  • 9 months ago we purchased a 2007 Toyota Sequoia 4x4 SR5 with about 225,000 miles on it with the expectation that it would prove to be a reliable companion despite the incredibly high miles. It has not disappointed us and has proved to be a loyal overland vehicle for many road trips and camping trips.

    2007 SR5 4wd leather seats. I got it at 143000 miles and now at 174000, never failed to move nor start in this cold weather in North Dakota (-45°f) no block heater.

    My 2007 V8 4Runner has 506,000 miles on it (I was a catastrophe insurance adjuster so those miles are a lot of city driving in the south during the summer and that doesn't include countless hours idling in insured's driveways while writing up claims). I bought it new in 2006 and it's been paid off for over ten years. No rust no leaks.
    In my experience, there are a handful of things that help a vehicle last a long time.
    1. start with good engineering. Compared to the new Ford and Dodge trucks I've owned, the 4Runner doesn't have weird rattles after 12,000 miles. Still doesn't rattle.
    2. always always always keep up with routine maintenance - If it's time to replace the water pump, etc... just do it.
    3. learn what components will typically go out and replace those early as preventative maintenance - aka like the radiator before it becomes a problem.
    4. drive like my grandma - don't speed, accelerate fast, or brake hard (unless you must). Offroad driving isn't kind to any vehicle either (sure is fun tho). Treat this thing like it's new, even when it's not.
    I think a lot of vehicles besides Toyotas can last a long time if they're taken care of. There's a conventional wisdom out there that high mileage vehicles are junk.. there's certainly truth to that. But I was somebody who always bought a brand new vehicle every two years before this 4Runner and I can tell you that even though I've had to replace expensive things like the AC system a couple of years ago, I've saved tens of thousands of dollars over the years in car payments and finance charges by just taking care of a paid off vehicle.
    All that money I'm saving will one day get me an electric self-driving flying Land Cruiser.

It has 220,000 currently got it for $1,500 (lucky) took it to get new Michelin Tires then to the Dealership (Stealership) to get the Timing Belt, water pump, belt tensioner, serpentine belt and idler pulley. Asked the dealership if it had any records and turns out it had 92 pages of documented maintenance and 1 owner!

Finally, I stopped being ridiculous with multiple cars (I’m only one person & really only need one vehicle) now it’s just the Sequoia for me and I have no regrets at all. 😍 Wishing you both the best. 💝

    I have an 04 Limited with 270,000 miles on it. I’ve upgraded the brakes to slotted/drilled/zinc plated rotors and upgraded pads, installed stainless lines, new calipers and master cylinder. Replaced the stereo with a touchscreen Apple CarPlay unit with backup camera. Replaced the amplifier and all speakers and added a 12 inch subwoofer. Had a split bumper cover repaired and the bodywork taken care of. Fresh factory dark green paint added. Installed new satin bronze aftermarket wheels and new Michelin tires, and converted all the interior/exterior lights to LED. It runs GREAT and I absolutely love it !!! The only thing it doesn’t do well is pass a gas station 🤣
    I drive fairly average but tend towards aggressive with braking and acceleration. I’m religious about maintenance and use Amsoil full synthetic oil. The only unscheduled failure I’ve had through all these years and miles is the battery. They’ll be prying the keys to my “LandCrab” out of my cold dead hands !!!!

    mine has 245k on it. Bought it with 138K from a used car lot. We went to look and i saw it in the back covered in dust (hadn't even been placed on the lot yet) Your video is accurate as far as parts needing replaced at our mileage. I will be replacing the whole exhaust system ( i needed a new o2 sensoand the stock exhaust is pretty rusty) I replaced the radiator as well as the stock one finally cracked. I will also be replacing the two front axles and both upper and lower ball joints (due to mileage. Currently runs fine). I charged the ac system once, replaced my valve cover gaskets. I also need to replace the timing belt. I also replaced the rear latch handle and locking system and the front driver side door locking mechanism and new cable. Other than the usual maintenance stuff, our vehicles are super solid and very underrated! throughout the seasons other than winter, i scrub out the engine on a regular basis with simple green and brushes from dollar tree (best place i have found for engine cleaning supplies) I also sprayed the bottom of the vehicle with a rust preventer and i also scrub out all of the suspension components. Trying to get mine to 500k miles!! Currently 04 with a 3 inch lift and i have the same wheels coming that i commented on in one of your videos (Fuel AMMO 17x9 with a -12 offset) i also run the spidertraxx wheels spacers (1.25 inch) and i use BFG KO2's. I am also a fan of 1st genoffroad that you mentioned in a previous video. I had it in a shop ONCE and the manager was underneath the car for w/e reason (later found out why, the tech ha called him over) he comes over to me and asked me if i had dropped a new motor in it and i said, "no" then he asked me, "how in the hell do you keep everything so clean with that amount of miles on it?" I told him i bought it with 138K and just take care of it.

