If your natural habitat is your couch, then probably not. But if you prefer to steer clear of the ordinary, this might well be your next vehicle. Exceptionally spacious and ruggedly capable, 2011 Toyota Sequoia is all about helping the maximum number of people get maximum enjoyment out of the day. Fill it full of kids, friends and whatever gear you’ll need. Then go do something that will be worth talking about when you’re standing around the water cooler on Monday morning. After all, you seem like you’re more interested in looking for adventure than searching for the remote.

More than you’re likely to need. There’s seating for eight1 with the standard third row. Or you can fold the seats fl at for 120.1 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s enough room for all the gear you and your crew will need to go just about anywhere. You could just say it’s big but big is too small a word to do it justice. That’s because 2011 Sequoia interior isn’t just vast; it’s versatile. Both the sliding second-row and reclining third-row seats feature a split-fold design. That allows you to choose how to stow most of your stuff: upright, fl at, you name it. You could also keep the seats upright and put cargo and up to eight people in the Sequoia.

The 2011 Sequoia offers an available power rear liftgate that makes it easy to access all that rear cargo space. Just press a button on the remote key fob, and the liftgate gently releases upward. To close it, press a button on the liftgate frame, or one on the dash, or use the key fob to close it automatically. There’s more to the rear of Sequoia’s cabin than just a whopping 120.1 cubic feet of usable cargo space.1 There’s also rear under-floor storage, plus a cargo area 12V auxiliary power outlet and grocery bag hooks. Those sitting in the third-row seat will find cup holders, personal storage and, on the Limited and Platinum, window shades.

2011 Sequoia’s ignition system uses long-reach iridium-tipped spark plugs. Why iridium? It’s six times harder, eight times stronger and has a melting point 1200 degrees higher than platinum. Need room? Fold the second- and third-row seats flat for 120.1 cubic feet of cargo space. And with the available power reclining and folding third-row seat, settling in for the long
haul is as easy as pushing a button. The front-seat console on Sequoia Platinum houses climate controls and cup holders for those in the second row. There are also auxiliary inputs for the available rear-seat entertainment system, plus a 115V outlet.

The reclining third-row seat of Sequoia is wide enough to accommodate three adults in true comfort,
or it can split-fold 60/40 for a combination of people and cargo. And because the seats fold completely flat, you can actually do what it says on that box and keep “this end up.” The second-row seat features one-touch access. Say you’ve opened the rear passenger-side door on Sequoia. Just pull the lever on the outside of the second-row seat cushion. One lever that’s all it takes to simultaneously fold the seat down and slide it forward. That means easy access to the third-row seat without the usual gymnastics.

To help make the most of its spacious interior, Sequoia features an available sliding and reclining
second-row seat. You can use the versatility of its 40/20/40 split-fold design. Or you can slide it back
to add leg room. That plus the extraordinary head room and shoulder room in the second row help
make Sequoia one comfortable ride.

2011 Toyota Sequoia Features like an available Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system do give
Sequoia perfect road manners. But with an available Multi-Mode 4WD system with Torsen limited-slip center differential, Sequoia is ready whenever the road turns to trail. In fact, that’s when the real fun begins.

Sequoia’s second-row seat feels like the front row of a theater. That’s because you can watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster or play video games on the available rear-seat DVD entertainment system’s 9-inch screen. With so much to do, the kids will be hoping they’re not there yet. But relax  all the movies and games they bring along will fit in Sequoia’s many storage compartments.

Sequoia’s available touch-screen DVD navigation system includes a backup camera. Put Sequoia in Reverse, and it automatically shows what the camera sees immediately behind you. Which means if
you’re thinking of towing a boat, you’ll be able to line up the tow hitch like a pro. What’s more, this nav system has an auxiliary audio input compatible with most USB audio devices. And built-in Bluetooth technology for hands-free phone capability with music streaming.

Advanced safety technologies are something you’ll fi nd throughout Sequoia. Clearly Toyota doesn’t
believe in simply relying on the vehicle’s size to help ensure your safety. Instead, our engineers have
equipped Sequoia with an array of both active and passive safety measures. Active safety features,
such as Vehicle Stability Control (VSC),1 help you avoid trouble. Passive safety features come to your aid in the event trouble proves unavoidable. Both help you breathe easier.

Standard on every Sequoia is the Star Safety System, a suite of safety features that help drivers to avoid accidents in the first place. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)1 can compensate for loss of traction while cornering and help prevent sideways slipping. Traction Control (TRAC) employs throttle control to help reduce wheelspin and transfer torque to the wheel with the most traction. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) senses a potential wheel lockup and pulses the brakes rapidly, so wheels rotate rather than skid, giving the driver more control.

Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) optimizes the braking effort distributed between front and rear axles, while Brake Assist (BA) applies additional brake pressure if it detects a panic stop. Smart Stop Technology (SST) reduces engine power and helps bring the vehicle to a stop when both brake and accelerator pedals are pressed at the same timeunder certain conditions.

2011 Toyota Sequoia is available with an all-aluminum 381-hp 5.7L V8 that churns out 401 lb.-ft. of torque. There’s also an available DOHC 32-valve 4.6L V8 that produces 310 hp. All Sequoia models have been designed to provide all the power you need. But what you might be surprised to learn is that both engines have received an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle II (ULEV-II) rating. So power and responsibility can go hand in hand. There’s more to towing and hauling than just a powerful engine.
Maintaining ride height is especially important when the vehicle is carrying a lot of passengers or cargo weight. That’s why Sequoia Platinum features Electronically Modulated Air Suspension. It allows
the driver to adjust ride height to compensate for changes in load. So Sequoia’s ride is always the same: smooth.
