A couple more for you: The 5,879-pound, 390-hp 5.6-liter V-8 powered Nissan Armada hits 60 mph in 6.3 seconds before finishing the quarter mile in 14.9 seconds at 94.0 mph. The ESV Slade hits 60 mph even more quickly-6.1 seconds-and dusts off the quarter in 14.6 seconds at 95.2 mph.

The short-wheelbase Escalade hits 60 mph in 6.2 seconds and does the quarter mile in 14.6 at 97.0 mph. The Cadillacs, with their beefier 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8s, are a bit quicker. The same story is also true for the quarter mile, with the Tahoe taking 15.4 seconds at 90.6 mph and the big Suburban needing 15.7 seconds and only trapping at 88.6 miles per hour. That's quick enough to smoke the 355-hp 5.3-liter Chevys, with the Tahoe needing 7.0 seconds and the Suburban requiring 7.3 to hit 60 mph. The quarter mile happens in 15.2 seconds at 91 mph. All that power is enough to muscle the Sequoia to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds. Luckily, Toyota outfitted the Sequoia with a proper engine, the family 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V-8, which for Sequoia duty makes 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. The body-on-frame Sequoia neatly splits the difference with a 122-inch wheelbase. You should know that the Tahoe has a 116-inch wheelbase, whereas the Suburban sports 130 inches between the wheel centers. The regular-length Escalade weighs 5,870 pounds.

The Suburban-based, mack daddy Cadillac Escalade ESV weighed 6,027 pounds. We also happened to weigh a same vintage Chevy Suburban 4WD LTZ, and that longer American undercut the bulging Japanese people-hauler by 129 pounds, coming in at 5,952 pounds. For a little perspective, the last Chevrolet Tahoe we tested, a 2015 4WD LTZ model, weighed in at 5,744 pounds. Sequoia might as well contain all the consonants, too, because the SUV is truly massive, tipping the scales at 6,081 pounds.

The Sequoia is the only SUV whose name contains all the vowels. The biggest Toyota is fittingly named after the world's biggest tree-redwoods are taller, but Sequoiadendron giganteum are the largest living things on Earth.
