I've had my '02 Limited 4x4 for four years now. It has 340k on it. Most confidence inspiring and reliable vehicle I've owned. Repairs: Rear door stuff, valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifolds, steering hoses, alternator, struts, dashboard lights. Not worrying about engines blowing up, transmission puking, computers breaking, or parts falling off: Well worth the "Toyota Tax".

This is my first time owing a Toyota Sequoia and at first was scared of buy a high mileage vehicle. However after seeing many reviews and positive feedback from Sequoia ownership.

I bought a 2004 Sequoia Limited a few years ago. I searched and searched for one in good condition with low mileage. I picked one up for $13k with 110,000. It had an amazing Car Fax report. It had been garaged and all the maintenance done religiously. Only other thing I really wanted was a green one. thought the odds are I won't find that specific color but again I got lucky and found a green one with absolutely no dints, window chips and no repairs of body damage. I've had Ford pickups, GMC pickups, Nissan Titan etc and I can say that this Sequoia is the best vehicle I've ever owned. Even though it was 17yo when I bought it. The only thing I have done was to get a new set of tires.....it had good tires on it but they were 11 years old so I figured they wouldn't hold up. AND.....I had to replace the rear hatch that you spoke about. Don't be intimidated to do it yourself. Several good video's to show how to do it and it really wasn't that difficult and I got a metal latch and it works great. Thanks for your video.

[@melvingrimes7886]

They are interference engines but if you lose the timing belt at low RPMs chances are you will have no bent valves. I'm an automotive tech and I've replaced over the years between 10 and 15 timing belts on first gen sequoias. Out of all of them 3 had bent valves. Also a nice little trick the back latch is notorious for breaking you can take and run the cable out of the lower left hand tag hole and use it as a manual release. Works great and no more replacing the latch.

[@tealmountaintrekking6141]

The one I'm looking to buy has 272k on it, had the ball joints replaced from the recall at 40k back in 2007. Are these adequate or should the be replaced again after all those miles?

[@sonydominates]

​​@tealmountaintrekking6141 With that many miles, it's probably best to replace them. Mine were replaced around 300k miles, but I see a lot of people recommending to replace them every 100k miles. I guess every 200k could be okay if you mostly have highway miles, but if you have modified suspension and put a lot of load up front, probably every 100-150k. It's not too hard to do and shouldn't be too expensive to get parts for. Not to mention, it's kind of a safety maintenance item at this point.

[@rebeccaobrien1630]

I just found your channel. I totally agree with you. My first Sequoia was a 2001 when my kids were young. Now as a grandmother I was looking for a reliable vehicle that would allow me to put 3- 4 car seats with no problem. Sold my 2004 Tacoma w/ 218 thousand miles and found a 2004 sequoia with 151 thousand miles. My Mechanic said it was in great shape, However I did have them replaced the ball joints and just yesterday tailgate decide to not opening. Other then that glad to see yours has held up having over 300thousand miles! I also feel it the suv vehicle out there!

[@wasatchmotoco]

Awesome! Is there anything you’d like to see that is specific to sequoias on this channel? There’s a trick to the rear hatch to get it open, but you probably aren’t going to be replacing it yourself. My opinion though is go with oem components. They’re not cheap but worth it 👍🏽

@@brintwalton7568 no that’s just for the latch problem. My window wasn’t working after sitting for a while, and I took it apart and reassembled and it’s worked great since. I have heard if you take a credit card or something and run it all the way around where the window seals to the weather stripping that may break it loose. If you can hear it trying it may just be stuck. Aparently that happens pretty frequently.

[@WildOutdoorLiving]

So something to note on the rear hatch. Alot of latch HANDLES break and people go through a ton of them not realizing that the handle is not the problem. The latch/lock mechanism on the bottom of the hatch that latches door down gets dirty/corroded and very stiff. As a result the handles or the cable starts wearing out because they can’t handle the increased resistance. I just replaced mine as it was too far gone but keeping them lubricated is critical.

[@wasatchmotoco]

Thanks for the input! Much appreciated

You can still get the frame replaced if Toyota hasn’t done any work on it related to the recall.

So glad I just stumbled upon this video. I know its old but gonna throw my comment out there anyway lol. quick story, I was looking to sell or possible trade my car and have someone offering to trade me their '03 sequoia 4x4 straight up for my crown vic. The sequoia has 225k on it, which I thought is crazy lol but it runs and drives soooo smooth and is in really good looking condition, clean. however I know absolutely nothing about toyota's, never have owned one. I've always been a ford guy, and my crown vic is simple to work on and reliable as heck. Only thing right off he mentioned is that the CEL is on for a YAW sensor, is that a deal breaker? Is this possibly a good trade considering mileage difference and value? I do like my ford crown vic it's amazing with only 125k miles BUT I've been wanting to sell it and get a jeep or something to overland with anyways and I've never really seen one of these sequoia's before now. Cash value I guess would be $2500 as that's what I paid for my car to trade. Sorry about the long post and thanks in advance for the reply.

[@wasatchmotoco]

I’m going to be ordering those soon for sure. Oem ones of course

[@YULABEBE]

@@wasatchmotoco Are OEM available via Toyota Dealers only, or would you be able to order via Rockauto or similar? Tks!

[@wasatchmotoco]

@@YULABEBE I believe just from the dealer.

