This is the giant best suv of all time
Proud to have toyota
Hey Scotty can you make a video on the 2008-2012 Honda accords I want to buy one as my first car
you'll be sorry!
Interesting fact: The Toyota Sequoia was on the list of SUVs that can last 200k miles
My 2001 SR5 with 300K miles took my children from the hospital to home when they were born and to college. Oil change every 5K.
I currently daily drive an 03 Limited 4wd and it just ticked over 340,000 miles. Super reliable.
My wife has a 2010 Limited with 190K on the clock. It has been a wonder reliable ride. Change the oil at 5K.
I dont trust going 5k even though these engines can withstand it I do mine every 3k or less. Never fails everytime I check the oil its gold never brown
My uncle has the limited Toyota Sequoia 2001 or 2002 barley has 35k on it
@will edwards Amen to that 😁
I have an '01 Sequoia with 156k miles. Bought it in 2002. I figure it's got another 20 years in it! I haven't had a car payment for 17 years and do my own maintenance. This is a quality vehicle that's a great value.
You got a lot of time to enjoy the car brotha
How’s it holding up?
This is why when I am going to buy a car, I am going to pick Toyota. I am currently looking for durable cars. Toyota cars last for really long time. My dad has 2017 Rav4 and it still working like we bought it yesterday. Proper maintenance is the key here. Now, I am looking for cars that can serve me well.
Scotty I am from the Dubai and these cars are extremely dependable here. The owner made a great choice buying this Sequoia
Gotta say the same in Mexico, 3 of my neighbours have a Sequoia, beauty and capable: hot, snowy, rainy, sandy, pot-hole roads, can handle them.
Same north Africa Libya
Never see them here biggest and coolest thing here I see all the time is a woman with a white european version Land Cruiser in white.
Big V8 diesel but it's not that dependable. That's why she's gonna get rid of it. I mean it's got 187.000km on it, and all of our customers get rid of their cars before they hit 200.000km
Cars are just unreliable peaces of junk made by moneyhugging snob-companies.
@@hishamehisho1430 سلامنا لبلادك الحبيبة ..
Toyotas trucks love dry sandy environments. They could go 400 000 kms in soft sand and be just fine. Australia middle east Mexico etc. Etc. They know which truck to buy.
Such an under appreciated vehicle. My parents bought an 04 sequoia brand new off the show room floor. My siblings and I grew up in it. We traveled everywhere in it. My dad is gone now and I’m the proud owner of the vehicle. My dads seat was empty for years, but now my boy fills that seat along with my wife who drive in it every day. 200k+ miles and has never let us down. When my day comes, my son will drive it and pass it down to his son one day.
A family heirloom! RIP to your pop
Awe this is so sweet!
My '06 Sequoia has 240,000 miles and it's still going strong! Best vehicle I've ever owned.
Greg S 240k just about the break in period is done
I have ab 03 with 253k. I plan on keeping it until it dies
My 2006 limited edition has 118,000 on it. I live on Kauai and I never go over 50 mph and I drive it 12 miles a day, 70 miles when I go to town to go shopping. I got it from my sister who was meticulous about upkeep. She had the timing belt replaced at 60,000. I love this vehicle.
Greg S 05 with 253k
330k on my 2003!
I had a 2003 Sequoia rear wheel drive. It had about 187k miles when I bought it. It hadn't been taken care of. I did a full maintenance and preventative maintenance on it myself. I drove that thing to over 328k miles before I spun it off the road backwards on an icy Highway, The tow hitch dug into the soft shoulder and it flipped end over end and then started rolling longitudinally. I rolled around 270 ft before landing on all 4. The Sequoia was still running and I had VERY minor injuries. I picked up all my belongings and drove it at a shallow angle up the soft steep embankment and drove it 100 miles home in 13f weather. I stopped once to pry the rocks out of the wheel bead and fill the tires with air. That was the only mechanical concern I had. That beast made it 100 miles home, into the garage and out several months later when Insurance finally came to tow it off. The tow truck driver asked if it ran, it started instantly and he drove it on his flatbed. I'm actually looking to get rid of the 21 Tundra I bought to replace it and am searching for a 4x4 2nd gen sequoia. They're not perfect, but I wouldn't hesitate to trust them with my life for a second. 328K miles and it ran like a top after 187k of poor treatment.
