Replying to: baseballmom97 (Mar 26, 2007 5:41 am) Well, if you are wondering why Toyota is making a bigger Sequoia, you need look no further than the 2007 Tundra. Toyota knew that to keep up with Ford, Chevy and Dodge they had to build a bigger pick up. And with that, they also knew they had to build a bigger SUV, with everybody else's SUVs being much bigger than the Sequoia. One of the main complaints of the Sequoia (and the LandCruiser, for that matter) has been the size and the horsepower. Think about it. Everybody else is offering v8's with at least 300 hp and the current Sequoia is only 273. And of course there are plenty of people with boats trailers, 5th wheels who would love a Sequoia but weren't quite happy with the pulling power (only 6500 lbs, currently). Now with the new one coming out with an optional 5.7L with the capacity to pull 10k lbs, here's their chance. And with the quality of Toyota to boot. Can't beat that.   The '08 will probably be in one size, somewhere between the Tahoe and Suburban. Arrival date should be September time-frame. Should be interesting to see if it is as ugly as the new Tundra!! LOL Replies to this message: suvsbob (Mar 27, 2007 7:27 pm) wvgasguy (May 22, 2007 11:45 am)

Replying to: luvmy4runner (Mar 26, 2007 10:31 am) I'm not sure Toyota has to keep up with Ford, Chevy and Dodge is good reasoning. I'd think quite the opposite, with Toyota poised to be No. 1 this year, it's Ford, Chevy and Dodge that have to keep up Toyota. If toyota has the herd mentality, just because everyone else does it and it has to do the same, it won't keep the No.1 for long. it's time for Toyota to define the market.   I'll be happy with a new Sequoia with current size, new styling(Ugly or not) and better engine and gas mileage. Who needs a SUV which can seat a whole squadron police SWAT team anyway.

I for one am looking forward to a SUV with more power. I pull a trailer that weighs 6,000lbs and i am looking for a new one with a popout. the new seq should do the trick. Not espically happy about bigger size but bigger towingf capacity is good. I have driven the new tundra with the 5.7 V8 and it is everybit as smooth as the 4.7 V8. I'm sure the new seq will drive like a truck but that is really what it is. It's just the tundra cab with a metal extension and two rows of seats tacked on.

The 2007 New York International Car Show opens April 4th. Let's hope that Toyota unveils the 2008 Sequoia during this event and we get to see the next generation Sequoia. Replies to this message: sirraf (Apr 13, 2007 1:54 pm)

Replying to: petro33 (Mar 30, 2007 10:18 am) well with the new 5.7L coming out in the tundra, i would expect the sequoia to have it. It's quite possible that it might be previewed at the April show in NY. I know the new Lexus LX 570 is coming out next week. But who knows?

Replying to: saveoursuvs (Feb 26, 2007 2:23 pm) The 07 Tahoe and Yukon drive quite nice most of the time but I was hoping Sequoia could perfect the SUV experience. I've sat in the Tahoe and Escalade and the middle seating is not comfortable. That's the only reason I'd consider a Sequoia over a mid-size SUV. For trips and adults only the Sequoia, Excursion, Expedition and Surburban fit the need.   I've had a Sequoia and Expedition and am waiting to see the 08. I would rather have a shorter, not larger vehicle like the Land Cruiser in the Sequoia trim level. I'll just have to wait and see.

Replying to: sirraf (Mar 30, 2007 1:59 pm) How disappointing... another car show has ended and we still have no idea about when there might be a next generation Sequoia.

I think you know the answer, but are unwilling to accept what the answer is. Look at the 2007 tundra, thats the 2008 Sequoia. It was the same for the 2000 tundra and the new 2001 sequoia.   I personally am looking forward to a bigger engine, because I want to tow a 9,000 lb travel trailer. I am not thrilled about the longer vehicle that is rumored but I guess you take what they put out or shop somwhere else. My guess is that the land cruser will be the same size as the present seq but with the bigger engine. If you want to pay the extra for all the goodies in this vehicle maby thats will work for you.

Replying to: petro33 (Apr 16, 2007 6:04 am) I agree that it will look similar to the Tundra but I want to know when can we expect to see the next generation Sequoia. Replies to this message: luvmy4runner (Apr 16, 2007 6:51 pm) luvmy4runner (Apr 16, 2007 6:49 pm)

Replying to: sirraf (Apr 16, 2007 6:11 pm) I've been to several dealerships in the Southern California area and have been told anywhere from September to December but why they did not preview it at the NY Auto Show is beyond me. I guess it gets here when it gets here and there isn't much else you can say or do.
