2010 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 5.7L

The 2010 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 5.7L represents the cream of the lineup. Offering all the options of the Limited trims as standard features, with a rear-view backup camera, adaptive cruise control, and leather-trimmed interior accessories thrown in for good measure, this four-door, seven-passenger, full-size SUV rocks the road with no need for any option packages.

Its 381-hp, 401-lb-ft/torque 5.7-liter VVT V8 and accompanying six-speed auto-manual transmission ensure that the rear-wheel-drive 2010 Sequoia Platinum can tow 10,000 pounds, to the tune of 14/19 mpg. A standard, three-mode load-leveling suspension keeps the Sequoia Platinum 5.7L comfortable and stable over all but the roughest of roads.
