Most Wanted Large SUV Under $45,000

Toyota Sequoia Winner: Toyota Sequoia

The Sequoia earned the top spot this year thanks to a well-rounded repertoire of features, performance and comfort. Its ultrasmooth V8 delivers enough power for everyday use while the well-sorted suspension keeps the big sport-ute under control no matter what you throw at it. Its interior features versatile seating arrangements that make it practical for moving kids or moving cargo, not to mention high-quality materials, a modern design and top-notch build quality. Add in Toyota's unflappable reputation for quality and you've got yourself one fine full-size SUV.


Honorable Mention: Chevrolet Suburban/Tahoe/GMC Yukon & Yukon XL

Whether in medium-size Tahoe/Yukon form or extra-large Suburban/Yukon XL guise, GM's big sport-utes provide just about all the capability you could ever need. With a full range of powerful V8s, sturdy suspensions and substantial tow ratings, these SUVs are the ones you want when heavy-duty towing and hauling are part of your daily routine. New features like XM Satellite Radio and four-wheel steering give these trucks some unique qualities that few other trucks can match. Add in seating for up to nine passengers, and it's easy to see why these are some of the most popular full-size sport-utes on the road today.
