Picked up 06 Sequoia 4WD it's been six months and driven 10,000 miles and I absolutely love it.

Just bought my 2001 with 140k miles. Amazing truck I can’t believe how slept on it is…. Helps out people like me who can get in one for cheap!

Your exactly on point with everything! My son recently bought a 2007 Sequoia and had all service records from the Toyota dealership and I pulled them up. Toyota did this right being able to get the original owners service if. Great torque from the start like you said. Had to take it home on the expressway and it drove effortlessly. Like a new Sequoia. No oil drips or leaks. Has 193,000 on it and oil is almost clear when n it’s time for a oil change! Totally happy with it

Great to see the Sequoia again! These are great trucks. Funny you mentioned the timing belt: I'm having it done on my 2000 Land Cruiser on Wednesday. First time! 173k miles and 22 years on the same belt. The 4,7 2UZ-FE engine is unbelievable. I go 8,000 miles without burning a drop of oil!

I honestly love how excited you are

I love how excited you are of this truck! I would be excited too! 👍

I have a 2002 Sequoia SR5 4wd that came with leather seats. All the badging is gold. It has 269k on it and the timing belt has been changed 3 times. Everything works on it, even the sunroof, the rear window and the lift gate latch. I bought it in 2016 for $3k and it had 213k on it. I had to do some maintenance to it, but it is bulletproof.

I have had my 03 SR5 for 17 years, never an issue with the exception of the hatch handle. Replaced that with the small metal handle that eliminates the cable. Besides the timing belt, always check your upper and especially lower ball joints, they had some issues early on. Other than that, almost 300 K and no problems at all. I do my own maintenance, one of the simplest trucks to service.

Dude so my father gave me this truck today for a Christmas present, I didn’t even ask for a car cause I work remotely, and I barely drive, now I gotta pay him back lmfaooo. But I am grateful, and I was curious if you can do a tutorial on the high and low 4 wheel drive clutch and how to use it? There is also a 4wd button on the dash board and was curious what’s the difference? Appreciate, I also loved the fact that there is lots of handles.

Change the oil it always looks clean on the dip stick but once you drain it its super black in the pan

picked up a 01 sequoia 3 months ago. It's the best vehicle I have ever owned.

I love my 2 sequoias 2001 and 2013 sr5, he speaks the truth

I can confirm that the 1st gen Sequoia can get passed 300k. Mine is currently sitting at 304000. Waiting to replace all 4 wheel bearings (it is expensive).

I’ll give everyone a secret. That block was originally supposed to be used for a small aircraft engine. That’s why they never have any issues. Absolutely nothing. I learned this from a Tech that came to the dealership I worked at for 14 yrs , he was from the Japan plant yakusaki.

Never go 10K between oil changes. There is zero reason for doing that

Fantastic video, do you put the Land Cruiser. 200 series or even the 100 series on the same reliability scale as this one? I am seriously considering buying a used Sequoia with 200,000 miles. I’m just wondering how much money I will need to bring it up to sound mechanical drivability? What are your thoughts?

The rusty frame issues was mostly from Suv from coastal areas. Especially from the northeast region they use a lot of salt on roads.

Great video, so what's your opinion of a 2006 Sequoia 4x4 for 3500 in South Central Texas ..??

I have a 04 SR5 with leather heated seats , they called it the sport edition has 215000 miles, payed 5500 4 yrs ago id go cross county in a minute if needed

Toyota made an update for rear latch they were made of plastic. Now made with a steel bracket that’s going back to 2011

Hey . I have a 02 limited . I have the vsc trac lights on but no check engine . Any trouble shooting tips other then gas cap ? And how does that affect the traction being it’s off

Did you have to put a lift to fit the 265/70/r17's? If not, is there any rubbing?

Im looking at a 01 for like 8k with 147k miles thinking if a good buy or not. Replacing my 01 suburban damn engine seized

I bought a 2001 with 152,000 miles from my buddy . Paid $7k oh and it's a 4x4 limited

does this truck have airbags in the rear as shocks?

I take it you removed the side steps? Like you said yours is a bit rough but so what? Like the color and the wheels. If your keeping it maybe think about a paint job? Got my 2004 4WD SR5 for $4000 in August 2020. Was one owner, still only has 169,000 miles. Is steady as a rock. I replaced rear latch handle, it failed again after a few weeks! I now have end of cable fed through small hole under license plate. Been working fine like that for almost 2 years. Rear side door actuator failed twice, my fault for using cheap eBay parts, third time used OEM part and holding up. Had timing belt replaced, kit from Amazon cost $169, got local mechanic to install for $410. The old belt still looked like new. Recently drove up from Florida to Pennsylvania, averaged 21 mpg but drove a steady 55. Removed middle and rear seats, I use for camping and utility, bags of room, have a double size foam mattress and have slept in it a couple of times. Will never sell it, so reliable and the 4Wd works great, in fact in winter I could not get up our steep drive without it. Would highly recommend these trucks. If you shop around you can still pick up a good one for less than $5,000 and the great thing is they will outlast most vehicles you can buy new today 😆

the frame repair was not a recall it was labeled a extended warranty and it ended in 3 years ago so no more frames from Toyota

Where did you get the trd time?

they make all-metal rear hatch latches as an upgrade

I got the limited version I love the car but I car but since it's a hand me down I got to fix her she'll be fire once I'm done

I love mind

Does it have atrac?

Im more of a GMC Yukon, Suburban SuV TRUCKS, got 3..already. bought my 2004 First gen Seq 6 months ago, for cheap,was told that, it was most def one of the best SUV ever made between 2000 and 2010.. i was suspicious, did some research and check everything ,reviews,etc.. and a yeah.. i am amazed about it, got mine with 33s and 3 inch lift, bullbar,etc..looks amazing black on black.. the 4.7L iForce is virtually one of the best V8 ever made,like you mentioned no leaks, stable, no rattles..no wonder why Toyota got it discontinued, it is way too good and relaible!!!

Seats 8.

My 03 drives like the day it rolled off the lot. It's kind of ridiculous.

There wasn't any difference in horsepower between 2002 and 2007, the engine was the same. The difference was how horsepower was officially measured, in 2005 the Society of Automotive Engineers changed the rating system to "SAE Horsepower", which involved a different metric in the HP calculation.

Fanny pack gang

On my personal experience I hate the V8😠

LAND CRUISER.PERIOD.
