Toyota Sequoia Coloring Sheet History & Fun Facts

Built On A Pickup Truck Frame

Toyota launched the Sequoia for the 2001 model year as a body-on-frame SUV based on the Tundra full-size pickup, giving it real towing muscle and a much taller, boxier shape than car-based crossovers like the Highlander.

Named After A Giant Tree

Toyota named the Sequoia after the giant sequoia tree, among the largest living things on Earth, a fitting name for the brand's biggest SUV. The tree itself was named for Sequoyah, the Cherokee leader who created a written syllabary for the Cherokee language in the early 1800s.

Three Generations Over Two Decades

The Sequoia has had three generations: the original 2001-2007 model, a long-running second generation from 2008 through 2022, and a completely redesigned third generation that arrived for 2023 with a new hybrid powertrain.

A Twin-Turbo Hybrid V6 Replaces The V8

The current Sequoia dropped its old V8 engine in favor of the i-FORCE MAX, a twin-turbocharged V6 paired with a hybrid electric motor, delivering more torque than the outgoing V8 while improving fuel economy for such a large SUV.

Built In San Antonio, Texas

Toyota assembles the Sequoia at its truck plant in San Antonio, Texas, the same facility that builds the Tundra pickup it shares a platform with, keeping both big Toyota models rolling off the same production lines.

Room For Up To Eight And Serious Towing

Depending on trim and configuration, the Sequoia can seat up to eight passengers and tow close to 9,000 pounds, numbers that put it firmly in the same full-size class as the Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL rather than mid-size crossovers.

A TRD Pro Off-Road Version

Toyota offers a TRD Pro trim of the Sequoia with upgraded off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, and skid plates, letting the big SUV handle rough trails despite its size, a rare combination of full-size hauling capacity and genuine off-road hardware.

A Standard Third Row For Years

Unlike some full-size SUVs that once offered the third row as an option, the Sequoia has included three rows of seating as standard equipment since its debut, keeping the model firmly positioned as a genuine eight-passenger family and towing vehicle.

A Bold Front Grille Redesign

The third-generation Sequoia wears a much wider, taller grille than earlier versions, echoing the tough, high-set front end of the current Tundra pickup and making the SUV look noticeably larger and more commanding on the road than the crossovers it competes against for family buyers.

A Full-Size Rival To The Suburban

Toyota built the Sequoia specifically to compete with American full-size SUVs like the Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, matching their towing capacity and interior room while adding the reliability reputation that has long followed Toyota trucks.

A Removable Rear Glass Panel

Many Sequoia model years have included a power rear window that drops down independently of the tailgate, a handy feature for loading long items or letting fresh air into the third row without opening the entire back hatch.

A Long Wait Between Redesigns

The second-generation Sequoia stayed largely unchanged from 2008 through 2022, one of the longest single-generation runs of any modern Toyota, which made the sharp, boxier third-generation redesign for 2023 feel especially dramatic to longtime SUV shoppers.
