Sequoia Engine, Transmission, & Fuel Economy
Full-size SUVs have gotten a bad reputation with a number of drivers, some of it possibly deserved. But one such vehicle that easily breaks all the preconceived notions is the 2011 Toyota Sequoia, available in Lynchburg, VA, which simultaneously manages to be spacious, comfortable, refined, and graceful, yet fast, versatile, and powerful. And you can find this vehicle here at Berglund Toyota, serving Charlottesville, Roanoke, Danville, and Bedford, VA.
Available in SR5, Limited, and Platinum trim levels, the 2011 Sequoia gets its power from either a 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque or a 5.7-liter V8 engine that generates 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. (The 5.7L engine is available as a gas-only version and as a flex-fuel variation that can use both gas and E85 ethanol fuel.) Every engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Drivetrain choices are comprised of two-wheel drive and Multi-Mode four-wheel drive, the latter of which features a limited-slip center differential and two-speed transfer case with electronic shifting and push-button locking. When properly equipped, the 5.7L has a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,400 pounds, yet can still travel from 0 to 60 mph in a startlingly quick 6.7 seconds despite its almost 6,000-pound body weight, thereby making it one of the fastest SUVs in its class. It can also come to a complete stop, from 60 mph to 0, in only 127 feet, a very short distance for an SUV of this size. When both the second and third rows are folded down, drivers have access to 121 cubic feet of cargo space, giving you enough space to transport all your gear, from bikes to band equipment. Fuel economy differs depending on your choice of engine and drivetrain â?? the 4.6L attains the best numbers at 14 city/19 highway MPG, the 5.8L gets a bit less at 14 city/18 highway MPG, and 4WD-equipped models achieve slightly less than that at 13 city/18 highway MPG.

Sequoia Safety Features
Parallel parking is a breeze thanks to front and rear parking sensors. Always be aware of what is behind you while backing up with the backup camera, integrated either into the rearview mirror or the navigation system, if installed. Standard on all Toyota vehicles, the Star Safety System includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), and Smart Stop Technology (SST) that automatically reduces engine power when both the brake and accelerator pedals are pressed at the same time.
