Toyota Sequoia Seats
That's a big plus for me, esp. if I'm going to be getting a $60k plus SUV. On the edmunds full test drive of the 2008 Sequoia, it lists as "not available" when comparing with other SUV's in it's class.
Any '08 owners can confirm this?
Thanks

Memory seats are not available on the Limited. If you need memory seats then you will have to get the Platimum model.
Are there controls at the inside rear to open the power liftgate from inside?
Thanks...
Depends which Sequoia model you're looking at. The powered split 3rd row seat is included in the Platinum model. Its included in other packages as standard or as an option. There are controls to lower and raise the powered 3rd row seats from the rear with the hatch open and there are duplicate controls on each side that can be reached with the second doors open. The controls inside each rear door control the split 3rd row seat on that side.
The 3rd row folding seat switches are deactivated when the vehicle is underway.
"Are there controls at the inside rear to open the power liftgate from inside?"
Yes, there is a rear powered hatch control that is located in the rear but it is only functional when the door is open. The rear hatch switch is deactivated when the hatch is closed. This switch is designed to close the hatch by pressing it for 2-3 secs. A tone will activate to alert those around the door that it is preparing to close. The rear hatch can be opened by power using the switch on the dash or opening it manually with the exterior handle. It can be closed by using either the power switch on the dash, the power switch in the rear or closing it manually.
The rear window can be opened/closed using a separate switch on the dash or using the key in the hatch to raise or lower the window by turning and holding the key left or right.
The is no mechanism for someone in the second or 3rd rows to open the hatch from inside the vehicle. All the better to avoid the little one's from inadvertently tumbling down the highway. (Or losing one of the little devils by design:)
Thanks,

1. Can you fit three car seats across the second row of the Sequoia?
2. If a car seat goes in the third row, what's the most convenient placement for it, either outboard or in the middle?
If anyone has any other advice on a situation such as this, please share. Thanks!

the universal anchor bolt that is nestled in the vehicles seats, (the U-shaped things that you latch the baby seat belts to), are only intended to have one seat latched to it. Often times, vehciles only have these anchors in the two outside seats...hence nothing to attache the middle child seat to...unless of course your oldest is in a booster in which case you can use the regular seat beat for that child and put her/him in the middle.
Here's you ebst corse of action. The Sequoia is expensive...get the dealer to let you take it out for the night or two and gie it a whirl.
We're in the market for one too but have three kids and aren't so sure about the flicking of the middle row seat forward to access the back.
Good luck.
If you kid is old enough to use booster seat, shouldn't be a problem I guess.
Does it make any difference with the 2nd row bucket seats?
Thanks!!