    I just got one with 240k. It was beaten on, but is still a great vehicle. All components of the rear hatch are toast. The power lock actuator had broke in the locked position, the cable was seized, and the handle was broken! Really all from a simple lack of lubrication. It will need upstream O2 sensors due to the heating elements failing. But it runs like new and drives great. I got mine cheap and plan to bring its condition up to a higher level. I plan on keeping this one for a long while. FYI, my sunroof worked, but was slow. I opened it and put white lithium grease on the track and it was twice as fast. If your drivers window is slower than the others, lube the track with the same and you will save the motor. In fact, lube them all. Especially lube the hatch window tracks. The handles are a common failure point, and if your window stops working too it will be a huge headache. These things are built like a tank. Enjoy

    Got an 08, first year of the 2nd Gen and just crossed 555,555. We use it as the farm truck. Stock hauling. Bale dragging. We get into conversations with the neighbors who are bragging to each other that they're only on their second engine or third transmission and more than 250,000. When I tell them we've never done anything to the engine or tranny other than change the oil, they're mouths hang. So far, the major work we've done was after 450,000 ... Main seal. Rear bearings, radiator, rear window motor and assembly, rear latch, squirell cage fan for blowing heat, a cracked injector, a couple set of spark plugs, bunch of oil changes and brake pads, rotors and winshields but that's it. Everything else works. The sunroof and all power windows, latches, mirrors, seats, entertainment system. It's on the original muffler and though worn, the driver seat leather isn't even torn. They're not fuel efficient but that truck has brought me home through some of the worst storms imaginable-every time. Power, control, luxury ride and reliability like no oher vehicle I know. I creamed a deer one night on the right side, $10,000 damage and the only fluid that leaked was the winshield washer. It drove home straight and another 200 miles back to town to get fixed. Best truck Ever!

    Just bought my 02 sequoia and I also have the same experience of the sunroof not operating, it tries to pop it up on the left button but doesn't, and the retract button doesn't do anything. Only problems I have with it are as follows: mold inside due to it sitting for awhile in our lovely oregon environment, front brakes need to be done, driver's side rear door doesn't fully unlock unless you do it manually (might be as simple as a bushing needing tweaked), cracked windshield, and a o2 sensor needs a look at because it comes up o2 sensor heater error on the obd check. Overall it is very strong, get the same fuel mileage as my Jeep liberty that the yota is replacing for my main rig, and is very roomy (very limited room in the Jeep, a buddies dad agrees with the lack of space in the liberties as they have one as well). Getting the brakes sorted out this weekend, putting on studded snow tires as well, getting it detailed on the interior next Tuesday, and over all for what I paid for it I have something that will last another 750k+ miles (has 260k right now).

    My '02 has 315k miles and has one squeak from the sunroof when it's open. Everything works. Unleaded Anonymous meetings are the only penalty owning this rig. Little things go bad, but they are easy to fix. Mostly just age and maintenance items. Mine was smoke + dog. Took me three days to vacuum it.

    Toyotas will keep running, but 250,000 mile vehicles still need to have all the maintenance up to date, and the maintenance can add up. The benefit to Toyota is that it is worth the work and money to keep putting money into it to. I think in 1995-2005 was where Toyotas build quality peaked (1G Tundra & 1G Sequoia just seem more solid compared to my 2nd gen Tacoma). Our previous 2005 Sequoia was a great family vehicle for 4 years, the wife liked driving it, bought at 187k miles, I had to keep catching up the maintenance. Hoping to pick up a 2004 Seq in a few days, very excited!

    Rented a Sequoia last year for a long weekend down in Georgia. LOVED the thing! Even with combination city/highway driving and running the air conditioner, I did not find the gas mileage to be too bad (for a vehicle this size).
    I live in a more densely populated city/state, so not as practical for parking and whatnot here, but I had absolutely zero complaints about the Sequoia.

    My brother had a 2002 Toyota Sequoia 4x4. The big two issues he had with it was the engine computer, and it was replaced by the dealer for free under warranty. The second issue was with transmission after 120K miles. It was replaced by AAMCO, but I believed he was ripped off. My brother is terrible at vehicle maintenance, and it likely only needed a complete service. We used his Sequoia for hunting and camping. He traded it in to buy 4Runner.

    So far I’ve replaced the intermediate shaft and cleaned the abs sensors. Other than that the engine still sounds super healthy and super comfy ride on the highway. Electronics work fine, I want to do some small trails with it and overlanding
    But when you live in Chicago you’ll be overlanding at Costco parking lots..............