@@wasatchmotoco appreciate the reply

[@steadmanuhlich6734]

TO WASATCH, very good video. I like how you pointed to the things you like and changes. Good emphasis on how you had owned other SUVs, Jeeps, etc. before. Your rig looks great! I would appreciate if in future videos you mention the typical cost for the mods or gear and if something is DIY by average owner or might be best done by a mechanic or skilled DIY. I liked your video so much that I subscribed, so I hope to see and learn more from you in the future. Happy trails!

[@wasatchmotoco]

Thank you so much! You have no idea how much that means to me. I really love it when people comment and say thank you. I really appreciate your suggestions and will for sure incorporate them in future videos! Cheers my friend

What side bars (nerf bars) are those?

[@TobyCostaRica]

Anyone know what year they resolved the leaky manifold issue? I had it on my 2000 tundra and I hear it sometimes on early 4.7 vehicles

[@bpowellamericanoutlaw8288]

What snorkel kit are you using cause all I can find for mine is the 98 to 07 land cruiser

[@am2185]

Hi - what does 4AT transmission mean? I am looking at a 2004 limited sequoia. The VSC Vac light is on ans well as the engine light is on. It drove very well no noise very quite ride.

[@Rob-tl9md]

I would get some woolwax or fluid film on the inside and outside of that frame.

[@wasatchmotoco]

Yes I’m planning to do that very soon. Thanks for the advice! Cheers

What does everyone feel About the hx460 spending a little more money for a little more modern?

[@FullPcGamer]

Great video!!

[@wasatchmotoco]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Do you have a 1st gen? If so I’d love to check it out. Make sure and subscribe to the channel for more sequoia upgrades videos! Cheers

[@michaelbrooks9450]

Looking @ the spacer lift Amazon says that it will not work if sequoia has 3rd row seats & tow package did you have any problems with the rear lift

[@wasatchmotoco]

I didn’t have any problem with the kit. It’s been a minute since I did mine but I don’t know why that would matter. Mine has third row and tow package.

[@michaelbrooks9450]

Great thanks I have an o1 that I’m fixing to lift & that threw me for a loop

[@orengo721]

I have a black 05 Sequoia limited with 230k on it and it runs amazing, but unfortunately the rust is starting to get to it, saw a couple weeks ago some bad rust hole beneath the driver's side front frame part. Everything else seems like surface, now I'm just contemplating if I want to fix that up or if I want to just get rid of it. Could also just run it to the ground 🤣

[@wasatchmotoco]

Run it! Do some rust prevention measures and run it!

[@garciasschevy]

Oem latch or handle?

[@Adeline9418]

I've got a first gen 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid. Sure wish I'd gotten a Toyota.

[@wasatchmotoco]

Well you can always change that! They’re going up in value but they can definitely be found for under 5k. Make sure and subscribe to the channel if you like the sequoia and overlanding related content! Cheers

Thanks for the link you gave me on fb. Me and my brother have a 01 limited and it looks like stock rotors are to small for the size of the vehicle! Any upgrade ideas?

[@wasatchmotoco]

I haven’t really explored brake upgrades to be honest. I’m in Utah and take some it up and down good size canyons and have never had an issue with warping or the brakes not being sufficient. I saw a guy on our fb group that did a brake upgrade. I’ll try and track it down and send it to ya. Thanks for watching!

[@melortega6228]

Hey Victor, look at 13WL if ur planning to upgrade the brake assembly..its for a 2004+ Sequoia slightly larger all u need to trim by just a little bit is the dust shied and the rest is just plug and play. I did this to my 02 and big difference and I also changed the brake line with steel breeded brake line...good luck🤙🏽

[@YULABEBE]

I have a 2001 anyone have any good headlights and housing upgrades?

[@TONELOWthaWRITER]

How much is it to do a timing belt job. And how much for a new starter on this vehicle?

[@wasatchmotoco]

I did the timing belt myself. The parts were about 300. I got Aisin which is basically oem replacement. I’d venture to say to have a shop do it you’d be looking at around 7-800 for that job. The starter is under the intake manifold which is kind of a dumb design but I’d say probably 3-400 for the starter. That’s definitely not a common issue. It’s pretty rare that they go bad. Mine is at 305k original starter.

[@TONELOWthaWRITER]

@@wasatchmotoco i appreciate it, and thats not bad prices, i really like these trucks

[@zeyadalmamoori4477]

nice rig

[@bigshooter1071]

Did u put a lift kit on? Thanks

[@wasatchmotoco]

It had a 3” lift when I filmed this. It now has 5” perfect for what I was after and no tire rubbage with 35” tires

[@thisoldchitbox4x4]

What sliders are those?? Thanks!

[@wasatchmotoco]

They are from Rocky Road Outfitters in Heber, Ut

[@maxlovell9091]

Is the premium sound system any good on this i can’t find any reviews on it online?

[@wasatchmotoco]

Yea it’s JBL factory on the premium limited models and they sound really good with the factory subwoofer.

[@dthor6922]

What r the offset

[@JDMSwervo2001]

It’s good these don’t go for much

[@MX-CO]

Would you tow a 5000 pound Camper with it?

[@wasatchmotoco]

Heck yea. My old camper was close to that and it did great with it. I believe the towing capacity is 6500lbs. It may downshift a bit but these motors are strong and don’t mind the revs :)

[@daytondave3034]

@@wasatchmotoco Towing capacity is 6500 lbs on 2WD and 6200 lbs for 4WD on 2001 to 2004.

[@tonymontana6368]

What's the wheel size and offset ?

[@wasatchmotoco]

They are 17x9 Rocktrix -12mm offset. No spacers
