Best vehicle I've ever owned / Best investment

My Sequioa has been an exceptional vehicle. It was purchased w/ 108k miles. I changed timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, serpentine belt, battery, and did a full synthetic transmission flush. I always use full synthetic oil changes every 6k miles and run nothing but 93 octane for fuel. MAKESAN AMAZING DIFFERENCE when you invest in the best maintenance practices. Extremely impressive take power, decent fuel economy for a big suv, and very comfortable. The only thing I need to do is add LED headlights cause the factory ones aren't great to see at night. I have 149k miles now and it runs flawless. I have put 2015 4runner wheels on it and it sits higher and looks amazing. So thankful for Toyota brand!! Pulls my 6x12 trailer effortlessly too!

How was I to know

This is my second Toyota and its the best machine I have ever owned. From the first day it has been a joy and to drive. With no effort I dart in and out of traffic as if it was a car. Taking it through the mountains of Napa Ca you would think the curves would give one reason for caution. Not here. It continues to amazie me how well it handles on the road, in turns, hard curves, quick stops. With a full load of seveal cases of wine it does not change the ride. How their can be any way a rating company can not give this truck a number one or best in class must just what to be kind to the other manufactures.

We bought an 04 4WD SR5. We have a dog, 3 kids, and travel with lots of stuff (kids 4, 2 ,4 mos). Rides well, no build issues. Fit finish ok (a few panel gaps). Mileage has been poor but typical. This is a 4 speed trans too. Older 4WD has not been an issue, we live in Maine and works well. But it lacks little things. 2nd row lock for seat fold up to enter third row. No fold flat. No remote start option or camera accessible cup holder in 2nd row. Lack of lateral support in front seats. No power lift gate (my wife has tough time reaching this). Overall I’d consider a Suburban or Denali over this if I made the purchase today on a new 07-08. Used however I’d get the Toyota.

Very Different!

We traded a Honda Odyssey for the SR5 and are very pleased. Two cautions for those coming from a minivan. 1. you lose the pass through between the captains chairs to the 3rd row. 2. the Odyssey sipped gas, the Sequoia guzzles it. BUT it rides like a cloud on wheels and feels as safe as a bank vault. Overall, bigger than the van but you lose cargo space in the back - par for the course for 4x4's. Bottomline, if 4 wheel drive is not important to you then stick with a minivan. Otherwise, this is a great car.
