Most vehicles that have three trim levels usually start out with a bare-bones model. The 2009 Toyota Sequoia bucks that trend with features that appear on every car coming off the production line. The only major drawback, TheCarConnection.com observes, is that instead of allowing for complete customization, the Toyota 2009 Sequoia is offered in three trim levels, within which options are limited.

All three versions sport standard three-zone climate control, luxurious leather seats, and six-disc CD changer. Cars.com adds that standard features on the base Sequoia include “tri-zone automatic air conditioning, power windows and locks, keyless entry, a CD stereo, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel and cruise control." Options on this version include “a navigation system with…a backup camera, a DVD entertainment system…climate-controlled front seats, heated second-row seats, a power lift gate and a sunroof.”

In the Limited and Platinum trim levels of the 2009 Toyota Sequoia, buyers will find that the Limited includes additional leather and a 14-speaker JBL sound system capable of filling the entire cabin with high-quality audio. At the very top of the range lies the Toyota 2009 Sequoia Platinum, which ForbesAutos says “adds all-out luxury amenities, such as 20-inch alloy wheels” and “a navigation system with back-up camera.”

Rounding out the list of options and features in the 2009 Sequoia is a controllable air suspension and a moonroof with full tilt and slide functionality.

Conclusion

The 2009 Toyota Sequoia can be outfitted as richly as you like, but to get the best optional gadgets, you have to go for the top-level trim.

Other Choices:

For now, shoppers in this class have a lot to celebrate, with some really good vehicles that dealers are, in most cases, heavily discounting to get off the lots. The Chevrolet Tahoe was recently redesigned and reigns supreme, with its long-wheelbase version, the Suburban, in this segment, and its V-8 engines are both responsive and fuel-efficient. The Ford Expedition was redesigned a few years back with a more luxurious interior; it comes in standard or long-wheelbase editions, and stands out for having a good ride and capable handling even though its power ratings lag. The Nissan Armada comes with one wheelbase and one engine, but its big V-8 makes the brassiest sound at speed, and its styling is still like no other.
