2nd generation
The second-generation Toyota Sequoia (XK60) reigned from 2008 through 2022, giving American buyers a full-size, body-on-frame SUV built for towing, hauling, and third-row family duty. Sharing its platform with the Tundra pickup, it offered a choice of a 4.6-liter or later a stronger 5.7-liter V8, paired with rear- or four-wheel drive, delivering strong towing capacity and genuine truck-based durability. Inside, it provided three rows of seating, a spacious cabin, and available luxury touches in higher Limited and Platinum trims, including leather upholstery, navigation, and driver-assistance tech added through later updates. Despite competitors moving to unibody designs, Toyota kept the Sequoia traditional and rugged, earning a reputation for longevity and resale value. Its remarkably long fourteen-year production run without a full redesign became a hallmark, appealing to buyers who prioritized reliability and simplicity over frequent styling changes, before the third generation finally arrived for 2023.
