2010 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 5.7 FFV 4WD 4Dr SUV Recalls

Fuel: 13 mpg city / 18 mpg hwy
MSRP: $59,405

For 2010, the Toyota Sequoia returns after having skipped a model year with 2009 models not having been available for retail sale. This year's models are available in three equipment levels--SR5, Limited, and Platinum (the SR5 and Platinum trims are "mono spec" and only available with a preset list of standard features to simplify the buying process). The Limited offers a navigation system, rear entertainment system, and seven-passenger seating as the only options. The SR5 features an all-new 4.6L iForce V8 engine, which receives a 34hp increase over the previous generation 4.7L, but achieves an increase in fuel economy by 2 mpg (highway with 2WD models). To enhance front passenger safety, driver and passenger front knee bags have been added as standard.