Better to have a TGH (Tremendous Gas Hog) than an EMP (Endless Money Pit)
Most definitely.
That's what I say to my friends, but they have close minds. Repairs are more expensive than your annually payment on gas
Not both.
dont want TGH or EMP...id rather have a camry
I have the problem with modifying mine. Getting front and rear diffs, lift kit, aftermarket bumper. Makes it a TGH and a EMP 😂
My parents bought one in 2000... it’s mine now 20 years and 289,000 miles later
😀👍awesome
My mom got me an ‘02 with 300k on it. After a little work on replacing some worn components, the thing runs like a dream. I am forever grateful for my dream truck
My 03 (168k )is a monster traveled many times to Sarasota to Miami with 8 people and the power was still there. Best SUV ever
I got an 02 with 300k as well. Runs like a charm
Smart mom...
Just bought an 03 from the original owner with 248k now 252k best car ive ever owned. Super smooth ride engine looks brand new. And i have seen other 4.7L hit over a million miles i love this suv
It's really reliable SUV... I have a 2004 Sequoia ... No problems at all... only regular service 👌
I owned a 2005 Toyota Sequoia and it was the best 3rd row SUV I owned. PERIOD!
Worst fuel economy, best reliability!
Hari Om facts
My 04 gets 15 mpg avg rip
@@seungjae7462 not too bad
My 03' Tundra with 170k miles is the same way.. Super Reliable!!! All I do is warm it up before I drive, change the oil and its good to go!
True
Those first generation Sequoias were bulletproof love the 01-04 they never die.
My 2016, is still bulletproof!
Toyota Sequoias May be gas guzzlers but they are extremely reliable vehicles
I used to love these suvs as a kid, i wanted my parents to buy one
Nothing lasts forever. But if it lasts long it's well worth it.
I got an 07, any thoughts?
With all the uncertainty and anxiety about COVID-19, thanks Scotty for keeping us informed and entertained in your usual helpful manner. Best wishes from the UK 😀
Dr Ian Bennett yes any and everything else is a welcome reprieve about now!
Ever since I started watching Scotty I have gained much appreciation for reliable cars. I put them ahead of shiny fast cars now.... if they can be fast and reliable it’s a bonus
Many, if not all, of my neighbor’s Fords out ran my 2007 Sequoia from 0-60. On the other hand, my Sequoia has out ran all of them from 60 to 200,000 (miles that is)and counting.
Lol,impressive...
My Toyota mechanic of 21 years told me he's only seen 4 4.7 v8s fail. 1 from repeated overheating and the other 3 timing belts way past service interval. One of his customers has over 450k on it and still runs great.
Mine has a head gasket issue
@@Foolrunner02… fix it and continue driving
Just bought to my neighbor a 05' sequoia with 134,000k !!!!!! $2,800
Just change rack and pinion, valve covers and emergency break hardware.
Ready to go! Best truck ever in my life.
I’m in the used car business but usually always buy new. I traded in my 2018 Tacoma TRD off road 4x4 with 34k in for a 2006 Sequoia I took in trade. I got $2200 less for my Tacoma than when I bought it and was feeling transmission issues and rear end issues in it already. Got out of my payment and paid cash difference for a 179k mile sequoia that drives excellent. Little stuff need to fix but the difference in quality between old Toyota and new Toyota is just night and day difference.
Are you refering to 90's toyota as "old Toyota or the 06' 1st gen sequoia as "old toyota"?
