I wanted a Tundra to put in a pop up camper (4wheel camper type) and use as a baja truck but i ended up with a 2002 Sequoia 4wd. No regrets, its comforable to drive, has more than enough space for all my camping gear and surfboards, i can sleep comfortably inside, i love the awd option, the rear window and that i have so much space to put stuff in the front cabin although i do kind of hate the gas mialege but i knew what i was getting into when i bought it.
The 2009 sequoias quote 11,000lbs towing with 800lb tongue weight. Years before and after are much lower . The very new years i havent looked up. I owned a 2003 tundra with factory tow package, it quoted 7,800 lbs towing. I had to sell it after two years i couldnt afford the $675 payment. I still miss it.😢😢😢
The center diff lock also disables the traction control against sliding. For example when its off and your in 4 hi if you start sliding sliding it engages the brakes to straighten the vehicle. It also momentary cuts engine power. With the dif lock is on this feature is disabled, allowing drifting if desired. But more importantly not cutting power when in deep snow or mud.
It took me a year to figure out how to turn that damn traction off I accidentally found out by holding down too long on the differential lock. There's no instructions in the owner's manual I Googled and research forever and could not find it I've actually told people how to do it now and you were the very first person I ever heard share this you're about two years too late for me mr. LOL I don't know why they didn't put it in the manual
I'm actually lifting mine 3.5 in 35 by 12.5 by 17 tires and a total chaos suspension Lyft with new gears in the front and back with flared fenders it's going to cost me around 30 k I just paid two weeks ago 15K for them to get started ordering parts. It's going to be amazing it's a 2005 Toyota Sequoia limited Ash Gray I will be the first person to have flared fenders in the rear that were actually made for the Sequoia off-road company is working hand-in-hand with a fiberglass company that is making this Fender and I will be the first one to have it and they're going to use my vehicle to advertise it so now Sequoia will have their own flared fenders instead of having to borrow from the tundra that's why everybody has only gotten the front fenders flared and I have no idea why I just wrote you a big long-winded book LOL
@sqeekms -No problem with the mini novel, always great to get another's perspective. Sounds like your going to have a really cool rig when it's all done.
I had a Tundra with a camper but a Sequoia would be better because you can sleep in the back with emergency HVAC if needed. I’ve camped in too many times where the wind with take your tent airborne. Your gear stays cleaner too because the OEM door seals vs tailgate holes/camper seal letting in all that trail dust.
All men are guilty of sin. Repentance means to turn away from your sin. For example, if you are a liar you stop lying. Repenting is not just saying sorry, it is saying sorry and not continuing to do that sin. Sin is what separates us from God. God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins. Meaning Jesus took the punishment for our sins on the cross. If we believe on Jesus our sins can be washed away, and God will remember them no more. If we reject the son of God and continue in sin we will be under Gods wrath(hell fire). Repent today and believe on Jesus Christ, and recieve the free gift of eternal life.
Timing belt obviously, ball joints, and oil changes, and that sequoia will last you forever. Prices have gone up considerably. The rear hatch handle will break, not an if just when, easier to replace if you do it beforehand and replace it with a metal one. The front steering rack at 200k is a good bet. I have an 05 with 250k that is now my sons and expect to get at least an extra 200 out of it. The same drivetrain in my 07 470 and expect to keep that one forever, only 100k currently.
The Sequoia would make a better over lander for having a shorter wheelbase and the 4:10 gearing with better entry and departure angles. Down fall of the Sequoia is shes a thirsty girl lol 9 to 13 mpg is common.
Yeah, I've realized that depending on where you live, towing capacity limits can seem more or less meaningful. Here in Florida everything is flat but towing thru the mountains in other parts of the county is a different beast. I would never recommend towing above the rating because if anything goes wrong you can face the liability of negligence. If you watch what they do with Toyota trucks in 3rd world countries you start to understand that there is a wide gap between what you "can do" and what you "should do".
does the 03 sequoia rated to tow over 7k lbs by the manufacturer? If it doesn't then you are dabbling in the region where cops can put you in jail if you ended up in an accident while towing regardless of who is at fault.
My 2000 Tundra was 2nd year for 1st gen. You clearly have a 2nd gen. Tundra here. Way bigger. I Miss the size of the 1st gen. My current Tacoma is not the same as my 4.7 V8.
@@mytakamineis My 05 Sequoia came with a center console and cupholders in the rear seats. Same as shown here pictures-topspeed-com.cdn.ampproject.org/i/s/pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop_webp/200608/2006-toyota-sequoia-7_1600x0.webp
Most of these vehicles have had a recall for corrosion. Most vehicles where treated with a chemical to prevent rust, other vehicles with enough rust damage had the complete frames and springs replace by toyota. The Sequoias didn't suffer with rust nearly as bad as the rest of the trucks and 4 Runners. I have a 2007 with 300,000 miles and the frame looks brand new and is the orginal frame.
Are you looking on the inside or outside of your frame? Ever cracked a bad egg? I know a guy with a 2007 Sequoia that the frame is so bad it won’t pass inspection and it was bought new and only driven in the southern states
@@mytakamineis in 05-07 they put a bigger, stronger engine in them with a different transmission, also the rear end is different you guessed it right the drive shaft is also different. The transfer case is different, the CPU is different,the wiring harness is different the dash and cluster is different the bumper grill and hood is different the list goes on. The 01-04 are completely different and in my eyes that's why I believe the 05-07 is the 2nd gen and not to mention the 05-07 have that million Mile engine I believe the 05-07 is the best toyota they ever made.
Owner of both. Sequoia has bilstein 5100 with arb ome 2885 springs and 33” tires. Does great off-road. I still have to upgrade the tundra, but I’m hoping it handles just as well off-road as the sequoia. currently at 265k and 275k miles 🤙🏼🤙🏼
The 2nd gen was introduced in 2007, but 1st gen went thru some significant changes. Double Cab model was introduced in 2004 which has the full four doors and I think the body is actually a bit wider. Before that the only the standard cab and access cab where available.
@@yuvg_david failure points are the bladders. They will eventually leak. Mine did at 100k. The other thing is if you want a lift you have to convert/ modify the suspension. Also. No after market struts/coils for the front since they are different from the regular suspension. Other than that I love mine. It's a 2006 limited that I have had since new. I think I have 200k miles now.
Yes, the 4.7L engine has a timing belt. The only engine option for the Sequoia was the 4.7L but the Tundra did have a V6 option. For the 1st few years it was the 3.4L and then later the 4.0L. The 4.0L has a timing chain.
Timing belt with 100k service interval, also drives the water pump. Plenty of folks seem to go longer but the service isn’t horribly expensive. The air injection motors under the intake that die are the only thing to watch out for.

