| What do people think about Toyota Sequoia ? |
| The best SUV I have ever owned. Have had two previous Ford Explorers and they nickled and dimed me to death. Poorly built. I purchased a 4x2 Limited. Was able to get it at 5% over dealer cost. Shop and get Internet prices through dealer. The problem is, no one has the color you want, and it is a 3 to 5 month wait to order. If they want your business... |

 Toyota Sequoia |
"I worry about the Sequoia being too big and not having enough fuel economy, more than I do with the (redesigned) Tundra...[A driver of a full-sized pickup]...won't worry about getting two miles per gallon less, if it's the only thing that can haul his work gear. But there are a lot of choices besides an SUV for hauling your kids to soccer practice."
Esmond's of course...
...talking about the Sequoia's platform, the same humongous one used by the new Tundra pickup, a full-size pickup that's so full-size (how full-size is it?), it doesn't even fit in dealership service bays. You'll remember we reported last month that was a major reason for the one year delay between the unveiling of the truck and its actual release... this next year.
But, now that Toyota's tasted the higher per vehicle profits of the large- and premium-SUV market -- they've been quite unhappy with the drop from a 9.8% share of the market in 2002 to the 6.4% share so far this year. Because no matter how many Prius (Priii?) they sell -- the sales of one Sequoia we hear garners more profit.
