I bought our Sequoia new in January, 2004 and transferred ownership to my son a year ago and I bought a new Highlander for myself. He’s selling Sequoia now to get a car to use for business and clients. I’ve done all scheduled maintenance at Toyota dealers. Engine, transmission, everything is still strong. Sequoia handles great in Sierra snow and on the freeway in San Jose. Much better in snow than a previous 1996 Suburban. I am 6’2” and son is 6’4” and we fit very comfortably behind the wheel. Have used to transport kids to college with all their stuff, this car has excellent capacity. I want to keep it but have no need for another car in the driveway (and I really like my new Highlander). It will be sad to see it go, but some new owner will love it.

In 2003 I was driving a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am. Because I have 5 kids this car was just not big enough. When I went to the dealership to test drive this Sequia I fell in love with it instantly.It had everything that I was looking for. I am a sports car person and driving a vehicle like a van is just not me. This Sequia looked great on the outside.It was MY STYLE. It rides so quiet and smooth and drives like a dream. The kids are very fond of the entertainment system for them and it comes in handy on those long road trips we take. I've had my Sequia since August of 2003 and have not found anything that I do not like about it.

......but then again this is the first full size SUV I've bought. Bought my 4x4 2004 SR5 model in 2020 with 156,000 miles, one owner, pretty good condition, for $4000. The original owner kept up with all the maintenance apart from timing belt, replacement at a dealer is astronomical but bought the Aisan belt/water pump kit from Amazon for $170 and been quoted $300 by local garage to fit, it's a job I could tackle myself but need one or two specialty tools and would take me a day or two so not worth my while. Have replaced one or two things, a couple of seized rear calipers, cheap and easy to do yourself as was the EVAP sensor($30), a rear door actuator ($26). The biggest pain so far is the rear hatch. Stopped being able to open. I replaced handle and lock actuator, approx $150 for parts. Failed again after a few days. Worked out is a poorly designed system and handle and actuator do not work in harmony so ran end of actuator cable through hole under license plate so I can open and it still locks and unlocks, I just pull on end of cable. Hole was made at some point by previous owner so he must have had similar problems when he owned, it's something I could mess around with and remedy but it would only happen again because of poor design. If buying a Sequoia used check the frame, mine needed a small amount of welding, pointed this out to the seller along with need for timing belt and he knocked $500 off price, welding only cost $150. Rest of frame fine apart from surface rust, it was previously inspected by Toyota and deemed OK. Seems all negative up to now, oh did I mention the gas mileage, lol, but the reason I chose the Sequoia is the excellent reputation of the engine and transmission, peripherals will go wrong as in any other car but the engines and transmissions on these are bulletproof and second to none, probably outlast me! It's also roomy as hell so great for utility and recreation use. Found that parts are relatively cheap and there is loads of room to work on it given the space under engine bay and ground clearance so great for the enthusiastic DIY'er like me! One or two other comments, interior is dated but mine has held up very well. I know I just mentioned parts being relatively cheap but there was an exception, $10 for a single bulb that had to be bought from Toyota, it was the one for the 'D' light on the dash display, the good news is that the fix is very easy, took me less than 20 minutes-thankfully loads of YouTube videos on how to fix and repair stuff! The fact the previous owner had a brand new $60,000 Sequoia sitting in his double garage encouraged me to buy this one, always a good sign when someone replaces a car with the same make and model!

We've had our Sequoia for 5 years now - 80000 miles - and it still runs like a charm. It is comfortable, easy to drive, and we've had NO issues with it the entire time. Highly recommend for a great long-term daily car.

Purchased my 2004 Sequoia in 2006 with 25k miles. Maintained over the years inside and out per dealer specs. 265k miles currently and still runs and looks like new! No major repairs or replacements. Consistently complimented by friends, strangers and dealer service techs on its current overall condition. Best and most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Super dissatisfied with my prior vehicles which included Volvo, Jaguar, and Lincoln. Toyota/Lexus family (my wife drives a Lexus GX) for life!
