Toyota Sequoia
The previous generation of Sequoias got criticised for not being big enough. Looking at the 2009 generation, it is clear Toyota's engineers have heard the message. Today, the Sequoia is considered as one of the biggest SUVs on the market, offering one of the most powerful V8 engines. With enough space to accommodate seven or eight people, depending on the configuration, the Sequoia can tow loads weighing as much as 3,400 kilos. Of course, this isn't a fuel-efficient vehicle, but for those who really need this kind of power, they cannot go wrong with the Sequoia.
