    My car buying philosophy over the last 30 years has been to buy a Toyota with around 100K miles. Often people start getting nervous about seeing those 6 digits on the odometer and feel they need to sell before it starts "breaking down". I have never been disappointed in my purchase!

    We had a 2003 Sequoia for nearly 20 years the only downside is it rides rough. I ended up putting fox shocks on it and that made a big difference so anyone that has this air of Sequoia highly recommend upgrading your suspension to fox shocks off-road shocks makes a huge difference.

    My 2006 Toyota 4x4 double cab Ute has a 3L diesel. I bought it with 320k at a great price. It just clicked over 525k. Changed timing belt twice with 2 water pumps steering and suspension bushes with tyres needing changing at 460k for on road compliance. Servicing is done every 6 months. Last month it only needed new drivers seat belt for compliance. My wife has a 2007, 2L Corolla bought with 120k on the clock. No timing belt replacement required same 6 month servicing as my Truck and with 285k now on the clock only required light bulbs for compliance....Toyota is a great reliable brand we will always look at first when purchasing a car.😊

    I have a 02 first gen Sequoia and love it I live in central Florida. When i first got it i lived in Co in the mtns and it did great on mtn dirt roads, trails, and venturing off the trails it always did great driving in snow. Awesome vehicle only downfall is the fuel mpg if it is your daily, other that as 2nd very capable vehicle I highly recommend anyone considering to purchase a first gen do it.

    Got a used 2006 Sequoia (4.7 v8) with 220k. Put 100k on it and still runs well. Avg duration for those engines is over 400k, longest running engines of any consumer car/truck. Many go 500k.

      @@indepmg It could be a good deal; everyone says it’s a Best Buy used car if you can afford the gas. Of course used cars have overall Maintenence issues so have a Mech examine it, get under it, test drive it. Find out what has been replaced because at that length probably everything like ball joints has at least once. My understanding is the timing belt needs replacement every 65k, which I should probably have done since I’ve run it over 65k in the time I’ve had it. I wouldn’t be so concerned about the engine if everything else seems good, because the chance a 400k rated engine lasting another 100k is probably higher than a 150k engine lasting another 50k if you know what I mean. but you have to factor in an engine replacement sometime, so it wouldn’t hurt to price that out in advance. It’s a job a backyard mech can do with a salvaged engine. It is true the Toyota 4.7liter engine is just getting broken in when other engines are having their final days.

It has ice cold AC, tons of cup holders for the kids. Super spacious with tons of trunk space if you remove the third row. The first gen Sequoia is underrated. Get one now before they blow up in price.

    Condenser fan question. I have a 2005 Sequoia Limited 2WD with 237K. Still has factory Denso fan.
    I understand that the condenser fan only comes on when the AC is on.
    My question. Does the condenser fan change speeds when it’s on? Or should it should it be a constant speed?
    The AC mechanic told me I need to replace my condenser fan.
    When the truck is stopped/idling, it tends to spin much slower. Obviously, I can’t see the fan while driving. I was under the impression that the condenser fan speed should remain constant. Regardless of whether you’re at a complete stop or driving city/highway speeds.
    Or am I missing something?
