The 2019 Toyota Sequoia Limited is a full-size SUV built for families who need serious space, reliability, and capability. It blends Toyota’s long-standing reputation for durability with a spacious, feature-rich interior and a powerful V8 engine. As the mid-level trim, the Limited adds premium features without stepping into the luxury pricing of the Platinum trim.

All 2019 Sequoia models come with a 5.7-liter i-Force V8 engine that produces 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers solid acceleration and plenty of muscle for towing or hauling, even with a full load of passengers and cargo. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but four-wheel drive is available for those needing better all-weather or off-road traction.

With the proper setup, the Sequoia can tow up to 7,400 pounds, making it a strong contender for pulling boats, trailers, or campers. The available Multi-Mode 4WD system with a Torsen limited-slip center differential (on 4WD models) enhances traction in challenging conditions. The Sequoia also features a truck-based body-on-frame design, contributing to its towing strength and durability on rough terrain.

Inside, the Sequoia Limited is all about room and comfort. It offers seating for up to eight with a spacious second row and an adult-friendly third row. Leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and a power-folding third-row are standard in the Limited trim. The cabin is wide and airy, with large windows and a high seating position that gives the driver excellent visibility. Interior materials lean more toward functional than luxurious, but build quality is excellent.

The 2019 Sequoia received a welcome tech upgrade with the standard inclusion of Toyota Safety Sense-P, which adds key driver-assistance features like:

Adaptive cruise control

Lane departure alert

Automatic high beams

Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection

Other standard features on the Limited trim include:

Navigation with a 7-inch touchscreen

Bluetooth connectivity

14-speaker JBL premium audio system

Power liftgate

Three-zone automatic climate control

However, it lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is a downside for tech-savvy users.

In addition to Toyota Safety Sense, the Sequoia includes blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rearview camera. Its size and high ground clearance provide a commanding view of the road, and the truck’s heavy-duty construction adds to a general sense of security.

The Sequoia delivers a smooth and confident ride for its size, especially on the highway. While it’s not agile in tight city corners or parking lots, the suspension does a good job of absorbing bumps, and the V8 ensures you’re never short on power. It’s a bit thirsty, though — expect 13–17 mpg, depending on the drive configuration.

The 2019 Toyota Sequoia Limited is a solid, no-nonsense full-size SUV. It might not have the most modern infotainment or the luxury flair of some competitors, but it makes up for that with tried-and-true reliability, massive interior space, and excellent towing capacity. For large families or adventurers who prioritize dependability and roominess over flashy tech, the Sequoia Limited remains a smart and durable choice.
