Toyota Sequoia provides a three-point seatbelt for all seating positions, with height adjusters for the front seats and the outboard rear seats. Front seatbelts include pretensioners and force limiters.

The reinforced upper cabin frame, reinforced rocker support for all pillars and door beams help to maintain passenger compartment integrity.

The advanced front Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) on Sequoia provides dual-stage deployment driver and passenger airbags. A sensor on the driver's seat track can determine the driver's seat distance from the steering wheel to signal an appropriate deployment stage. A sensor in the front passenger seat detects the presence and weight category of a passenger (child or adult), and also determines the appropriate airbag deployment strategy.

Side airbags and side curtain airbags for the front and second-row seats are standard features for 2007. A rollover sensor with a cutoff switch can detect the possibility of an imminent rollover accident and deploy the side curtain airbags.


Go-Anywhere, Anytime Capability

Fully boxed frame rails give Toyota Sequoia a stiff chassis that contributes to a smooth, quiet and controlled ride. Front suspension is a coil-spring double-wishbone system, with rear suspension a five-link coil spring configuration. Available hydraulic rear load-leveling suspension automatically compensates for loads carried in the vehicle. Seventeen-inch aluminum wheels and P265/65R17 tires are standard on the Sequoia Limited and available on the SR5 grade.

The available multi-mode 4WD system with low-range allows the driver to shift from 2H to 4H with a dash-mounted switch. The lockable center differential can help get the vehicle through obstructions such as sand, mud or deep snow, and 4x4 models provide 10.6-inches of ground clearance.


Room and Versatility

A versatile design makes the most of Sequoia's generous interior room. The 60/40 split second row (and available second-row captain's chairs) and 50/50 split third row seats fold, recline and tumble forward. In its rear-most position, the third row provides 29.8 inches of legroom. The third row seats also slide and are removable. Moving the third row to its most forward position yields 36.2 cu.-ft. of space behind it. The third row seat can be removed in halves to provide 73.6 cu.-ft. of space behind the second row, and then folding the second row yields 128.1 cu.-ft. of total cargo space.

The rear power window fully retracts into the gate. The window operates either by driver position switch, inserting the key into the hatch lock or with the remote keypad when equipped with keyless entry (standard on Limited, optional on SR5). The multi-function front center console integrates a large storage box with a double door and memo pad clip. Dual front and rear-cup holders can adapt to containers of nearly any size. Sequoia provides four 12-volt power outlets - two in the front, one for the second row, and one behind the third row.

Useful storage compartments, along with 10 cupholder locations, are found throughout the interior. All four doors include deep storage pockets. Behind the third row, the cargo area provides an open, deep pocket on each side, a small article compartment with lid, two grocery bag hooks and cargo net hooks.

Towing capacity is 6,200 lbs. for Toyota Sequoia 4WD models and 6,500 lbs. for 2WD models. An available seven-pin towing connector can accommodate electric trailer braking systems.
