      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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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

    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

      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

    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.