Small detail.... The 2UZFE is the actual million mile tundra engine in the 2008 which is the same engine in these 2 beauts.
Thanks.
I also have both vehicles and love it. Love the comparison. Sequoia should be better off road with shorter wheel base
Very cool! I'd like to see a comparisson between 1st and 2nd gen Sequoias 👍👍

It is a first gen Tundra but the double cab model which was bigger than the regular or access cab.
My 04 sequoia has a LSD? You said they didn’t do that on the sequoias??
Thanks guy. I strongly appreciate your review. For me this is the best I have ever viewed. The comparison is well done. Great job done. Keep well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A-TRAC sounds like a system that does the "2 foot" off road driving for you. It hits the brakes to stop wheel spin so you don't have to, right?
Nice comparison but ENOUGH with the cup holders 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks! Cup holders are essential! If you have more than 2 kids you understand the importance of this!

What roof rack/basket do you have there on the sequoia?
***SOLD***
Do these Tundras also come with the rear seat reclining seat, like the 2nd Gen Tundras do?
Thanks for the info. Big difference in rear suspensions too. How wide is the Sequoia’s back window?
I'm not sure how wide it is. I never thought to measure it. I'll have to get back to you on that.
@@mytakamineis Right on. I'd appreciate that!
How long is the bed on the double cabs

Are Toyota Tundras with 4.7 max tow package comes with 391 392 or 4:10 or 4:30 all those numbers are the same that will pull the same
Thanks for the feedback!
I have an 02 access cab I believe it's 3.90 rear
