I have a 2002 sequoia 4WD bought it in 2001 700 K plus mileage now and still going . Engine still running strong. Very reliable. Love it. I'm buying that soon as I get home.
I have a 2010 Sequoia Platinum. The thing is a Beast ! Powerful, safe and reliable. Worth every penny. Keeps the family very safe and comfortable on long trips. Love my Toy Tank !
Great Video... I just made the switch from a Chevy Tahoe to the Sequoia-SR5 model. It wasn’t an easy choice, but it boiled down to reliability. Sure the Tahoe is much more luxurious and you get better MPG, but don’t depend on it. In a matter of a year I had to take the Tahoe back 4 different times for the same issue. In the end GM claimed it was my fault, to release themselves from the liability, and asked that I pay for work that should have been covered through the manufactures warranty. I had to get the BBB involved and settled my claim. It was hard decision since I had been a loyal Chevy customer, but this experience was eye opening. I’m very happy with my purchase and know I made the right choice. The ride and suspension are smooth. The interior is spacious and convenient for a large family. Overall, great investment for a solid SUV and great resale value.
Welcome to the Sequoia family. We have had our 16 Sequoia Platinum new and we love it. It’s my wife’s daily for getting the kids around and our road trip/vacation vehicle. It is a tank and no issues at all. We went to a Christmas Tree farm and it was a foot of mud all over, and there was a huge line just to get out, so we just drove around everyone in the mud. It was great.
I bought my first new Sequoia in 2001. Traded it in for a new one in 2007 and then traded that one in for a new one in 2016. I will always own a Sequoia. They are AWESOME! I did shop around and nothing can compare to the size and cargo area.
Sixty thousand dollars plus is a lot of money for a mainstream midsize 3 row crossover. But it's worth noting that a 2020 Explorer ST or Platinum trim has a roughly equal MSRP with a turbo V6 rather than a less stressed V8 and a tow rating of 5600 lbs compared to the Toyota's rating or over 7000 lbs. If I were planning to hold onto either one for 10 years, the Toyota would be my choice.
Those turbo 6 aren't stressed. Stress means the engine has to work outside of it's normal parameters. The were literally built to operate under those conditions. That's like saying a v8 is more stressed than a v4
The Sequoia may have bad mpg but as I told my friend who was looking at the SR5 trim over the Tahoe that *You're going to save $17,000 over the Tahoe so take the cash $17,000 place it towards gasoline cards and when the $17k gas card is empty sell it for $15,000 more VALUE than the Tahoe in 5-7 year's*! Reliable SUV's and Trucks are what people should buy, not expensive repair jobs at the dealership @$150.00 a hour labor!
Yeah I agree you trade gas mileage for reliability often in a lot of vehicles. Even those small engines with direct injection and turbos, not reliable and very dirty compared to this tank.
Love my 2013 Sequoia as well as it's simple interior. I'm not into all the gadgets, and electronic overload in American made vehicles, just more things to break down, and comparable SUV's can't beat Toyotas engineering. No way!
My moms 03 sequoia has to be the best imo. Ik its old and old tech, but we love that thing to death, has never let us down, and i like the style of the first gen, not to bulky like the newer ones.
Hey FAR, I may have missed something. This SUV has a 26 gallon fuel tank. You said you average about 18 mpg and that a full tank gave you around 280 - 300 miles. I'm trying to do the math. Did I miss something?
Thinking of buying a limited or is it called the Platinum, cross shoping it against TAHOE and Explorer. But i feel the Sequoia is a better bang for my buck
Honestly don't listen to Packard. The explored is a different category. The Tahoe is just as big as the sequoia and they are built to last. There's a reason why all the old 3 row SUVs you see on the road are escalades, Tahoe's, and Yukons
@@djayt1215 Negative... The Sequoia will outlast a Tahoe by a large amount.... I think the Tahoe looks better though. Hell my 08 is still worth around 18k. It's just an ugly solid suv that never dies.