Scotty! Bought my first vehicle in December...a 2006 Sequoia 4WD. I never gave Toyota products the honor they deserve till I started watching you 2 years ago. Now look, I'm a happy Toyota owner. Thanks Scotty! Ring that bell :)
*Congrats on the purchase* , seeking one for my parents (Tacoma was totaled sadly). If I may ask, How much did you pay and any advice? *Take Care & Safe Travels*
Trust me I’m from a country where toyota run the jungle u got yourself one of the best prize in life just maintain it and you’ll be good
My 03 (168k )is a monster traveled many times to Sarasota to Miami with 8 people and the power was still there. Best SUV ever
@@marcosbravo87 I'm looking at an 03 with 175,000 miles,do you think it'll hold up over the years to come????
@@five18audio I am looking at a 2010 sequoia platinum V8 5.7L with 310k km on it, for around $18k cad, any advice or you think this is a good deal?
Thanks a lot, Scotty, I was just talking with a roommate about picking their first car wisely and how dependable Toyota was making their vehicles pre-2010.
I brought my 02 sequoia limited for 800 dollars at a salvage auction. It has 350,000 miles and runs like a top.
Had an 05 sequoia that the family bought in 2010.. just sold it a few months back and the thing had 252k on it .. I would purposely beat this thing and it still ran like a top.. never had any issues .. if you have 15 20k don’t be afraid of these things with miles on them .. you can’t kill these things even if you tried because I did
I think the older ones are better ...❓
James California the 2005 Sequoia is the older body style.
How bout them Cowboys 🤠
We have two vehicles with the 4.7L (98 Land Cruiser and an 03 4runner). Outstanding engine!
Starter location isn't great, but they last so long...it's not a huge deal.
And I'm okay with doing a timing belt about every 100k
Brandon Burley - timing belt ? 🥺
psychiatry is eugenics Yes, older Toyota engines need timing belt and water pump every 80-100k as standard maintenance. However those are bulletproof for real
Otherwise that is one of the least intimidating engine bays out there. The timing belt is easy. The brake system is easy. Tons of room to get to most things.
Scotty, I've been watching you for years. Our 2006 Sequoia SR5 4X4 has been rock solid. Preventative maintenance and a few common failure items like the rear door latch have given us a heck of a vehicle. 176K miles strong and I would take this thing from Florida to Alaska without any concerns. Toyota hit it out of the park on the Gen 1 Sequoia. We will be buying a new one when the next generation is out for a few years. Thanks for your videos Scotty!
-I bought my 2006 Tundra DC from my uncle he was the second owner.
2wd 189k miles, original starter. I just replace the original wheels & tires with some 2019 Tacoma sport wheels. Looks way better now!
I did the same thing On my 03 sequoia also wither brand new paint.We pull at the school and the teacher said can you open the tail gate she thinking it was a newer electronic tail gate because of the look of the car LOL
Toyota Sequoia really a reliable vehicle. We maintain 7 of this and its already 700,000 kilometers and still working fine and No major repairs are done on it. Great vehicle.
@NASA F not everyone is from the USA lol
NASA F no you. Kms are better. We need to work on getting the Americans switched over with the rest of the world
@@finncampeau4922 - America is fine the way it is ...👌☺
James California not with trump it isn’t
@@finncampeau4922 Actually it's even better 💸💨
I bought one here in Houston for $3,200. A 2002 with 155,000 miles and well taken care of.
That's a steal brotha keep that thing!!
Wow! Great deal!
@Bill Jones no I wish
@@sweetlow8805 some turd stole my catalytic converters from it a couple weeks ago, and cut a line to my transmission. Unfortunately now I have to replace the whole transmission thanks to some rats POS.
Now 6 months later I see some people asking like 10k for the same model and mileage. Crazy.
*Geez Scotty did your Celica gain some weight?*
my kind of vehicle... ✌🏿👏👏
we cN let it happen... who knows....?!!!nothings impossible under the Florida Sun☀️🌞😎🌴👀🙄
love i sign out be bk.. 💋
love not feeling well really!?? I love to gv u my services.. more than Emily's.. 💋🤔🤔😊😙
am not sure.. of what I'll say.... is it that heavy!??? 🙄🤔☔👀🙄
Love my 1st gen sequoia, 01' 266k runs great no problem. Sequoia/Tundra groups are super nice to be apart of as well!
will drive for anothe 30 years in Africa before it's sold to another person
I couldn't have said this better. It will last a long time in Africa.
