Toyota Sequoia Review-- SHOWING ITS AGE 

I bought my used 2008 (first gen) about 3 years ago. I replaced the stereo with proper nav and blue tooth. It is great for my wife and four girls. This thing is a beast and a great drive. The turning radius is amazing. Love it...

Outdated absolutely. Most reliable absolutely. You definitely purchase this for peace of mind.

Showing its age but still has amazing resale value !

Nice car for a big family It may be old school but very reliable, it can outlast any turbocharged engine vehicle in its class

Picked up an 02 Limited with 260k. Two repairs and new headlights were the only things needed. I changed out the head unit for a Nav/Bluetooth/backup camera to give me modern essentials. Rollin for less than $5000 into it. Using it mostly for a moving vehicle (trailer) and filling a house (cargo). I'm happy with it.

Loyal toyota driver here. Most reliable vehicles.

What a beautiful interior! Proper knobs and switches, proper shifter and a small screen instead having the dash dominated by stupid iPad wannabes. I wish car manufacturers would give you a choice when purchasing a vehicle these days even if was just the base model to have a proper ergonomic dash set up like this instead of the video game- take your eyes off the road to adjust anything dashes that are being produced currently.

You forgot to add-that big boy will still be on the road in 20 years.

I think it is perfect just the way it is. No crap all substance and built to last. Also less expensive than most of the competition when similarly equipped. I would rather a similarly dated 4 runner but if I had the cash this would be on my list over the triplets.

I want everyone to go sit in the 3rd row of a crossover. The response is always "why even mother with this". If you want to move adults around an SUV is king.

Still a nice goodlooking and long lasting suv regardless of your opinion. Love my 08 sequoia limited 190kmiles runs like new

10 years old, but should be very reliable. It's refined over all those years, also I thought they discontinued making these, but then again if I saw a brand new one I probably wouldn't know the difference if it was new or 3-4 years old.

Most reliable, competent, and comfortable in its class. So what if it's old? If it ain't broke don't fix it. If Toyota finds a way to get better mpg on these behemoths they will absolutely dominate the segment.

I saw one of these on the road and I was amazed by how big it was. My family has an 04 Sequoia Limited and it’s boxy and big. But these new ones are big and long and I was just like 😳😳😳 but I like them them

At a price of approximately $20,000 per ton , this base model Sequoia represents a pretty decent value.

Good review. Thanks.

The problem is I can buy a used 08-10 one for 15k which is essentially the same car, and still have it last for another decade or 2.

Thanks... well summed up. I wish Lexus would work with this platform for us Canadians (LX=Land Cruiser, GX=4Runner ) This as a Lexus would fit perfectly in the middle. Thanks again.

People complain about fuel economy or outdated, it’s a big car so yes it will use more fuel. It’s outdated, because it works and it’s reliable. Why would I want a big ass screen infotainment and then having to go to get it service after 50k miles. With that truck you get your moneys worth. I personally prefers Toyotas reliability and durability than all the flashy electronic crap that will break right away. It’s a good looking truck and you can keep it for a good 20 years. Now if you’re one of those who change cars every 3 years then sure get something else. I’m getting one tomorrow is a 2018 and I’m very excited. I’m planning to keep it for another 15 years. Had my highlander for 12 years and I got my moneys worth as well.

I wonder when they're going to redesign the Sequoia. It's way overdue for a new generation with a more fuel efficient powertrain combination

My 2003 Sequoia (original owner) is still going strong at 267,000 miles.

A extremely important SUV for Overlanding as is the 4Runner, I have 2 friends one of each & here on #VancouverIsland #BC where a litre of gasoline is $1.64 today regular. All of us go Overland trips and my friend who has the 4Runner gets ONLY 1 or 2 mpg more than the Sequoia when at 30-60 klms a hour (4x4 on dirt roads). If the Sequoia is $20,000 cheaper than a Tahoe or Armada then its worth it for fuel costs over a year @ 1 tank per week! But I'd probably get the Armada for the dependable engines even if I pay at the pumps in Canada.

help : reliability head to head ........2019 sequia vs expidition .......which one will give less issues on a 10 year period? if it is sequia then the low gas mileage is ok since you dont have to spend that money at the mechanic ...spend it on gas and dont waste money and time repairing the expedition

Great Car and all this infotainment nonsense is getting out of hand, car has to reliable I could care less about screens.

Why you didn’t test the third row space?

Toyota has done a great job with the new Camry and the Corolla hatchback....however these markets are shrinking. They really should be focusing on the SUV market as thats where the market is. I know the new Rav 4 is coming out soon and the fact the old model still sells in outrageous numbers shows how much people love the brand. They really need a new 4Runner and Sequoia and to add the hybrid version of the C-HR.

I wonder why Toyota hasn’t updated the Sequoia like it’s doing to the rest of the lineup. Maybe Toyota knows something we don’t.

