01 / Tables

Sequoia ground clearance by model year

Ground clearance is the gap between the ground and the lowest part of the vehicle. The approach, breakover and departure angles are the steepest slopes it can drive onto, over and off before the bumper, the belly or the tail touches. Every 2025–2026 Sequoia has the i-FORCE MAX 3.5L twin-turbo V6 hybrid and 10-speed automatic. Figures in US units; model years printed the same share one table, and a package that changes a figure gets its own row.
