Gas mileage was the last thing on my mind when I bought one. I saw this white Sequoia going down the road in 2005, immediately decided to experience this vehicle at least one time in my life. Now sits in my driveway a white 2005 Sequoia SR5 2wd, bought from the original California owner, zero rust, 180k on the clock, paid $2200 for it. Just the truck I always wanted, 2wd is all I need, fewer things to break and replace. Boy is this a dream come true. Drives like nothing else. Glides on the highway, hauls two bedrooms, cold as ice, boils in the winter, nothing stops it, paid for itself the first month just hauling junk. Overall the most incredible vehicle I have ever come across. I wish I could find another in just as decent a shape, I'd just park it in the garage as a backup. Love it.

@HR-wd6cw 2 жыл бұрын

the problem with timing belts is that there is usually no "early sign" of failure. If you're lucky and the belt is perhaps only slightly (SLIGHTLY) stretched you might get some funky noises, but most of the people I know who broke belts on various cars, there was no warning sign. This is why it's imperative that you change the belts when they are recommended, or every 60k if you want to be on the safe side or if you live in extreme hot/cold climates. Luckily Toyota has gotten away from timing belts (as has most of the industry including Honda) although they still use interference engines. At least wit ha chain, as long as you keep the oil clean and change it periodically you shouldn't have any issues with a chain for the lifetime of the vehicle.

I know on older Hondas, it was recommended every 60k in severe conditions (so if you were in extreme cold or hot climates), but 105k for everywhere else (moderate climates). But a belt change is cheaper than a new engine and on interference engines, you run the risk of destroying the engine.

@YanDaddyy 2 жыл бұрын

They're doing the "right thing" by going to a 4cyl turbo. The only reason to not go that route is "I like the sound of it" or "I just want one". "Because it's reliable/proven" isn't really an excuse to keep a 20-year-old motor. You'll never have the current technology be "proven" if they don't put it in anything. Better fuel economy, better torque, and fewer emissions. Yea, it will have minor problems the first year or two, but once they iron out the wrinkles, it will be as reliable as any other Toyota engine out there. It's not a "customers don't want a v6", although some don't... All markets, especially the US have increasingly stricter requirements for emissions, fuel economy, and safety. Toyota can't keep living in the past if they want to stay relevant long term.

I have a 2006 Sequoia SR5 4WD (orig owner). Best car I'll ever have and the last! 160K and just getting started. Toyota replaced the entire frame (for free) a few years ago and we know the engine will probably last 600-800K miles conservatively... I agree with the others, please save on the casket and bury me w/my Akita in my Sequoia. You're the BEST Scotty, keep on making these awesome videos!!!

I have a 2002 Sequoia Limited with 162,000 miles. Bought it at my local family owned Toyota dealer with 147,000 miles on it in 2010. I’ve driven it many times to Yosemite from Southern California. Never an issue, solid as a rock. Like they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Sure, the back hatch lever broke but I replaced it myself with an all steel replacement. Easy to fix. For my family, Toyota is our vehicle of choice. Three Avalons and the Sequoia. Great vehicles each one.

Had an 02. Great. Got rid of it for a truck. Bad decision. Later in 2012, I got rid of the truck for a 2008 sequoia sr5 premium. It had 83k miles. Now it has 205600 miles. Not an issue. Solid as day one. Love it. This new sequoia looks beautiful, but that’s all. Smaller inside, more expensive. Gas mileage isn’t that much improved. I get 17. This new one gets around 22. And isn’t easy to work on.

Up in Canada, even though I check my tire pressure using an analog gauge the shop I went to for a pre-safety inspection on a 2010 F-150 wouldn't let a single TPMS sensor go too. They didn't charge all that much for it either, I think I had a pretty professional job done.

Hey Scotty, my wife and I bought a 02 sequoia limited brand new. We live in South Carolina. lol 😂 you’re spot on about the gas mileage, we got on the average 15mpg, but we didn’t really care, it was a awesome vehicle, we had no trouble whatsoever with it. We sold it a couple of years ago, seriously 😳 it had 127,000, when we sold it we were able to show the new owner the original window sticker. 😂 I did have to replace the handle on the tailgate. Still had the original spark plugs, did replace the belt at 120k. Really miss it, if I remember it was around $48k. Just had to tell ya about it. Keep up the awesome 👏 videos 👍👍

Weak point is useless secondary air injection System. Replacing means intake manifold needs to come off. Go with a Bypass Kit. Starter is also under manifold but not prone to failure. Expect "xmas" tree lights that he said too. Tsc...Booster cylinder sensor failure tripping brake light. Still great value though

Had to fix a few things....the rear hatch handle, starter went out, radiator started leaking, but the drive train is solid and interior great except the drivers seat looks like this one. Love the form factor. We only drive 10k mi/yr or less, so the mileage isnt too big a deal. Thanks for the videos Scotty!

I have an 02 Sequoia. I changed the plugs to use Ruthenium, and changed the MAF and my injectors. I now get about 21 to 22mpg on the highways. The original mpg avg was based on the older tech. The only problem with these are the lower ball joints and the rust. I didnt have enough coin sized holes in my frame to qualify for the frame recall. So i coat my truck every year. But I absolutely love this truck. Would buy the 2023+ version after they work out the kinks

Water pump and timing belt replaced at Toyota Dealership at 89,000 miles and agin at 191k mules car fax report and sales slip showed replaced. Good peace of mind. Gave a full tune up. New oem toyota spark plugs, transmission services with transmission filter drain and fill, engine coolant flush, brake flush, front ans rear diff full synthetic. This old Sequoia drives and shifts like new vehicle. As for Gas prices small price to pay for the Smile I have on my face every time I drive it.

I have the 2001 Sequoia SR5 with 146K miles. It’s my family’s road trip car. I replaced the timing belt for the first time at 133K miles (after 18 years!) and it still looked new. The cloth interior is still very good and since it’s a California car, the frame is rust free. I have driven it in the Tahoe snow many times but I make sure it gets rinsed after each trip. It’s one of my most reliable cars, next only to my 36-year old Nissan D21 pickup (Z24i) with 371K miles which I still drive daily today.