Ummmmm I'm gonna have to look into this vehicle..
I purchased a 2001 Sequoia at an auction recently for $1700. Took a gamble and it has been amazing. Everything works on it and we have recently taken it on a 1600mile trip. It has 260k on it. Runs so smooth!
Dang $1700! Nice find! I’m tempted to do the same and sell my 2018 f150 platinum! Lol
1700 is a steal no gamble at it
Toyota Sequoia is the most underated SUV out there I have a 2001 with 396k only have had to do small maintenance too it even the Toyota dealership offered me more for the vehicle then I initially paid for it 2 years ago
My 2004 has 300K miles. No oil leaks or oil burning. Runs strong.
I love this generation of sequoia and tundra. it still had some of there car styling on the interior.
I like that Toyota used to make their headlights out of actual glass. The headlights on my 91 LS400 are still clear as can be. They are made out glass.
Is the LS 430 good car since it's a toyota looks good 2003
mariofan200 just nonthing very great car, can’t go wrong with any car that has Toyota UZ engine.
@@th-mo8fq UZ engine
mariofan200 just nonthing LS400 came with 4.0L 1uz non vvti or vvti. Land cruiser/LX/GX/Sequoia/tundras/V8 4runners came with 2uz 4.7l vvti or non vvti. Ls430 came with 4.3L 3uz vvti
Just did the Meguiar's headlight restoration on my "03 Pilot. Looking good again. What year did they convert to plastic headlights? I too have a '91 Nissan with glass headlights, perfect...
Scotty I just bought a 2005 Sequoia SR5 2x4 with 200,000 miles on it, for $2200, from the original owner and all paperwork since purchase, California truck with zero rust. Given a few negligible small issues, like the hatch handle is stuck, but I can open it from the inside, hatch window motor is siezed, TPMS light on because all sensors needs replaced etc. Overall, super comfortable SUV, I have the bench seat in the back so I can haul 8 instead of 7 adults, even came with Nav radio. I have a 3 mile drive to work so I'm not worried about the mileage, just like the Civic I was driving before it. I see a lot of these out there super cheap, this is an excellent vehicle that people overlook and buy some garbage that doesn't last anyway.
One major flaw in the first gen is the lower ball joints are known to fail often. Make sure to check them if you buy one and buy OEM only no auto zone or O’Reilys stuff.
Thank you....
I have had a sequoia for 10 years never disappointed, the only time I took it into the shop for the engine or anything is to replace the MAF sensor and that was it. All you gotta do is routine maintenance (oil, coolant, etc) and it'll last you 400,000+ miles Toyota never disappoints.
As the owner of a used 2006 Sequoia SR5 with 144,000miles......your review was on point. The 4.7 V8 still hustles when you floor the accelerator!
I bought a 2004 Toyota Sequoia limited for $4000 best decision anyone can make, great for big families and road trips
Amazing trucks, i used to be obsessed with them as a kid, i would buy a first gen!!
How’s gas?
I'm looking at one with 214k for $3500.
I bought my 04 seqouia for 3700 and traded a 93 toyota 4runner with issues. I keep mine clean and well maintained . it drives like a car and room for all my work gear and camping gear.
I own a 2006 Sequoia. Bought it for 10k with 70k miles on it. Use it for towing a 25' camper (about 5k lbs), and I hardly feel it behind me. So far, great vehicle!
I bought a 2001 with 135.000 miles on it one owner for 6000...the best SUV I ever owned
I have been asking for this video for about two years now. Thank you Scotty !👍🏿
$5000 what a great price for this bullet proof spacious SUV.
Mine wont even sell for 4000
Think1776 try to post, sell in other states, find out wat state he sold his in
The RWD ones are harder to sell and can be had cheap.
