- Today we're looking at a 2008, 2nd gen, Toyota Sequoia, with the 5.7 liter 3UR-FE. We'll see how it's aged, by taking a look at its interior and exterior design, performance figures, and long-term reliability.
Has the last 13 years been kind?

I have an ‘08 Limited and just hit 150k miles. Im a young guy, no kids or anything but bought the Sequoia to use as kind of a ‘work truck’ as I didn’t want a pickup. My girlfriend and I use it for camping, beach trips, and road trips. And its also perfect for me to haul wood and whatever projects I want to do. Not to mention its a tank in the snow and has been dead reliable all while being plenty luxurious for my needs. Highly recommend.
How much is lol it luo
Thank you so much Al Scott
because that’s exactly what I need it for ,ima contractor
I'm thinking of getting one as a "work truck".. any issues?
@@MrInternationalSound I have an 08 with over 199,000 miles and never had a major problem,there really SOLID trucks...
A year later and the truck is now at 200k miles (I drive a lot for work) and has literally not had a single issue. Just oil changes. Coming up on summer time and the A/C blows ice cold. Many road trips, beach trips, hauled a lot of stuff and it takes it like a champ. I can run the truck through the car wash real quick and its a clean, presentable truck ready to go on a date or out with friends. Highly recommend if you’re thinking about it
I think the Seqouia looks WAAAAY better than the Suburban or Expedition, both inside and out.
Agreed. Some of us LIKE curves. 😉
I have the 2008. Runs perfectly and heading towards 250,000 miles. Very quiet ride and minimal problems over the years. Most reliable vehicle I've had.
My 08 Limited has over 199,000 miles and no major problems over the years,I'll always own one...
Should i go for 4runner or this?
@@mercedesbenzs600bash My 2008 Sequoia has 260K+ miles and it's still going strong. No major issue, ever. I've driven it from Cincinnati to Denver, and back, twice in the last year, and no issues. On the highway it averages over 18 MPG if I drive the speed limit and don't have too much headwind. I also find the huge barcalounger front seats to be very comfortable for all-day driving. I like it so much that I'm looking for another lower mileage Gen 2 Sequoia to get me through the next 10 years, or so...
@reallybigair Yeah there great vehicles,I picked up a 2008 Limited 5.7L 2 years ago with 250,000+ miles,the drivers side view mirror just stopped working,the radio works but it doesn't flip open for CDs and I have a slight rear main seal leak,but overall their really great trucks...
@@mohammadraza2167 4 runner is a lot better on gas and just as reliable and durable...
Can’t complain with my 2010 limited 4WD. Still running great at 205K miles. Reliability with this car is a none issue.
Wifes 2010 has the same milage. We will keep it until it just does not make sense anymore. No issues to date.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Don't make the Sequoia look bad. You didn't follow the directions for shifting into 4wd low. Full stop, neutral, shift into 4 low, and wait for it to engage. Same thing when leaving 4 low. If you do it out of order it beeps at you so as not to ruin the world best automobile. It's kind of like a baby crying because you put it's diaper on backwards
Lol
Once a month you should shift into 4 low to keep the solenoid free. Any 4RUNNER or Sequoia owner knows that.🙄
Yes perfect..
Also, to disengage you may roll the vehicle back a few feet to help disengagement.
How do you know when it's finished engaging? Does it indicate on cluster?
@@markunion9156 I believe it blinks until it's done
I'm the original owner of a 2008 Limited 2WD with over 200K. This thing has been absolutely bullet proof. The interior leather still looks almost new. I take this thing offroad on dirt roads for hunting & fishing. Because of the room we usually take this for long roadtrips (wife's BMW stays home). No creaks or sqeaks, just rock solid. The ONLY reason I'm considering replacing her is that the paint is garbage and the wife says I'm crazy to spend $5k on a nice paint job. Probably going to keep it and get something economical for day to day. Love this thing.