This really is the SUV of choice if you want a full size vehicle. Simple, reliable, powerful and doesn't have any of the usual BS associated with "trendy" vehicles. No DFI so no carbon buildup, a solid motor, solid transmission, AWD, plenty of space and with regular maintenance it will go for 300k no issues.
Took the metal skid plate off my Sequoia because it made oil changes a PITA. The one time I had to take it in to the dealership for an oil while on vacation in Arizona they didn’t reinstall the hardware for it correctly and half of the screws and spacers were missing. I had to pay $75 for the complete hardware kit because you can order just the individual fasteners and spacers. So the complimentary oil change only cost me $75 and a lot of aggravation.
Guys just to let you know this truck is awesome. Balls on steal and its worth every penny. Now this truck is big but it gets the job done, this comes in a V8-model and its 300 hp
MSRP $60000, but I only paid $50000 at last October for a new car. Now used with 15k miles only sell around $43000. Next time I will buy a used toyota and safe extra money for upgrades.
You're a pleasure to listen to. You have a great personality. I would love this vehicle for camping because it holds a lot and if you really wanted to, you could sleep inside without any problems.
I ma tell u right know my mom has a 2005 i think sequioa and it has over 240,000miles and its still driving fine and its still pulls off with speed and we have been doing so many long road trips too 😂😂 im surprised its still works
My grandma and mom got pulled over the same day together speeding in there 2003 sequoias my moms was a limited and grandmas was an sr5 4wd and they were both silver this was when we where on our way to lake mead 😂
I want a 4Runner but I have another kid on the way and it may not be feasible. My favorite vehicle I've ever owned is a 4Runner. The Sequoia for me especially a 4Runner that went to the gym
The Interior Guage Cluster LOL, looks like its from 1999. FYI a 2020 Corvette C8 Starts at. $60K hmmmm a $60K soccer mom tank or a $60K Base Corvette C8 ? 😡🙌
True but nobody would ever cross shop the two. If you are looking at this vehicle or anything it competes with a Corvette is nowhere on that shopping list. So with all due respect that comparison is incredibly irrelevant. 😬
Except.... lately Toyota has been having problems with 5.7 and water pumps going early. Fuel pumpsGarage has had more then a few. Wow I feel they did cheap out no lights for vanity mirror. Even my 41,000 15 year old Jeep does geez $60,000 dollars huh?
Tbh if you plan on getting a family it’s usually the one people always stay with therefore I say the sequoia is the best pick do to reliability my moms 2003 limited sequoia almost had 200k miles but then I was in a accident then she got a 2006 limited with 180,000 miles and my dad crashed that one but we never had to do anything to them oh one time my dad left the 2006 sequoia without transmission oil for 2 weeks good thang nothing happened to it 😂
Something fishy about this review. He uses terms you find on the Toyota website. So is he just regurgitating the Toyota ads? He, like ALL the others say the same thing. The vehicles are old school. Why is that mentioned? Tell us what the truck is capable of. But he says the same thing as everyone else. Have you noticed, all reveiwer's say "contrast stitching" instead of some non technical phrase like white stitching. Makes me suspicious they are just another voice for selling Toyota's.
Gregory S You’re looking way too much into this. It’s just casual terms used in the auto industry. My job is to present these vehicles for what they are. I’ll throw my opinion in every now and then but my goal is to inform not make a decision for you. I let the viewer decide based off of the information given.
I looked at the Armanda too,but I went with the Sequoia cause of the reliability of the port injection. Unsure about direct injection Nissan decided to go with. Definitely not interested in paying for the walnut blasting to clean intake valves.The Armada/Qx80 has great acceleration though.
I have a 2002 sequoia 4WD bought it in 2001 700 K plus mileage now and still going . Engine still running strong. Very reliable. Love it. I'm buying that soon as I get home.
What kind of oil do u use and have u ever changed the timing belt? Just curious...
I have the 2003 and it's a fantastic truck
Prolific Widit yes he had to at least 7 times since it’s every 100k on those models
2006 owner and yes their unbelievable
I have a 2010 Sequoia Platinum.

