• The Sequoia is a full-size sport utility vehicle manufactured by Toyota. It debuted in the 2001 model year. There are only slight differences between the specifications of the 2008 and 2010 models, but as with many automobiles, its features, efficiency, and appearance have been improved with each new model.
  
  

Editions

• In 2008, three editions of the Sequoia were available: SR5, Limited, and Platinum. In 2010, six editions were offered: SR5, SR5 FFV, Limited, Limited FFV, Platinum, and Platinum FFV. The FFV (Flex Fuel Vehicle) models are capable of running on E85 gasoline, as well as standard unleaded. E85 produces less energy and thus has lower fuel economy, but it releases fewer emissions.
  
  

Fuel Economy

• The engines on the standard editions, as well as the FFV, get slightly higher highway gas mileage. In 2008, the Sequoia maxed out at 17 miles per gallon on the highway, while the 2010 model manages 19 miles per gallon and 18 miles per gallon on the highway with the standard and Flex Fuel editions, respectively. Towing power and torque remain unchanged if you drive an FFV vehicle instead of a standard edition with the 2010 model.
  
  

Comforts

• The interior features offered in the 2010 model only minimally outshine those of the 2008, but there are a few. The driver's seat was improved to an eight-way power seat, and the passenger seat was improved to a four-way power seat. The standard CD player was upgraded to be capable of playing MP3 CDs. It also was set up for XM satellite radio, with three months of free service provided. A USB charging connection also was added. The vehicle also is wired for Bluetooth hands-free phone usage.
