2009 Toyota Sequoia Limited Trim Overview

As the midlevel trim of the Sequoia line, the full-size, eight-passenger, rear-wheel-drive 2009 Toyota Sequoia Limited SUV offers several additions to the list of standard appearance, comfort, and convenience features offered by its base SR5 siblings. Such features include foglights, running boards, heated exterior mirrors, power-adjustable front seats, a Towing Prep Package, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, trip computer, and heated leather seats. Options for the ’09 Sequoia Limited are essentially identical to those offered with the SR5 5.7L trim, including rear-seat DVD entertainment, a DVD navigation system, and a power moonroof. Standard safety features for the ’09 Sequoia Limited reflect the entire Sequoia lineup and include four-wheel ABS, traction and stability control, dual front side-mounted airbags, front, rear, and third-row head airbags, a remote anti-theft alarm system, and active front and rear head restraints.

The standard powerplant for the ’09 Sequoia Limited is the 5.7-liter DOHC V8 that's delivered with a six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This combo, putting out 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque, though potent enough to tow 9,500 pounds when properly equipped, does burn a prodigious amount of gas, getting a mere 14/19 mpg, according to the EPA.
