Top 5 Reasons we Love our Toyota Sequoia as a Family

[@1malikalik]

Historical Trivia: 2nd Gen SEQUOIA is the 1st and only Full Size Body on Frame TOYOTA Truck without a REAR SOLID AXLE. A Multi Link Suspension is ideal in offroading hence the range rover and nissan patrol/armada and qx80 all use the multi link Suspension. Also, the 2nd Gen Tundra, SEQUOIA and LC 200 Series all had 5 lugs. The generation prior and after all have 6 Lug. The 2nd Gen SEQUOIA is starting to grow on me. I Love the rear power window which is abscent in The 3rd gen

I have 2008 toyota sequoia limited great suv you statements very true 👍

[@jaymoar3561]

What’s the mileage on the beauty today? Those are million mile SUV’s.

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Over 300,000... they are a great investment.

[@spiralnapkin]

I have a 2008 Limited. The very best vehicle I've ever owned.

I bought my 2016 Sequoia in 2022. It only had 36,000 miles on it. Paid 40 for it but would do it all over again! Absolutely love this rig, the only thing I wish would change is how quickly the front rotors warp, which I’m assuming is because it weighs over 6000 pounds. I also installed air max air bags in the rear coils which has made a world of difference towing our 30ft camper. Will definitely be running this until it dies… just cleared 60,000 miles

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

We are at 285000 and still runs amazing!

I bought my 2018 in 21 with 38k Miles for 45k. About to hit 60k miles and it’s a blast. Went to Florida, Canada and DC and the kids love road trips. I have a velocirack bike rack that can carry 6 bikes and it makes the truck look meaner and ready for doomsday!! We love it!! I also like the facia update for 2018 with the led headlights. Looks very mean! Great suv!

I got a 2016 sr5 2wd and it still is running like a monster!!🤩🤩

[@MillenniumFalcon]

I have a 2010 Sequoia, and it's still going strong. I'm finding some of the parts are getting harder to come by. For example, recently got into a fender bender and had to get the front light grill replaced and all the body shops in TX that I checked had the replacement only available on back order. In any case I really like your videos and added a subscription to stay up to date.

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

That's really interesting there are so many 2nd Gen's on the road, we haven't heard of this being an issue. Hopefully, it just is on back order and not a production thing! Thanks for subscribing & safe travels.

4Runner has approximately 1.5 ft tighter turnovers no radius but the sequoia is impressive

I've got a family of 6 plus a large dog and we go overlanding/offroading quite often. We've been using a 2023 Subaru Ascent with a few mods (2" lift, skid plates, rock sliders, winch, welded front recovery points, 18" wheels, and rear diff locker) and it's been very capable. We carry our pop-up tent on the roof, have to take it down to use it which is slightly annoying, but not the cars fault. Anyway, although we owe nothing on the Ascent and we did all those mods, I'm still considering upgrading to a Sequoia. We recently broke both rear axles and the CVT is already showing signs of having problems after only 30k miles. I found a Toyota Sequoia 2020 Limited for $57k with 36k miles on it, but our trade-in would only be worth maybe $35k max. Not sure if it's worth taking on a loan again considering we'd be gaining bigger vehicle, but give up all our offroad mods which we'd have to buy all over again. Part of me wishes we'd started with the Sequoia instead of the Ascent, but my Wife doesn't like big vehicles. The Ascent has 8 seats and has way more 3rd row room than the 4runner has...although the Sequoia is way more comfortable in the 3rd row by far (I test drove both and sat in all the seats recently). I feel like the Sequoia would handle our passenger/cargo weight way better than the Ascent would and probably wouldn't have any problems to show for it (i.e. no broken axles or extra wear on the transmission). Wish I could find a 2020 Sequoia closer to $40k. Seems like the 2020 is the sweet spot right now.

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Why not consider an older one? Toyota's are built to last. Our 2013 had 280000 kms and we maintain it well. I don't think anything is happening to it soon and even if it does it's a smaller chunk of change than a newer car. Buying cars is so personal but thought I'd throw that out there - wish you luck with it.

[@slandshark]

@@OffRoadDiscovery That's a possible option. I'm spoiled with some of the features of our 2023 Ascent, which is technically my Wife's car, so she has to really like the Sequioa. I did find a nearby 2018 Sequoia Limited with 42k miles for $42k. Looks like someone already put 20" FUEL wheels on it too, wrapped in Pathfinder All Terrain tires. I haven't heard of Pathfinder before...

[@oliviad735]

bought me a 2011 for 18 with taxes i believe this yr in march. LOVE the thing! family wasn’t happy i bought a second at the close end of my 21 years but one family member said they rather want me to buy that than an apartment but the storage is 👌🏽🤌🏽 but got into an accident two months of having it but is finished 🥳 but i can’t pick it up until my insurance pays them for one more thing then i can pick it up. also am in school also 😅

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Hope it runs smoothly and you and your family have lots of fun times in it!

[@oliviad735]

@@OffRoadDiscovery yes! thank you

[@jeremiahis]

Looks like you have a lift - did you just do spacers? Thanks

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

We installed a ReadyLift Kit, full details - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX6Wm2yXfKx6l5I

Great video

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Thanks! Happy travels!

[@jairmartinez2246]

I might be buying a 2016 4wd with 150k miles for $24K. Is that a good deal? Are the miles high? Im just trying to get some opinions

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

That seems reasonable to us. We are over that km limit ourselves and don't fear the engine having problems. Always check around to see what other people are selling for to compare and good luck!

[@AdrianGonzalez-nn9kw]

200 miles. Sequoia still better than a any jeep 100 milles same year
