part,
although rough patches--whether pavement patches or
gravel-road washboards--can upset its composure.

8. Standard on the Platinum grade and available on SR5
and Limited is a new Entune multimedia system that
provides access to apps for Bing seatch, Pandora, and
others, providing access to entertainment or information
through your smartphone's data connection.
Missing, rather oddly, from the Sequoia's factory options
list is serious off-road hardware, or a dedicated off-road
model (even though 4WD is widely available through the
model line). It all makes sense when you see the much
pricier Toyota Land Cruiser across the lot.
