Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), USA Inc. has released manufacturer’s suggested retail prices for its all-new 2001-model-year Sequoia full-size sport/utility vehicle, ranging from $30,815 for the 4x2 SR5 grade to $42,275 for the top-of-the-line 4x4 Limited. The Sequoia will go on sale Nov. 1. With seating for eight, Sequoia is Toyota’s first mainstream, full-size SUV. It was developed to fill a key product-and-price position between the mid-size 4Runner and full-size Land Cruiser. Sequoia is built alongside the Tundra pickup at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Indiana. It is powered by a modified version of Tundra’s 4.7-liter, i-Force V8 engine. The 240-horsepower engine is the first Toyota SUV engine to be EPA-certified as an ultra-low-emission vehicle. It delivers EPA-estimated city/highway mileage of 14/18 mpg for two-wheel-drive models and 14/17 mpg for four-wheel-drive models. Standard on all Sequoia models is a four-speed automatic overdrive transmission. All Sequoias will be equipped with vehicle skid control. All 4x2 models will also feature traction control, while all 4x4 Sequoias equipped with a multi-mode four-wheel-drive system will have traction control.