We just bought a 2019 platinum 2wd. We traded in an ‘18 sienna for the ‘19 sequoia. Let me just say I love the power train. The classic 5.7L V8 is an absolute beast. What isn’t is the gas mileage. If I drive conservatively I can get 19 mpg highway, which I find impressive with this large engine and vehicle weight. I towed my small cargo trailer the other day and didn’t even notice it back there. I really don’t mind the “outdated” look honestly. I really am a fan of reliability, which is the ultimate factor in our decision.
RELIABILITY IS EVERYTHING....
This is essentially how I feel about my 2017 limited. Including highway gas mileage and towing.
Buy one of these every 12 years or a new suburban every 4. 🤔
Yeah, I am at that crossroad. 2008 is still solid. But 2021 is probably the last year for a real bulletproof, NON-Turbo, Non EnviroCrapulated, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, Tundra, or Lx570. May have to jump on either another Sequoia or LX570 this year.
@@saturnfire I read somewhere that said 2022 will be the last model with 5.7L
Absolutely…. 2021 Sequoia Platinum 4WD here
@@saturnfire I bought the 2021 limited nightshade since only 2500 made and also last of the best v8s. I will never worry about this when I travel. I worry with any other car.
@@saturnfire 2021 TRD Pro in my driveway for exactly this reason
I have a 2002 version with 315k miles. I've replaced some age-related stuff on it, but overall very pleased with reliability and comfort. Very confident in snow/rough/unpaved roads in my area.
My 2003 starts and runs like new with 250k
What about the exhaust leaks in the 01-07 sequoia? I heard they all are bad
For my money, the Sequoia bloated, outdated, and gas guzzler that it is, is THE best SUV on the road. Rented one for a long weekend in Atlanta in 2019. Yes, the Tahoe, Ford Explorer, and Jeep Grand Cherokee "look" better, but that's where it begins and ends.
In driving on the highway and in the city, with the air conditioner on, I did not measure the gas mileage, however, I did not think it was horrible (given that it's 8 passenger vehicle with a 5.7 liter V-8). It was an absolute pleasure to drive. Had no problems navigating downtown Atlanta.
Maintain a Sequoia and you should get (at least) 300,000 trouble-free miles. I like to keep my vehicles for 10+ years. I'm at an age where if I picked up a gently used 2019 or 2020 in a few years, it should last me the rest of my life.
Yes! Agreed! 😊
2011 Platinum with 175,000 miles that runs perfectly. I love the Sequoia.
I've owned a Chevy Blazer, Ford Expedition and now I'm on my 3rd Toyota Sequoia. First sequoia was an 04, I had 225k on her and she was still running strong. It was vandalized and totaled but my friend bought it from me for 4k. I then bought a 2014 sequoia platinum and was blown away by the luxury. Blizzard pearl white with red rock leather interior. It was beautiful!
Well some kid ran a red and totaled that out but that beast of an SUV kept me safe. So I bought another one! A 2015 Pyrite mica and with the red rock interior.
In my opinion, good looks, comfort and reliability of any vehicle on the road today.
I love the Red Rock interior. However, I prefer the 8 passenger seating option with the bench second row seat. I haven't seen a single 8 passenger model with Red Rock interior. Wonder if it was even an option?
My 2010 (new to me) still purrs like new with 109k miles, looking forward to putting a few hundred more
if you got the 5.7L then make sure you check for cam tower leak. That is the only negative thing about the 5.7L beside horrible gas mileage.
Mine is 2010 limited 4wd with 205k mileage and still running good.
Daaang! You found a baby!! #SoFreshandSoClean
My 08 sequoia platinum about to join the 200k club! To celebrate I just ordered a 2.5 lift and just got my wheels 2 days ago 💪
My 2010 Platinum is a tank !
We love it !
Never an issue with it.
Feb 28, 2022: Your review encourage my decision to buy a used 2008 Toyota Sequoia SR5. I bought the 2-day cooling off contract so I could take it to my mechanic to examine and test drive. I'm anxious right now, waiting for the final result of mechanic's exam and test drive. Will update when I learn the results.