I just bought a 4wd for 3750 with same mileage
I also own a 04 sequoia,,,,, had to replace both rear o2 sensors. Oil change. I’ll need to replace valve cover gaskets leaking oil,,,, 135600 miles. Only thing rear wheel drive. Don’t drive it in winter time here in Alaska. Does have limited slip differential,,,,,,, but it runs smooth
If you could get your hands on a 2004 4-runner they are full time 4wd but have a center locker if stuck. I used mine in rocky tough terrain and even had extreme mud on the main road going up to the cabin after torrential rains and never had to lock anything, even on icey roads I could floor it and it would go in a straight line.
I see lots of them all year models in Colorado... they love them. It would be perfect for Alaska
N B agreed. Oh I have a 2000 es300 and. 2009 rx350 awd and a 06 corolla lol.
Thank Scotty! This video convinced me on getting me a Sequoia. I am now the owner of a 2006 Toyota Sequoia!😎🤙🏽
Recently bought an 08 Platinum with the 5.7L which has the timing chain instead of the belt. That and a lot of other changes in the second gen Sequoias makes them very desirable here in CO. We got it at auction so it was about $5,000 cheaper than retail but the Limited and Platinum models still go for $15,000 or more at the dealerships. The thing is as solid as a rock, massively roomy for the family and tows like a beast but actually gets about the same highway mileage as my 09 Tacoma.
I own a 2004 Sequoia Limited 4-wheel drive with 281,000 miles. Runs like a new one and not a squeak or rattle inside. I love it. I get around 15-16 mpg. The '07 in this video appears to be the lower trim level SR5 with the optional leather interior.
Gosh they made this 4.7 bullet proof, i have a 2006 v8 tundra and man i love this thing is just so good!
HAW HAW, Truth, I have an '06 as well, and that thing never dies.
What bout the 5.7 which one is better
@@andersonrodriguez8258 Could not say, but the 4.7 wd be hard to beat.
My 03 (168k )is a monster traveled many times to Sarasota to Miami with 8 people and the power was still there. Best SUV ever .Both engines,are good
Toyota 4.7 is one of their best engines!
Copy that, Chus, like I said above.
The 5.7L iforce V8 was the successer of the old 4.7L V8
I have the 4.6 on my 2012 GX460. Great motor. 21.4 MPG going 70-80 mph from LA to San Francisco.
George Smith
Absolutely false!
It doesn’t cost thousands, it is closer to $800 for parts and labor. The manifold is the part that has the issue, not the engine.
It has to do with the design of the manifolds, weight and ability to pass emissions.
I know because I have dealt with this issue on my 4Runner.
George Smith
That’s YOUR mechanic.
I’ve experienced the same problem, but I paid under $1,000 for mine. As previously stated, IT’S NOT THE ENGINE! It IS the manifolds. If you put headers on there, they won’t crack.
You probably pay a ton for your oil changes too. 😂
The starter on this (especially with the AIR system on the 2005+ models) was the bane of my existence when I was at Toyota. What a pain to do and it was common enough to remember.
I'm sitting in my 2003 Sequoia watching this video. 227,600 miles and 14.5 mpg it says above. Rock solid and very reliable. I have been all over Texas is this suv with very minor issues. Toyota builds tanks
Just bought myself one two weeks ago. They did make them with Four wheel drive and up here in Idaho it is definitely needed. (Actually has a really impressive 4x4 system). Overall we are really impressed.
Wild Outdoor Living no issues with the 4wd system in mine. It just takes a minute to engage and disengage. If you’re going to get a vehicle like this with crap mpg, might as well go all the way and be prepared for anything (which also means getting A/T tires, and maybe a set of snow tires in your neck of the woods).
That 4.7L comes in the 4th gen 4runners from 03-09. Great engines never had a problem with them
I have 2005 land cruiser that we bought brand new back in 04. Now we have 280k miles in it, never had a single major issue. 4.7 V8 is a beast!! My landcruser has the TV on the Cieling too haha and navigation and all the nice goodies
DIAMLER I would choose the LC over the Sequoia were it not for the touch screen. Too hard to convert that to manual HVAC and an aftermarket stereo. Don’t want to be in the middle of winter when the touch screen goes out and you can’t control the heater/defroster.
