You are in the Toyota Sequoia Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester

What is this discussion about? Toyota Sequoia, SUV

First Drive: 2008 Toyota Sequoia 4WD - Arguably the most useful, most refined and easiest-to-drive full-size SUV ever built, the 2008 Toyota Sequoia will keep a large family from being forced to adapt to a fleet of Priuses. (more)

Full Test: 2008 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4x4 - You would expect a sport-utility that measures 17 feet long, stands 6 feet tall, carries eight passengers and is hooked up to a 5.7-liter V8, four-wheel drive and 20-inch wheels to be called Sequoia. Talk about full-size! Talk about lumbering! (more)

This is not the place to engage in the political debate about environment and lifestyle. There are other Forums dedicated to those issues. Let's stick to discussing the Sequoia and the test. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: hdfatboy (May 27, 2008 2:15 pm) tidester (May 27, 2008 6:55 pm) hdfatboy (May 28, 2008 8:49 am)

You first, push the traction control button off, then right after that, hold it again for about 5 seconds. The VSC off light should appear right next to the traction control light. This procedure must be done when when the car is stopped." I tried pressing the VSC button on my 2008 Sequoia while underway and it displayed on my dash that it was turned off. It would appear you do not need to be stopped in the 08 Sequoia to turn the VSC off.

Replying to: tidester (May 27, 2008 9:53 am) "This is not the place to engage in the political debate about environment and lifestyle." While I understand and agree that the Sequoia forum is not the place for an environmental debate, I would have thought "lifestyle" would have been a very important discussion point. The degree to which the 08 Sequoia meets the needs of its owner is likely to be directly related to the lifestyle of the owner. ie towing of all types of trailers, passenger hauling, cargo moving, comfort features...aren't these all lifestyle factors for deciding if the new 08 Sequoia is the best vehicle for your needs?

Replying to: hdfatboy (May 27, 2008 2:15 pm) I would have thought "lifestyle" would have been a very important discussion point. My statement was qualified appropriately. Lifestyle as it relates to politics is not the topic here. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: hdfatboy (May 28, 2008 8:49 am)
