2018 Toyota Sequoia review from Family Wheels 

You can drive your buddies to the repair shops to pickup their Expectations and Armadas in your Toyota.

Let's compare repair bills after 10 years of ownership in the 3 ton SUV category and see which brand comes out on top.

I’m looking at a 2018 with 38k miles for $45k and honestly, as outdated as it is, it’s reliability beats any updated crap the competition has. As long as it drives and it’s comfortable and spacious, I’m good. I hope it goes well and I get my new sequoia!!

I know this is an older video, batmen. I love my 2010 Sequoia. I know it's dated and old, but It's so reliable.

My '02 Sequoia has 300k on it. Any Tahoes or Expeditions with 300k you want to drive in?

I would caution anyone buying the new or slightly new Expedition. I own a Sequoia (2008) that looks very similar to this one, it has 182k miles on it and still runs like new. What's amazing to me is how I'd still rather drive this 2008 Sequoia than the Expedition I had. I owned a 2017 Expedition with 60k miles on it. Yes it had more creature comforts, however I hated the steering compared to the Sequoia, I also already had check engine lights on the dash due to PCV issues. The turbo driver side was already leaking oil....and don't get me started on turbo reliability. The sequoias dash buttons don't wear off, everything just works and feels the same at 182k as a new one...not kidding here. Drive any other brand and they feel like a box of rocks around 120k miles compared to the Toyota. There's just something endearing about the reliability/quality of ride and consistency of how the Sequoia feels even with high mileage. If you are looking to keep a vehicle for a long long time past warranty, don't consider another large SUV. I've had them all (Yukon XLs, Expeditions etc.), and none compare with high mileage and resale value to the Toyota.

It is a great classic family SUV. It covers the basics the best. It has great space and outstanding reliability.

We have a 16 platinum we bought new. We test drove a bunch and also crawled into a bunch side by side at our auto show. We have no regrets and we love it.

Toyota SUV's are the best resale trucks in Canada, I was just looking at a 2010 4Runner with SR5 with 160K for $17K today with 4.7 V8. You just can't beat its reliability period!

Nice video💯, please review next the Toyota LC200😁

Looking forward to your RDX review Paul! I think it's the new top dog in the compact luxury SUV class.

Never thought I'd say this, but thanks in large part to your review of both the Expedition and this Sequoia, if I had to choose...I'd easily go for the Expedition! Taking into account that I am NOT a Ford fan, that's saying a lot! Btw Paul I can't help but notice that most of the vehicles you review have either Ontario or BC license plates. Do special vehicles specifically get shipped into Calgary for your channel reviews? Or...how does that all work? Just curious, seeing as how you review cars here in cowtown...one would think you'd be driving cars from local dealerships. Feel free to clue me in. Either way...boring vehicle (the Sequoia), but another great and informative review! Hope you enjoy making these reviews as much as I enjoy watching them! 😀

Wait but there is no jbl in the sr5 premium what kind speakers is in there

All I now is, Toyota=Dependable. ...that alone makes it a winner in my book.

I love my 2017, I drive fast and get 13 MPG, that 5.7 is an animal.

My Dream SUV Car!!!

Hi Paul, any plans to review the 2019 Corolla hatchback? :)

Expedition's turbo puts more stress on its engine and, therefore, shortens the powerplant's life expectancy. Enjoy your repair shop bills/invoices, while I'm out cruising in my quality, reliable, durable and longevity Toyota.

Possible to fit two car seats and a booster in the second row across?

Do they offer 25 year financing?... Because it's more money than my first house.

Hey Family wheels, can you do another sequoia review with a wheelchair And baby bag or backpack?

how much

If that Vehicle had a diesel engine it would have been the best.

But, yet, the Sequoia will out perform and outlast any other competitive make/model.

If you're buying a Toyota , and by that I mean any Toyota , you're not buying anything that would excite you , they are as boring to drive , they are behind everyone in technology , they are still using engines and transmissions that are a decade old , but what you get with a Toyota that you don't get with any other manufacturer is dependability .

Reliable SUV thats why Toyota dont want to mess with bunch of computers and ecu that can fail like the newer models

Personally I don't care if Toyota takes there time on an update as long as that vehicle is class leading. The real issue i have with Toyota is Toyota charging the same price or in most cases, even more money than when it was introduced and literally nothing has changed. Nissan is good with handling a dated portfolio of vehicles. Although Nissan now claims they are not going to discount old vehicles so they will most likely tank. Toyota is much like GM of the 90s where it just has customers that blindly transition from one Toyota to the next, never shopping the market. They get rewarded for not updating ther vehicle. For example, they have had basically the same 3.5L V6 over 15 years. In 15 years of production I would hope you become efficient and reliable at building the same thing. They would be viewed much differently if theydont have ther e glory years of the 90s. Not much new has happened since then. Most of there cars are a partnership. They can't even develop there own sports car. Long winded so I apologize its just frustrating to watch a leader now become a follower at best

I don’t care that its a gas guzzler,I still want one lol

I don't care if it's dated and ugly if it is dependable like most Toyota's are. People forget what vehicles are for. Pretty means nothing if it is broken down on the side of the road.

If you're worried about MPG, buy a Prius.

6:11 I am sorry, but it looks like someone gets interiors from two different, ugly cars and glue them together.

My 2013 Sequoia 5.7 with 220,000kms gets 14 litres/100 kms highway @105 km hr. A schizophrenic right foot might be an issue. My 2003 4RUNNER 4.7 with 370,000 gets about the same mileage. Despite what you say I experience completely the opposite. The fit and finish is exceptional the interior is outstanding and has all types of creature comforts and bonus features. It also rides very very well, albeit somewhat like a cruise ship. I guess you can’t afford one so you’re a bit jealous. Stick with a scrawny Subaru. What a whiner! P.S. my iPhone hooks up the minute I get in and picks up exactly where my music left off. Maybe you should review phones instead.🙄

Soooooo? What's new all I see is the headlights. Everything else still the same boring stuff.

Too much of opinion....not enough concrete review

What a waste to use this vehicle to haul kids around in suburbia.

GM: Garbage Manufactured

The problem is that Toyota reliability was a thing in the 1980s and 1990s when cars were crappy. Most modern cars will go 100k miles which makes Toyota products just obsolete. What's worse, Toyota won't even stand behind their products - I can get a better new vehicle warranty in a Jaguar. This is a company that rested on its laurels for a very very long time and is now finding itself completely outclassed. I have owned two Toyotas and at one point thought I would be a lifelong customer. Now I don't even consider the brand when car shopping due to poor design, bad interior materials, outdated mechanicals, and a terrible driving experience.

OMG. Who buys this car?!!! I am not!

Who is buying these things??? So old, so unattractive. And this idea of Toyota reliability is negligible.