With over 160k miles in 10 years of owning a 2008 Toyota sequoia, we've only had to replace the water pump and the radiator. Yes, it's definitely a gas hog and it a bit boring to look at, but we have gotten our moneys worth out of it. Nowadays, this beast just sits outside and only used when we need to haul around the kids. Would I buy a 2018 model? NO. However, if you're looking for the reliability of owing a Toyota sequoia, I would pick up a used leased one.

More like a small school bus than an SUV. That thing is massive for taking kids to soccer games ;)

For all the reliability, I can deal with dated interior. I kind of like simple things like that. That being said, I appreciate the fundamentals more than trends.

Very sadly, the GM and Ford competitors will likely reside in the scrapyard 10 years before this will. In short, this vehicle is 3 tons of reliability.

It would have been nice to see a model that wasn't a base. Which may have made it seem even more dated because it's lack of more tech related features and amenities.

✔ The older ( 2000-06 ) are very reliable and comfortable 👌😉

i have yet to see one on the road

We already know this SUV is older so it's common sense it won't have the fancy tech or stuff like a brand new 2018 model. So to continue to compare it to new cars is pointless. You should spend more time talking about its qualities not things we can already assume.

lol nice park job in the beginning... you are supposed to park between the lines...

Looks like 2008. When is the mew one coming?

Toyota is now the only manufacturer with the most outdated SUV and Truck lineup! Redesign the 4Runner, Sequoia, and Tundra!!

i always said there should be a long wheelbase version.

Toyota had better catch up and start seriously concentrating on its SUVs and trucks....all of which are outdated

1:24 Toronto ftw

Shut up with the bring Zack back, he did a great job.

It is better to use reliable old tech, then those unreliable fancy turbocharged new tech. That's false economy.

Reminds me of the Mitsubishi Lancer. Trying to sell us a 10 year old design with a mild facelift in 2016? Yeah I don't think so.

2020 update..it’s now 2 yrs older

This video is released in the first week of May and the reviewer is dressed for the Iditarod? C'mon Canada, the rest of North America is wearing t-shirts and flip-flop sandals already.....lol.

it's not just a giant tree - it's the tallest tree in the world. Do you have a Yaris at home?

“does it get the style factor” youre in the sr5😂😂 at least review the platinum

What difference old makes, If its still as good or better than others , Who cares when it was designed.look what media did to jaguar shape by crying that it looked same , now it looks like KIA. Rest of the world still buys land cruiser that looks the same as 70's.Why change for sake of changeing. I'm not any brand loyal but you gotta give credit where its due.

This is the Lowest trim

People always bragging about the reliability on these and I get it. However, honestly when the vehicle has been essentially the same for the past 20 years with only slight updates made 10 years ago, i would hope it would be reliable. One would hope you get pretty proficient at putting it together after all those years

Bling or reliability and durability,I'll take RELIABILITY and DURABILITY....I saw a couple of these with 397,000 and 392,000 miles,and they were still purring like a kitten,talk about an IMPRESSIVE vehicle....

Then, buy yourselves a chevy, gmc, ford . I ll still have 04 toyota w 315miles on it , n as soon as i can ll buy again another sequoia. Inm dont care about the unchangin body, it s the heart engine that counts w best engine suspension durability ever.

Needs a redone

Way Better to have a simple design gas hog than extremely complicated endless money pit .

Look Mom a dinosaur!!

Need new dashboard dezign and diesel engine

My brother had this vehicle when it first came out in 2008. It felt outdated right away, he ended up getting rid of it after 3 years.

Body on frame is good .... no such thing as a uni body suv

old and ugly from day one, but you cant kill it . ill take the qx80 (2018) best value in the segment.

The headlights look like 2014, the tailights 2009 aftermarket and the body 2005 "All New" Retire this Jurassic behemoth design.

Toyotas left-behind suv

Car is auto and android

a $90000 turd

Purely negative review

This review is not very reliable with all information. The vehicle model is way older launching in 2001. A fully custom Platinum 2018 Sequoia costs around $65,000. ( No where near 80 or $100,000 ). I personally do enjoy the Sequoia though; however, after comparing my 2005 model to the 2018 not much has really changed on the interior.

can you imagine the horrible fuel economy. big v8 and weighs over 6000lbs. good lord. this thing was outdated 5 years ago.

Terrible interior.

Prefer Zack review car on this channel !!

You can only polish a turd so much.

2018 Toyota Sequoia ? This looks like a 2001 model... Yuk. And at 6000 LBS it's an obese dinosaur. Gas guzzler doesn't begin to describe this monstrousity. Ready to put $150 of gasoline a week in an antiquated ugly SUV ? The Sequoia is for you. lol Oh, and bring Zack back, please.

Love Toyota reliability but I’m getting reeeeaaaalllll tired of the old ass look.

Awful Sequoia, and I'm a Toyota owner of bought new 2014 Toyota HIghlander and 2008 Scion xB.

bring zack back!!!
