Sequoia is completely new, with a new body, a new interior, a new chassis, an available new 5.7-liter V8 engine/six-speed transmission combination and an increased focus on efficiency, performance and driver/passenger comfort.

An available new DOHC 5.7-liter V8 engine enables the Sequoia to provide acceleration performance that is among the leaders in its class, especially while towing. Sequoia engineers developed the new engine to produce 381 horsepower, one of the highest outputs in this vehicle class. This engine produces 401 lb.ft. of torque.

A smooth-shifting electronically controlled five-speed automatic ECT (Electronically Controlled Transmission) is mated to the standard 4.7-liter V8, while a new six-speed ECT automatic is part of the powertrain package when the available 5.7-liter V8 is selected.

On four-wheel-drive models, a two-speed transfer case that contains a lockable Torsen limited-slip differential is used to transmit power to both the front and rear wheels.

To improve ride comfort and overall vehicle dynamics, the Sequoia was given an all-new platform that features independent suspension at both front and rear. This new suspension not only provides unparalleled ride, handling and straight-line stability, but it also equips Sequoia with an available towing capacity of 10,000 lbs which puts Sequoia among the leaders in its class.