Update?
Just picked up a 2015 Limited! LOVE IT!!
Sequoias with a 2 inch lift, some 30 inch tires, look fucking awesome.
It's comes with 33s. I think you meant 35s!!!
We just traded our 2011 sequoia limited in, has 225k miles, and still solid as ever. Only problem we had was the fuel pump went out at 200k, and had to have valve cover gaskets replaced at 210k, nothing else ever. It was using more oil between changes even though no smoking or leaking, but I would still trust it to drive coast to coast. My wife just wanted to downsize a bit...
We have 08 Sequoia with 140k miles and 12 Tundra 4x4 with 99k miles . Both have been great with no issues whatsoever . We replaced the brakes and rotors once on each vehicle and regular oil change. You might spend more on gas but you have reliable, durable and trouble free car.
Really wonderful overview. I’m checking one of these out today.
Just bought a 2010 to haul our camper. Sounds like I made the right choice.
In June 2022, I drove solo in a 2008 SRF on the Dempster Hwy, from Galveston, TX, to the Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyaktuk, NT, for the Summer Solstice. The Sequoia performed like a trooper. Only two problems - malfunctioning of the tailgate latch and the 4WD/ABS sensor.
Thanks for the video. Nice to see a reviewer have fun. Love the attitude.
2008 with 242,000, super reliable, clean and rattle free. New tie rods at last tire change and alignment, radio AUX switch needs to be replaced, that’s about it. Just took it to Colorado on a 2,000 mile drive from Indiana- love it to death!
Ha! Our aux input went out too on our 08 platinum. We put a new JVC 10.2" android auto/apple car play infotainment head unit in it. This is a must to make the dated radio/nav feel like we are in a new vehicle. Love the sequoia. +200,000mi. 💪🏻
The most entertaining car review ever 😭 subscribed 👍🏼
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This review was hilarious and useful as someone who’s looking to buy one of these soon. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the comment! And no prob
I own a 2010 Sequoia limited. Bought it new and still going strong. Zero issues. Yes frame rust. Yes paint fading. But it’s a reliable beast and does the job headache free. Just crossed 100K miles last week. Not selling it. Good video.
Great vid. Thanks for the intel. 👍
You’re welcome, glad you liked it!
Excellent. How do you not have a larger regular audience. I think you'd be a more entertaining car reviewer than most of the people on UA-cam. Good luck in the future
Hey, thanks Damacio, I can’t express how much I appreciate that. I’ll keep it up and see where it leads. Thanks again!
Love the quality of your vids man! Good job:)
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
I just bought a Sequoia 2013 limited. I love this truck .
They are certainly beasts, glad you love it!!
My 2008 Limited Sequoia has over 211,000 miles on it and it still practically drives like it's brand new! Also I tow a 35 foot RV Travel Trailer that weights every bit of 9000 lbs. and this truck has zero issues pulling it, unlike the Ford Expedition's I've always owned.
I agree, bloated is a good word to describe the looks lol. I also prefer the boxy 'murican styling of the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon and Expedition. But these are quality vehicles (also hot damn, that 6.6 second 0-60 time is impressive). Great review brotha
Thanks Mike! Yeah man, the 1st gen sequoia looked pretty good, and it still does, but the 2nd gen is pudgy. 6.6 seconds is solid, especially for a 3 ton rig.
And at top speeds of 115mph its a damn beast i love my 2008 with 213k miles
Yeah, it's pudgy. I'll admit it. But when you're sitting in the second row of that thing for a road trip, you're glad for the extra space afforded by the wider, taller body of the gen 2. I have one of each, and while I do prefer to drive the Gen one, you can't beat the awesome space available in the second row of the Gen 2.
