So it seems for Toyota's full-size Sequoia, whose days -- according to reports from Pickuptrucks.com -- are numbered. Looks like Toyota will discontinue the massive sport-ute at the end of its current lifecycle. This is likely due not only to slow sales but to an effort to comply with upcoming government fuel-economy regulations that will go into effect in 2015. The four-wheel-drive versions of all three V8 engines get a measly 13 mpg city/18 mpg highway.

In other Toyota news, it looks as if the Japanese manufacturer will be updating its Tundra model for 2014, in order to compete with similar offerings from GM and Nissan.
