Top Features we Love on our 2nd Gen Toyota Sequoia

[@fasttoyo]

the 2nd gen Sequoias are amazing vehicles. i don't think the new 2023's fully replace this generation.

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Except not everyone can run out and buy one ;)

[@teter129]

Just got a 2nd Gen after a LONG time hunting for the right one. Awesome (underrated) vehicle IMHO. Thanks for the vid . . .

You know its really cold when snow sounds like that.

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Yeah it was a cold day. Think a beautiful -20c. Sure am happy for the spring weather these days.

[@life-is-good-416]

Always loved the sound of crunching snow 😁

[@patrickfortin634]

I love my 2013 Platinum! I’ve had it 6.5 years now and the ONLY thing it’s missing is a heated steering wheel!!! It is a MUST for Quebec winters!!

[@peterigwilopi]

Gas guzzler?

[@patrickfortin634]

@@peterigwilopi In the summer on 18” wheels, I get 12L/100km. In the winter, I get about 14-15L/100km with my 20” studded tires. I live out of town in the mountains, so city to highway is about 25/75.

[@ybdizz]

@@peterigwilopi yes it is 100%

[@Methodical2]

@6:50. I like that the fluid spray on the back is timed so that it comes out just before the wiper starts which allows the the wiper actually use the fluid to clean the back window. On my old Ford Expedition the fluid was timed so that it came out after the wiper started.

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

@Methodical2 that's very observant - thanks for pointing it out. That does make a difference!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

They’re just a great all around vehicle . They drive great are super comfortable and you can tow up to 7,400lb . We just looked at a 2024 and loved everything about it except the rear storage area , I’m not sure what they were thinking but it was a deal breaker for us . Thanks for sharing

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

We've seen 2024 online but not in person what is it about the storage you don't like? I'm just interested to know. Cheers.

[@stacydornan9765]

Just bought a 2010 Tree didn't know what the headlight washer button was thanks bro

[@chrisschlichting9145]

This suspesion is like butter i love this suv by far from the cars i love comfy

[@WeFightTheCorruption]

Did you know that on the front console, if you hold the handle like you are going to open it, you can slide the entire top forward to your liking.

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Yes, thanks for sharing this so others know too!

[@trinchezito1383]

2:17 you had me worry. I did a cringe face because i tough you were going to say the chrome grille lol

[@PhotoServePlatform]

Great info!

[@pastorfred3460]

what brand did you use for the rear air bags? tks! picking up a 2008 on Monday, original owner and 230k...hoping there is a lot of life left in her!

[@Landcruiser252]

How much you pay for it boss

[@pastorfred3460]

@@Landcruiser252 $12,750 but should have been $10k because didn't realize the rear subframe crossmember was rotted out. You couldn't see it because the spare tire obscured it...but I was able to source one at a salvage yard...basically had to rip out the whole rear end to replace it...a buddy helped me do the work. These are great vehicles and I'm glad to have it...engines pulls like it was new.

[@vuphung1106]

Great video. Which strut spacer did you use?

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

ReadyLift, full model details can be found here: www.offroaddiscovery.com/overland-toyota-sequoia-lift-and-tire-upgrade

[@jaymoar3561]

What year and how many miles on the beauty?

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

2013 and today it has about 260000km... it gets a good workout!

[@rickmoran7385]

Hello from Manitoba!! I’m a subscriber and I appreciate your videos!! I have a 2011 Sequoia Limited and it was your previous video that sold me on the Ready Lift Levelling Kit so I bought the same one that you did and had it installed. Now........I need the details on the air bag system your running, I need/want a system for my Sequoia. Reason is, I noticed immediately after I had the levelling kit installed, the front was noticeably higher than the rear and when I hooked onto my 19’ Lund fishing boat......did I ever notice the height difference from the front compared to the rear! So, any and all info would be appreciated. Would you have done anything differently knowing what you know now after all the updates you have done up to this point? Any future plans for yours? Thanks very much for any/all your advice and information! Rick

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Hi Rick! Thanks for the support by subscribing we appreciate it. As for the air bags I thought we had it in a video but can't look it up right now. We added Air lift air bags more specifically Air lift 1000...part number 60786. Hope this helps! Also a note I just thought of, our mechanic mounted the air bags upside down so the air lines weren't coming out of the bottom but the top so the air lines couldn't get as damaged easily.

[@marcusj4467]

Really appreciate this coming from another family looking at a used platinum for ski trips and road trips, we are looking at this or a LX570, I think the space of the sequoia is winning so far - have you had the dreaded cam tower leak ? What would it cost to repair in Canada ?

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Haven't had the issue so no idea sorry! Happy skiing!

[@castleranch738]

We are considering a 2WD available locally. Any concerns with this for mild off road?

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

2wd drive is enough to get you into trouble and not get you out.

[@user-vf6ru8gm9p]

Unless by off road you mean a parking lot get a 4wd.

[@trinisuprazee]

will a stroller fit length ways in the cargo with the 3rd row up?

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Not a chariot but a normal city one on the side should fit no problem.

[@kylejazwiecki714]

What wheel and tire size is this?

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Our Winter's shown are Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT2 Studded 265/75/R16 (we are huge fans of Nokian Hakkapeliitta Studded and only buy them as our winter tires, got them on our Land Rover too). Just in case you are interested...Our newest summers are Toyo Open Country A/T3 275/70/R18, we were running Cooper Discoverer 275/70/R18 before but found they got loud after a few seasons. We have a 2 inch lift so all of these are bigger than stock.

[@AllAmericanSafety]

Wonder if second row can accommodate three car seats

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Yes I think it can with car seats made for 3 in a row. It's really wide. I've done 1 car seat with 2 boosters no problem.

[@AllAmericanSafety]

@@OffRoadDiscovery thank you! These are going for almost the same price as the 3rd gen, insane times.

[@ruturaj47]

Front facing should fit but don't even if you can. Only the middle seat has a back anchor.

[@maxe9220]

gotta put the wipers down. U're wearing out the springs if its done often

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Interesting... thanks.

[@maxe9220]

@@OffRoadDiscovery Are you happy with that lift on the truck? I also want to lift mine and don't want to spend a lot of money for the "proper" lift kit (springs and coils). Do those spacers hurt the ride comfort a lot? Thanks!

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

@@maxe9220 Yes we are happy with the ReadyLIFT, a big reason vs doing springs and coils was cost but also the ability to keep all stock Toyota parts so if we are on a trip and need to get something repaired Toyota will be able to handle anything that needs to be done on our vehicle. The spacers don't hurt the ride at all...but it's been so long with them that maybe I forget the beforehand!

[@maxe9220]

@@OffRoadDiscovery Thank you for your response!

[@basrinak6372]

Good video but why not wash it first? 😊

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Because it was way too cold to wash haha. Our vehicles rarely get washed in the winter.

[@dancinggirl02]

Is this a limited?

[@RedBoneCoonHound47]

Yes, this is a Limited. The Platinum comes with the Air Suspension, 2nd row captains chairs and a 2nd row console as well as other features. I have a Platinum and would love to change the 2nd row out for a bench for the dogs.

[@spiralnapkin]

@@RedBoneCoonHound47 dang, I've got a Limited. I'd love to trade 2nd row seats with you.
