American size, Toyota quality.
2003 Sequoia Review Summary & Specifications
Toyota Sequoia has seating for up to eight (or five and lots of room to bring the dogs). It delivers a smooth, comfortable ride. It comes with lots of safety equipment, including traction and skid control, available front side-impact and head-level airbags, three-point seatbelts for all seating positions, available on-demand four-wheel drive, and the secure feeling that comes with driving a vehicle that weighs more than 5,000 pounds. It can pull a 6200-pound trailer.Overall, the Sequoia is a marvelous truck. It's not the best daily family taxi in congested, urban areas, but it's unbeatable for family road trips.