As long as they are Powerful and Long Living, I don't care about all the missing hi- tech.
I aggree
Honestly you can add after-market tech (backup camera, stereo, etc.)
Most of that stuff from OEM is overpriced and underdeveloped
I would swap in an LSx twin turbo motor, that’s it
the newer models have stuff like blind spot monitoring and apple carplay, just as many features as you get in cinpetition
@@buffsamuraifred6037 still get better gas mpg
I would not only pay 60k for it, but a lot more. Forget about all the fancy technies, it's all about reliability.
Agreed

Off base there man. GM has problems but large SUVs is one thing they do well. GM also gives huge price cuts on new vehicles.
Interesting!
I didn't knew these were THAT practical and well designed
Such a shame they just let age hopelessly, such a cool car.
I don't want the Sequoia body style to ever change. I own a 2008 and I love it.

sequoia is a great car, last forever and can tow pretty much anything. Old ones even have JBLs!

Love my wife's 2010!!! With a growing family it's, perfect for us.
It doesn't have much that my 2005 Sequoia doesn't have, or I added for safety and convenience. My 2005 has JBL!! wth
Exactly! Fantastic vehicles since always :)
$60k now, $10k in a few years.. First Gen Seqouia's are a great vehicle with a incredibly reliable engine. Capable of hitting a million miles.
10k? Wrong, my friend. That vehicle will retain way more than that.
Overland Autism Adventures I got an 03’ with 350k still rolling strong!
one issue i have is i have bought 2 different catalytic converters because of thieves
Overland Autism Adventures 10k in a few years? They hold value better than any other full size SUV
2010 Sequoia paid for and the dealership still asking for 16 k for mines with 167K. Never selling. My 10 year old looks just like this.
I have a 2015 Sequoia Limited and it is awesome!!!!
The interior dash is a turn off. They should've made the interior the same as the Tundra when it got revised a few years ago

I have never found a Toyota sequoia owner who were not satisfied 😂
If were honest toyota owners are typically fan boys. You will very rarely see them complain
@@djayt1215 what's there to complain when it doesn't break😂😂😂 but that mpg is terrible oh well

What's the difference with trd sport vs the trd pro. What do you get for an extra 10 grand
Australia don't get this model. How's it compare to the Landcruiser??
it's 30k less & a lot roomier
bit more comfy because independent rear suspension w/ optional air shocks
Less luxurious, more practical and bigger
I never realized how many parts Toyota reuses from car to car. You'd think because of that, their cars/trucks would be much cheaper than they are.
Except.... lately Toyota has been having problems with 5.7 and water pumps going early. Fuel pumpsGarage has had more then a few. Wow I feel they did cheap out no lights for vanity mirror. Even my 41,000 15 year old Jeep does geez $60,000 dollars huh?

Are the first 2 rows seats heated?
Abdullah bin Shahid NO 😐
Tbh if you plan on getting a family it’s usually the one people always stay with therefore I say the sequoia is the best pick do to reliability my moms 2003 limited sequoia almost had 200k miles but then I was in a accident then she got a 2006 limited with 180,000 miles and my dad crashed that one but we never had to do anything to them oh one time my dad left the 2006 sequoia without transmission oil for 2 weeks good thang nothing happened to it 😂
Toyota need to update the interior and I will buy it
Ok I’m sure they will do so now that you promised you’d buy one......
I like the Rugged durability and quality of the it... Keep it simple. BUT how can they justify 60 K?
I wish I can buy one.
Look 4 used ones.dont be worried if it has high miles if it adult oned with regery oil changes.
Literally the same since 2007
what are you shooting.?
Looks like my '11 Tundra🤣
Andrew M. it’s the same exact drivetrain but more rigid frame and better rear suspesnsion
Wow mines got 16mpg max
Too bad you can't get it without the ridiculous 3rd row seat! They are now returning the 3rd row into the Land Cruiser as well. SMH.