Kevin R I love the touch screen it is super easy to use for me, however I think a better integration of it is in the Lexus ES330 I have as well. It is the same system except the radio is integrated into the touch screen and the climate controls are separate and below the screen with physical buttons.
I have a Toyota Sequoia 2004 and it only has 78k miles and it’s AMAZING, not one single problem since I got it. MOST DEFINITELY recommend but it’s crap for fuel economy. BUT STILL A GREAT GREAT VEHICLE
looks like my 05 tundra front end same 4.7 motor....runs perfect..
Sequoia's are Tundra-based, which is a good thing..
same engine
It's basically like the SUV version of the Tundra, much like how the 4runner is the SUV version of the Tacoma, same engine and transmission.
Chase Miller so true
Here's the video I've been dying for! Long live Sequoia.
Yeye!!!
My 03 (168k )is a monster traveled many times to Sarasota to Miami with 8 people and the power was still there. Best SUV ever
Recently picked up at 2014 for just under 25k, it makes me happy just to drive it to the grocery store in back, like taking your lounger with you.
I have a 2019 TRD and I love it so much. I’d been driving a 95 Tacoma standard cab for over 15 years and needed something bigger. It’s so damn big inside - yeah I’m lounging for sure.
Best road trip & overland truck! My 2003 4wd Sequoia Limited regularly averages 17.5 mpg on highway, Verified multiple times calculating mileage between fill-ups. That’s with me being very light on the pedal and cruising at 70mph.🚐🤙
My cousin has one of these with 330,000 miles on it and has only had to replace the ball joints and routine maintenance. Bullet proof
Always loved these suvs. Wish I had my friend dad’s Sequoia
I picked a 2005 a few months ago for $5500. Limited edition with Navigation, dvd, etc. 4 wheel drive. Best rig I have ever owned!
How many miles
@@chefhamy822 it had about 190,000 miles when I bought it. Still going strong with 245,000 right now.
I just got a 2016 platinum last December and I LOVE her! Best car I have ever had
275,000 miles 03, I got it at 100k. It was a survey work truck before I got it. Owner said he worked it hard wasn't sure if it would last much longer.
Best car I ever owned.
Got an 03 tundra with 150k miles runs like a champ
Love these vehicles. One of my friends asked a guy what his gas mileage is on his Tundra. He said don't ask.
2015 16 mpg town 18-19 highway 5.7L
Probably one of your best videos Scotty I got my 06 just half a year ago love it !
So I had an 08 V8 pathfinder. Well it took a crap on me! You literally put this out when I was looking to replace it with a sequoia! Thank you for this! I can buy one outright and beside a worn seat it’s totally worth it
best suv ever made. i got 330k and i've never had to fix my AC
How does a human being drive 330k miles I bet you must be going camping every single day
Original transmission ?
@@ilynpayne7491 330k in 20~ years isnt that hard to imagine. Im at 252K
WOW...Scotty featuring my suv. Have a 2005 with 269k miles, still runs like a champ.
Sequoia fam! I own a 2006 4WD with 176k miles
05 is the best year when it got all the upgrades.
My 2003 4wd sequoia SR5 gets 17.5mpg and has for its full life, 210k miles. Great vehicle, I bought it new and will never sell it. The only issue I have had is the lift gate handle has been replaced several times. I recently replaced the lift gate cable with the handle and now this opens beautifully. I drive it gently. No rust, original paint. In very windy conditions, it feels a little unsteady at highways speeds, but you get used to it.
Getting ready to buy a sequoia from my friend next week. It looks identical to this one even the microphone thing for phone calls hanging off the handle on the driver's side also has 184k miles. Weird coincidence but watching this video gave me some piece of mind.
Scotty I have a 2001 model. Bought it with 150k on the clock in 2010. Nearing 240k. Love it. Love it. Love it. Gas mileage. What gas mileage. I don't want to know. Looks rough but still mechanically sound.
Best car I ever owned. Combined 18mpg. Replaced it with an Odyssey,14 MPG.