6.6 and in 4-Hi still, lol
My 2001 sequoia is 358k dry no leaks runs like a champ 4wd
Good video. Glad you went over the known problems. I picked up a 2014 SR5 in March of 2019 with 113,000 miles. Living in Michigan, I flew out to California to buy it. After a year of research, I found that I would pay about the same for a vehicle with or without rust. And driving it home 2,000 miles only cost me about $300 in gas. I did have a problem with the 4L on my way home. On my way out of the hotel parking lot, without even selecting it, 4L started flashing on the dash. And this happened a couple of times when the early mornings were below freezing. It hasn't happened since. And I regularly drive it in 4L for about 10 miles just to keep things lubricated. The next issue, that you mentioned, is the loud ticking noise from the engine. It doesn't necessarily do it on the first start up on cold days. I'll have driven it 3 miles to the store, shut down, start back up 20 minutes later, and it starts clacking. I thought it was the big rig near me the first time! You know how diesels clack. One last problem is that the middle row, passenger side seat will not tip partially and slide forward. It'll only fold completely and slide. Not a big deal. Some day I'll get into it and fix it. I do use it for towing a large utility trailer, and have towed a small camping trailer, and hardly know anything is back there! And I love being able to say,"Yes! We can all fit.", when there are 7 others to take somewhere. I have 126,000 miles on it now.
Thank you for sharing your Sequoia experience! I’m hoping that the ticking won’t cause any residual damages, like cylinder scoring. It sounds like the Sequoia is a perfect fit for your lifestyle!
@@NotSoHandyCarGuy Me too! On the ticking. So far, in the 13,000 miles I've had it, it's only done it about half-a-dozen times. I heard that it may be the oil. Read that if I use Toyota's oil. I use a name brand oil. I just don't understand it completely yet. Beyond that, the one other thing I don't like is that I can't fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back! Got a 4x8 sheet of 2-inch foam the other week. Had to push the front seats nearly all the way up, and put the sheet in at an angle, resting it on top of the front seat backs. Only then could I close the hatch. I could probably have rolled down the rear window and had it resting on the bottom of the window frame. But it was cold out! Next time I'll try that.
Have an 04 with 278,000 miles. No issues. Can't beat em.
Matt you could review a 12 year old pull out couch and I would still watch it. I love your personality and humor, it feels like we're hanging out. Another banger of a video my man
It’s funny you should say that, because next on my list is an 18 year old pull out couch that has definitely never seen any pullouts, if you catch my drift. 😳 I appreciate it, Chris Young! Gas me up man!!
@@NotSoHandyCarGuy hahaha I look forward to it!!!
Looking at a family hauler. This was a great, informative, and entertaining review! One more thing...
... you forgot your tripod.
First time video view for me, very nice review!
Thank you, I appreciate that!!
I kinda forgot about this vehicle. Thanks for reminding us about it ! Great honest review as always !!
No prob Sam B! That’s what I’m here for. Thank you!!
🙄 If you question Toyota Reliability at this point you are in denial, Toyota builds the most dependable rugged vehicles in the world hands down !!!! My 1993 Toyota Landcruiser had 700,000 km on the odometer when I sold it 10 years ago. The current owner tells me it is still running strong !! And to make the case even stronger it has spent the last 20 years in the Arctic above the tree line !! Never had to plug it in even when the temperature was minus 40 degrees celcius!! She always started with one crank of the motor ! My experience with other toyota vehicles has been very similar though I'd have to say the series 80 Landcruiser is the toughest of them all !
I own a small daycare. Use it to fit all the kids. For gas, especially now- it’s scary lol 😂 but it fits SO well when road tripping and moving furniture etc. I love her. Safe, reliable as hell, comfortable, spacious.
For me the relibility toyota has especially the 1st gen sequoias beat any suv out there by a long shot
unless the frame rots in half.
@@Rob-tl9md blame dana for not properly galvanized process chassis
We a a 2008, 86k miles...still a tank. Original owner. No rust...in Texas. But eats tires and gas like crazy...all good I work for an oil company. Reliability and safety is our priorities.
