2008 Toyota Sequoia Specification- Ride Handling

The 2008 Toyota Sequoia is a full sized sports utility vehicle that seats eight passengers. It is available in three models, SR5, Limited and Platinum. To provide a vehicle that will be perfect company for the driver or passengers even on very long trips, the designers and engineers focused on improved ride comfort and quietness and on enhanced straight-line stability. For the current models, the manufacturer has provided a standard and an optional powerful engine. The models get power by a 4.7 Liter V8 engine that is rated at 273 horsepower and 314 pound-feet of torque. This engine is mated with a five speed automatic transmission. The manufacturer has also provided an optional 5.7 Liter V8 engine that is rated at 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. The 5.7 Liter engine is equipped with a six speed automatic transmission.

Both engines provide for a smooth and quiet drive whether one is riding it on city streets/highways or on rough dirt tracks. For a truck-based SUV, the riding experience of all the eight models is unusually smooth and settled. Moreover, the steering is as precise as any car. To produce a smooth highway ride, the models also come with standard new front suspension, an all-new independent rear suspension and improved shock absorber valving. All these contribute to an acceptable highway ride. Also the rear load-leveling air suspension system improves the ride. The available air suspension package and Active Variable Suspension (AVS), with settings for comfort, normal and sport, also help a lot in improving the ride comfort and increases the Sequoia's ability to tow and haul heavy loads while maintaining an appropriate ride height and chassis attitude.

It is believed by the manufacturer that the customers will not have any complaints on the 2008 Toyota Sequoia SUVs as far as the riding aspect is concerned.