I always appreciate your opinion, i bought a 2007 tundra, and while I don't get that nice electric fan, it is certainly a great vehicle and as a bonus I got the 5.7. It has been super reliable for the past year i have owned it so far, and I have over 200k on it now. Knock on wood, it has been a privilege to own.
I had a 2001 sequoia, an amazing car and insanely reliable. I loved it so much
Got an 01 sequoia love the SUV took a massive crash and still is around today and only had 120k miles on it with no problems other than some body work
michael plascencia 120k miles barely broken in
Best suv ever made. We have a 2008 platinum. 206k on it. Not a single issue since we got it. No argument that this is the most bulletproof truck
Nick J oh I forgot to mention, not a single spot of rust either and were in the north
I have an 04 Sequoia and absolutely love it. Babied on the highway, I get 18 mpg. 276,000 miles plus and still rolling.
I had the 2001 sequoia the first year they came out, it was great I have a family of eight and everyone sat comfortable going out of state.
I have one 2003 with 137k miles and runs great!
My 03 (168k )is a monster traveled many times to Sarasota to Miami with 8 people and the power was still there. Best SUV ever
My sequoia has so much room, it never breaks. I took the last row of seats out I have tons of room. I bought mine with 180k did timing service so I can go another 90k easy...I have 215k now...very sturdy,no noise inside at all. It's a gas burner but it's really safe inside to drive ..the greatest thing is brakes are a piece of cake to do racing style...
I really look forward to your vids,I have learned a lot from you ! Thanks Scotty🌞
The price of these things just skyrocketed
Good thing I own one then.
They'll go down, people are losing job
Not as bad as first gen tundras
Nate S. I just got a 2003 Limited 4x4 for $6,000 with 140k
Nate S. Can’t touch these in my area, they are gold if you find a nice one
I love my 01 Sequoia. 260000 miles and still runs like a top. Just replaced the alternator the other day. But other than that I’ve not had to do much of anything.
Alright: I’ve Been Spreading the Word. Finally Scotty got a tick on his Subs. Nice. Up A Thousand. Way to Go! CJ
I bought mine in 2001. I have a black 2001 sequoia 4wd with 138,000 miles on it. This vehicle traveled from east coast to west coast with no problem. I plan on keeping it for a while that I decided to upgrade it. I retrofited the headlights with projectors so I can use HID bulbs,added LED strips and halos, installed goshers gps blind spot sensor, brandmotion blind spot camera and parking sensors.
Only issue is the frames
I had a 01 tundra , same as the sequoia.
It had frame rot and I bought it after the replacement offer passed.
But the engine and transmission were awesome.
The suspension and any component that could rust are a big problem for these In the rust belt
Otherwise a great truck / suv
Been waiting for this one. Thank you Scotty!
Yeah same! But I still went ahead and bought one in December. Great vehicle
Thanks for this video. I'm looking to buy an older Sequoia by next year. I like everything I hear about them.
I’m looking for one of these this year to get the family and dogs around for some summer trips. I’ve got a 2019 Ram 1500 but it doesn’t have the room we need so this will do the trick for long trips
Got to love that 4.7. wish my 4Runner had it!💪
I love my '03 4WD Limited, I plan on keeping it forever. Thanks for the great review! 👍
I have the same car. I want a new one, but hubs wants to keep this one. 03 limited with 238k. 4X4. It's a great car. I'm just wanting to try out the newer 5.7. Lol
@@tiffanyspicer1167 A few months ago I found a 5.7 Tundra I couldn't resist. SO MUCH MORE POWER!
I am hoping to get either a newer 5.7 sequoia or the Lexus LX 570. Maybe next year.......lol
Rented a Toyota Sequoia in the fall of 2019, OMG, I LOVED driving that thing. Extremely comfortable ride and handling. Solidly built. Power for days.
I would love to have a used one, but I live in the city, and they're just too big and unwieldy for narrow city streets and finding an air strip sized place to park it.
I ended up buying one after watching this a few months ago…definitely lives up to the review, thanks Scotty 🙌🏾
I’ve been waiting for you to say it. I still love my Sequoia