That is American Hateration at it is best... I have owned Dodge, Lincoln Nav, and Suburban... Had all kinds of problems with them... I have a Tundra now and Sequoia both 2013... They are the truth so far... Not one problem from my Toyota's... For reliably nothing American comes close...
::laughs in land cruiser:: But seriously - Toyota isn’t on the bleeding edge of updating its models, tech etc and I don’t care. They make products that last and keep their value - which I care more about. Personally I want a stripped down 200 series from overseas. I don’t care for any of the integrated tech so many car manufacturers are going for. It’s outdated after they put it in. I’d rather just upgrade it myself from crutchfield every now and again.
My mother's 2012 toyota sequoia platinum has over 225k miles. They're built tough.
@Snake Plissken she's a real estate agents and sells within 3 different states. She's out and about nearly every day. Also, we go to Florida around 2 or 3 times a year. So it's possible buddy.
@Snake Plissken also think about how there's a 2007 tundra with over 1,000,000 miles. That guy had to drive atleast 76,000 miles a year.
@Snake Plissken I'm saying that it's possible to have that kind of mileage when you show houses between 3 different states daily. I don't get why that's so hard to comprehend.
Our 2008 Limited is rock solid with 175k on the clock....3 kids...plenty of room. Now if someone can help us fix the radio & camera blackout.I hear its common. Thanks for the video!
this is the most entertaining car review i've ever seen 🤣🤣😩🙌🏽
4:07 Trypophobia! This is brilliant! I watched this video a few weeks ago and thought it was hilarious, but it randomly pops into my head and I find myself laughing about it. Keep it coming!
Hahaha thanks man!! Appreciate the support. Will do!
UPDATE about purchasing a 2008 Toyota Sequoia SR5, with a bit over 142,000 miles on it. I bought it. I did a lot of research online for the same year model and found many at higher prices with higher mileage. The car I bought had the optional rear camera. The primary concern for me, at a height of 4 ft 9 inches and sort of short legs, was whether I'd be able to sit in it comfortably and be able to see over the steering wheel and hood as well as being able to comfortably reach the pedals. Good thing I fit in it.....being a Japanese company, I think they made ample adjustments so short Asians like me would be able to drive this big SUV. As you mention in your video, the visibility all around is excellent. As I mentioned previously, we paid an extra $250 to the dealership for a 2-day "cooling off" period. Under California law, car sellers can offer that non-refundable option to their customers. Lexus of Marin offered us this 2-day "cooling period" contract. I decided the $250 "cooling off" fee was worth the money. Fortunately, our personal mechanic who spent the better part of his day inspecting this vehicle and test driving it on the highway and in city traffic, told us it was a good buy. Additionally, without my asking, and at no additonal charge to the original advertized price, the dealership replaced the old radio console with a brand new touch screen Pioneer DMH WT7600NEX RDS AV Receiver Auto Radio Multimedia RDS AV Recptor RDS. Plus they replaced the old spare tire with a brand new regular size tire. I like that the spare is easily accessible under the rear of this car. I don't mind the low gas per milage usage. I don't drive great distances and I don't drive every day. I really like the height I enjoy sitting above most of the rest of traffic and the perceived safety of the amount of metal around me. The ride is very comfortable. I won't need all of the seating. Most of the cargo space will be filled with the dog crates of my large Mastiff and a slightly smaller Pit Bull-Boxer mix. Thanks again for you very thorough , enjoyable and humorous video. You should make more. with the prices of cars today and the future, more people are looking to purchase used cars. Your video helped me tremendously.
of course this car aged well, it didn’t change for 13 years!
Nice work.
I like the look of it.. And how reliable they are. I like the newer models as well. I dont like small vehicles anymore.
Out of curiousity why don't you like small cars anymore? I have a mid size SUV but was kind of thinking of going smaller as easiter to wash, park on street etc. Let me know your view point because I myself am still pondering.
