2004 Toyota Sequoia SUV Review: Features, Safety, Options, Interior, Engine and Configurations

The 2004 Toyota Sequoia is among the best of the used full-size SUVs. It's nearly the same size as a Ford Expedition, and slightly larger than a Chevrolet Tahoe. The Sequoia is a good vehicle for big families, especially for those who pull trailers. It offers three rows of seats capable of carrying eight passengers.
The #2004ToyotaSequoia comes in two configuration levels: SR5 and Limited. Both are powered by a 240-horsepower 4.7-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive can be found.
If space, towing capacity, and off-road capabilities of a truck-based, full-size sport-utility are everything you require, a used 2004 Toyota Sequoia is difficult to beat.

I have a 2004 Sequoia SR5 which I bought in excellent condition in 2013. It has leather seats, upgraded wheels and upgraded sound system. The original owner told me its a "high mileage" vehicle and the not so good MPG. I was was more than happy to pay the $13000. for the Sequoia that only had 98000 miles on it. I now have 143000 miles on it and had the Toyota dealership replace the spark plugs and run an engine scan which showed no problems. BTW, the engine requires Irridium spark plugs that I was was charged under $20.00 for eight plugs compared to online prices of $18.00 each. Sometimes it may worth checking out the dealerships before going to your local friendly mechanics who wanted to charge me $ 585.00 for spark plug replacements. I did have the Toyota dealership to run a diagnostic check on the engine for $220. It turned out fine. So between the plugs and the diagnostic, the bill came to $ 400.00. Be aware folks.

Dude awesome Vid. Thank you for breaking down the differences in Trim level! I figure most people watching this are looking at one right now to buy as I am and wanted to know exactly what each trim comes with. Such a simple thing but got me to like and sub. Keep it up!

Really good video my man but next time ALWAYS START UP THE VEHICLE so we can hear the engine,we really LOVE hearing engines...

Noted and thanks for the tip! LOVE your name. I use to want an S600 for the longest time and would still get one!

@@BuildYourOwn Yeah man I own a 96 S420 with over 200,000 miles but it needs some work,but I always wanted that S600,still might get it one day,its just the maintenance is so costly,now that S420 ain't no slouch but I can just imagine how BEASTLY that S600 really is...

[@BuildYourOwn]

@@mercedesbenzs600bash I had a 94 400E and it had the same engine I think, which was the 275-horse V8. I'm sure that S600 is a BEAST, right along with trying to get it serviced lol. I know that car needs more than the coil packs you always read about and I think they have to pull up the engine for many services, which is why it costs so much. Nothing wrong with an S420! Least you don't have to worry about the air suspension like on the 500s

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

@@BuildYourOwn EXACTLY no air suspension is a plus,who knows man maybe one we'll be fortunate enough to get THE BEAST,lol,im looking for an older Sequoia,seen a few,some in real good shape others not so much,im still looking though...

Thanks for watching and enjoy that Sequoia

[@A-aron71]

How much did you pay for it and do you still like/recommend it?

[@jdmoffat2855]

@@A-aron71 I paid $1700 for mine at an impound auction, it was a little rough. $3500 later I got it looking and running good. Spent $2200 on engine maintenance and head re surfacing, head gasket, timing belt , starter, plugs & coil packs and $1300 on replacement parts and trim and everything. Had 198599 when I got it and it's got 200,500 now. I think if I sold it, I'd want another one.

Please understand that there is a huge difference between AWD and 4 wheel Drive when making a video on any automobile. Just a heads up.

[@kurtsullivan9203]

Yeah but Toyota made it super confusing on these and 4 runners etc of the time. The 4 runner had an awd system on some trims/years and just a standard 4x4 on others. Everyone watching this video gets the point it's a Toyota SUV and it will go over shit. No one cares about being pedantic.

[@landrover4444]

The narrator doesn't know the difference between AWD and four-wheel drive. That's clear. He's also reading directly from a 2004 article on New Car Test Drive [dot] com.

[@Luketheskywalker18]

The sequoia technology goes into an awd mode when you engage the “4x4” button, and center diff is unlocked allowing variable power to each wheel. Then you can lock center diff and it becomes a standard 50/50 4x4 system. With center diff locked you feel crabbing when turning. Not locked there’s no crabbing and can drive 65mph. They are beasts.

[@jmortsail]

The coin slot is removable.

[@ozarad6263]
