    The Toyota Sequoia is a full-size SUV manufactured by Toyota mainly for the North American market since 2000 for the 2001 model year, being derived from the Tundra pickup truck. It is the second largest SUV ever produced under the Toyota brand, after the Japan-exclusive, military-focused Mega Cruiser.
    Previously manufactured at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton, Indiana between 2000 and 2021, and then in Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas in San Antonio, Texas since 2022, the Sequoia is the first vehicle from a Japanese marque in the popular mainstream full-sized SUV class in North America, and initial planning done by first-generation Sequoia chief engineer Kaoru Hosokawa aimed the Sequoia directly at the Ford Expedition, Chevrolet Tahoe, Nissan Armada, and other full-size SUVs.
    Up until the 2021 model year, the Sequoia was slotted between the mid-size 4Runner and the premium Land Cruiser in the North American Toyota SUV lineup. With the discontinuation of North American sales of the Land Cruiser from the 2022 model year onward, the Sequoia became the flagship SUV in Toyota's North America lineup.
    As of 2021, the Sequoia is sold in the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica. It is offered in left-hand drive only.

      I used to think the same thing but they kinda started growing on me lol. Originally I was looking into 3rd gen 4runners but these were cheaper alternatives

    I'd rather get this over a similar gen 4 Runner.... there's typically a premium on used 4 Runners where there are way more expensive than similar Pathfinders and other competitors

    How expensive was the timing belt job? Thinking about buying one off auction and looking to factor that into the equation

    I've come to believe the only reason we have the "leaking gasket problem" is because this thing lasts so long!

      I'm shopping for another big vehicle, that I can have a heads up on. I can't find a disappointment opinion yet..just all the same long life issues (gasket, back handle,traction control circuitry, balls, etc). I'm thoroughly impressed with how inconsequential everyone speaks on these issues...and then keeps driving them! I'm sold🎉

    Why are you In 4wd on the surface streets? Just so you know I can see it on the dash. Epic review by the way! I put over 40,000 thousand two sequoia 2002! 4wd . Also Put it through the paces off road four wheel drive.

    • @ErvayAutoReviews
      @ErvayAutoReviews  Před 7 dny

      The 1st and 2nd sequoias have a full time 4wd like the landcruisers, except the sequoia can go into 2wd and the landcruiser cannot. So driving it in 4wd on paved roads doesn't effect anything except gas mileage. I had it on because it rained the other day and forgot to turn it off.

    I have the same issue with my overflow reservoir in my '05, my guess is that it has a leak and I'm going to replace it. As you're going to shift the vehicle on, I wouldn't sweat it but that radiator looks like it's due for replacement (the top is discolored).

      My 2005 Radiator gave up the ghost at 220,000 miles. They used to be inexpensive repairs. Not any more.

      @@daviddru942 definitely not a $150 diy repair anymore but you can still save some money doing it yourself. might be a little time consuming on some vehicles but it could save you $500 in labor costs