I have an 02 with 225k, it is by far the best truck/suv I’ve owned, I’ve towed towed cars, trailers and it’s never left me stranded.
love this review
🙏🏼
Love your videos! Just curious if you could offer up some of the alternatives to the Sequoia that you mentioned at the end of the video. Would love to see more on Sequoias and the 4th Gen 4Runner! :)
Thank you, thank you! I’d say it really depends on what your needs are. The direct alternatives are those like the Suburban, Expedition, and Armada. The sequoia is a great choice for seating, towing and reliability. But it’s a LOT of vehicle. And if you don’t have to tow as much, there’s some crossover-type vehicles that are probably better suited for you, like the highlander, Honda Passport, and Kia telluride (which technically isn’t a crossover, but I’ll include it in this category anyhow). There’s definitely going to be more on the T4R!!
I’ve been looking for one for a couple of months now!… I wish I bought this vehicle a few years ago!..
Dig the info but hilarious,much love 😂 I was about to tell my gf I got a new car guy on here to watch videos about cars 🤣
my 2008 seqouia still drives like new. four-wheel independent suspensions, very comfortable for long drives and spacious. made in the usa!!!
My 4Runner is 100% Japanese made. Actually I don’t think it matters where it’s built with Toyota
@@CarnutMM yeah i have 4runner also 100% Japan made but we are talking about seqouia in this video.
magnifico tu video muy adecuado gracias
Regarding rear wiper intermittently not working: The issue is often that the retractable rear window is not fully closed. There is a sensor switch on the window regulator that senses if the window is open/closed. If open, even a tiny bit, the rear wiper and defogger will not function. The rear window switch is right by your right knee when seated in the driver's seat. It's easy to bump the switch just a tad and not know it. If your rear wiper and defogger are not working, be sure to click up on the rear window switch to insure it is fully closed.
Take a bath hippy, had a 2015 4Runner from till 2020, them moved up to Sequoia(2017 used 32K), God dam the power booted from that 5.7 amazing. 3 kids and need the extra room, they grow so fast. Looking forward to a gen 3 Sequoia, but keep that powerful engine, thanks for review.
😂 for sure! I’m on my second 4th gen 4Runner right now. The first had the v6 and now we have the 2uz-fe v8. The low end torque is fantastic, and it’s the quickest 4runner ever made. Glad you like the Sequoia 👍🏼
2021 I have limited nightshade. Looks same but lots of great new safety features and comfort..
have 2008 Limited with 170K love the vehicle, maintained continuously great road trip vehicle.
That was really entertaining, well done. Do you want me to send Savage your resume or have you done that already?
…and That is an insane amount of corrosion on the cross member and control arms for what looks like an otherwise solid vehicle
Found this after buying a 1st gen sequoia and searching some stuff about it, UA-cam algorithm I guess, but this is hilarious! Good review!
Also wtf are your shoes haha
I love the 1st gen Sequoia! A little more than the 2nd gen. Thanks man. 😂 they are Puma Driftcats, driving shoes. Very comfortable to feel the clutch in.
Love my Sequoia!! 2011 limited!! Platinum!! 130k ..love love love!!
Can you do 2008 or a 2013 Land Cruiser reliability video? Love your stuff, thanks!!!
I can certainly try to get my hands on one! Thanks for watching!
143,000 miles on my 2010 Platinum this week and ZERO issues.
I'm getting one at over 143k miles.. trading a tundra 08 at 198k miles..
Looking at a used 4Runner or Sequoia and came across your review for the 4Runner first and onto to this. Marc Anthony's Pizza and the gone but not forgotten Lindseys's came to mind when you were driving over the bridge. lol
I have a 2007 Tundra
It has aged gracefully and been very reliable for 76,000 miles
Let me know the day you want to trade in for an upgrade in years. Ill buy it.
Have had the 2010 model for around 7 years and barely had to do any repairs.
