2017 Toyota SequoiaFor outdoorsy folks, getting out into the elements is the highlight of a weekend getaway. There is nothing like a long scenic drive to relax before a difficult work week or a trip to the local park for a walk on the trail. Having the perfect ride makes this feat even more enjoyable. You may need room for some extra gear and snacks, or just a few touches of elegance to help you relax along the way. The 2017 Toyota Sequoia and the Toyota Land Cruiser both offer comparable features that complement any regular meeting with mother nature.

Toyota Land Cruiser

The Land Cruiser is widely known for its ability to maneuver through various types of terrain. Its versatile design features appeal to those who enjoy outdoor adventures. This includes a 32-valve V8 engine with 381 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic transmission that all make it easy to shift gears depending on the road conditions.

Springs and Shocks

Advanced suspension systems are also useful for driving along dirt roads or woodsy trails. The Land Cruiser features a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System in the front and a similar linked system in the rear. This makes for smooth handling and safety no matter where you venture off to. You can expect better aerodynamics and a smoother ride.

Safe Cruising

Also, the Land Cruiser includes the Toyota Safety Sense, which is quite advantageous for extended trips. This system includes a pre-collision system that monitors potential vehicle obstructions, maintains lane stability, and automates lighting as extra safety measures. The cruise control system offers an added feature to moderate trip time and even gas usage.

Toyota Sequoia

The Toyota Sequoia is equally appealing for family escapades. It offers the right amount of strength and durability with a 5.7 liter V8 engine with 381 horsepower. The four-wheel drive options deliver added power when hauling a trailer or additional cargo. The construction also complements Toyota’s dominance on the road. It is built with a remarkable fully boxed frame construction.

Road Ready

As opposed to the Toyota Safety Sense system, this model includes the Star Safety System with Vehicle Stability Control, Brake Assist, Traction Control, Anti-Lock Brake System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, and Smart Stop Technology. These features help to prevent collisions and manage car features in the event of a dangerous circumstances.

Reliable Quality

Both models embody the high level of quality and luxury that the Toyota brand is widely known for. The Sequoia and Land Cruiser can comfortably accommodate eight passengers and are both moderately priced. Another similarity is the expansive entertainment functions that make travels even more delightful. The Entune Multimedia suite gives drivers an aesthetically pleasing touch screen display, an auxiliary input to plug and play from personal devices, and Bluetooth wireless capabilities. The Entune system also allows users to access popular applications within the vehicle’s dashboards.

Once again Toyota gives drivers an enjoyable experience behind the wheel. Those who enjoy a few extracurricular activities outside of the home will be enlightened by these two models and their added features. They are both well matched for those who can benefit from a forceful SUV that takes command of the road.
