Reader Reminds Us The 2014 Toyota Sequoia Exists, And It Ain't Bad
I keep forgetting the 2014 Toyota Sequoia is a thing. Maybe it's because I never see them, or maybe GM has finally brainwashed me into believing the only large SUV is the Chevy Suburban. Either way, I'm thankful Oppo poster "Hi, I'm Nibby!" was kind enough to share his impressions...
