With the Limited trim level situated in the middle of the Sequoia lineup, the rear-wheel-drive 2010 Toyota Sequoia Limited 5.7L full-size SUV adds a hefty number of standard creature comforts and appearance doo-dads to the base SR5 level. Such offerings include a power liftgate door, 20-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, multi-level heated front seats, power-retractable outside mirrors, a universal remote garage door opener, steering-wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls, park-assist sensors, and a 440-watt JBL premium audio system featuring a 6-CD changer and 14 speakers. The Limited is the only Sequoia trim level to offer any significant options, including rear-seat DVD entertainment, a voice-activated DVD navigation system, and second-row captain’s chairs. Safety-wise, the Sequoia lineup features, among other things, four-wheel ABS, traction and stability control, ten airbags, a remote anti-theft alarm, front fog/driving lights, and daytime running lights.

Equipped with a standard 5.7-liter variable-valve-timed (VVT) V8 and six-speed auto-manual transmission, the 2010 Sequoia Limited 5.7L is capable of 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque. This equates to some 10,000 pounds of towing power, with EPA-estimated 14/19 mpg efficiency.
