Two performance powerhouses that are perfect for drivers who need an especially rugged people mover are the 2019 Toyota 4Runner and the 2019 Toyota Sequoia. While both models deliver premium performance, they were built for different uses. While the 2019 Sequoia specializes in hauling people and cargo, the 2019 4Runner specializes in getting drivers off the beaten path and safely back again.

As you can see from the specs above, when it comes to seating the 2019 Toyota Sequoia has a leg up. Base 2019 Sequoia models offer seating for up to eight passengers. Drivers interested in upgrading to second-row captain’s chairs will be limiting their seating capacity to seven. Base 2019 4Runner models come standard with two rows of seats with room for up to five. Select trims offer an available third-row seat upgrade which brings the total passenger capacity to seven, though the third-row seats may be a little tight for adults to fit comfortably.
In terms of performance, the 2019 4Runner and 2019 Sequoia lineups will each have their expertise. The 2019 Toyota Sequoia offers a higher towing capacity of up to 7,400-pounds when properly equipped and a stronger engine that helps it perform even when the cabin is loaded with passengers and a boat is in back. It’s perfect for large families who want to be able to take all of their gear with them on weekend travel or for drivers who regularly need the ability to tow.
The 2019 Toyota 4Runner was built to tackle tough terrain. Though it does offer a towing capacity of up to 5,000-pounds when properly equipped, it really shines when trying to traverse uneven ground thanks to standard and available features like AWD with Active Traction Control, Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and a locking rear differential.
