Toyota Sequoia To grasp America's big-SUV culture, Toyota engineer Motoharu Araya spent 2-1/2 years immersed in it, including spending time living with a family that owned a large SUV. The result is the second-generation Sequoia which is, more or less, the SUV version of the Toyota Tundra pickup. It's even bigger than the previous generation. "Space sufficient to comfortably accommodate people well above normal height is available in each of Sequoia's eight seats," Toyota says. In case those large people get thirsty, there are eight extra-large cupholders and eight bottle holders.