Good video. Keep improving...my cat walked across the keyboard earlier...my apologies
I have about 150K on my 2008 which I had bought brand new. Just did the valve cover/spark plug seals myself. Took all day but hopefully it’ll last another 13 years. Also swapped the shocks to Bilstein 5100 which raised the front about an inch so I had to install a 1” leveling kit in the rear. Definitely going to drive it into the ground. I’m 6’ tall and we’ve slept in the back a few times. Really comfy with a sleeping pad. Plenty of room. And definitely do the diff fluid. Mine, I neglected until about 120K and the magnetic plug had all kinds of shavings on it.
My 2010 Platinum 4wd does well at 287k. Previous owner left me with some maintenance neglect, but i brought it back and its a beast. Trading for a newer one soon, as this one is not a 10k tower. So might as well.
what is a 10k tower??
My 08 sequoia has 246,428 miles as of today. Zero problems.
I am sold. Subscribing. You need (deserve) more subscribers
Shaboom 😊
the underrated 6 second elephant
I'm looking at 2010 I'm obsessed w it
I'm currently looking for a 2008 Sequoia and I discounted just about everything this guy had to say. Mainly because people who actually own them are very pleased with them.
I like the aesthetics of it, reminds me of beefy medium duty trucks, but a mini version
Besides the powertrain being reliable notice how everything still works and isn’t cracked or broken on the interior!
I own a 2011 platinum with 210,000 miles. Planning on driving it for another 10 years. May be converting to a more overland vehicle. But the family and I enjoyed this vehicle.
I hit subscribe because it helped me, I might buy a sequoia tomorrow… maybe… I dunno though. But this helped.
I appreciate that, and glad it helped. Every car has its drawbacks, and the Sequoia is still a great vehicle.
What about the 4.7 litre v8? Does it have the same reliability? I should of added, great video, funny and informative, I enjoyed watching.
The 2UZ-FE is a great engine! Only thing is that the exhaust manifolds tend to crack after a while. I’d imagine it would be slightly underpowered for the big sequoia, though.
My 08 Sequoia crossed the 555,555 Km mark. Original engine and tranny, drives like it's new. Oil and maintenance. WOW!
Here’s a proper review
Zero ball joints in 250000 miles, zero starter or alternator replacement. Zero broken interior panels, switches or anything else. The doors still close great, the paint is ok, the ac has worked over 20 years
So Toyota Sequoia 2000s all the way. Only water pump and timing belt, otherwise you’re good for 500,000 miles not kilometers. On the original starter to boot.
You’re right, that was a proper review.
Haha you are funny, crack me up. Good video 👍
I had the 2001 sequoia and I like the first shape better but I’ve been thinking about getting a 2008 and up.
2008 Sequoia Limited with over 199,000 miles,no major problems at all,I'll always own one..
I've got a 2008 4wd sequoia with 400000 thousand on it we tow a 24 ft trailer with it usual maintenance still running strong best car I've ever owned
Dont need all the seat room.. but am a huge wide guy. What else to you recommend thats comfy and huge inside ?
Take it around the track dad (minute 17:31) had me laughing! Nice!
So glad I purchased the 2nd generation Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro simply the best
Have had a 2008 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4WD since ‘09. 250k miles and going. We drive a 1Mile dirt road 4-6x/day, and we drive it hard!
Finally upgraded to Bilstein 6100s in the front, 5100 in the back. BIg difference! Shopping for another used Sequoia soon!
I had an isuzu that was used only for soccer mom stuff. It was 4x4 and was hard to get in and out of 4 wheel until I used it more often. Common issue across all 4 wheel drive's.
I own 2008 toyota sequoia limited for 3 yrs the only suv I considered best I own the only suv never left me stranded
i know this is gonna sound stupid asking but since i dont have one yet can i ask what is the LxWxH with a flat with the seats laid down may i ask ?
I luv Sequoias! But then I like big cars lol I luv how spacious it is and still a traditional SUV, none of the crossover nonsense that’s so popular right now
I'm a Toyota MDT, when he said Toyota waits then perfects it is a "secret" most people don't know. Toyota let's everyone else try new tech while they are all in the dealer for warranty repairs, Toyota waits to see the problems then releases their product knowing it will work. Good review man!!!!!
