This Year's Model Updates:

The Sequoia is virtually unchanged for 2002. SR5 models have two additional stand-alone options this year: keyless remote and front foglamps.

Pros:
  • Ultra-refined drivetrain, surprisingly agile handling, versatile and comfortable interior, impeccable build quality.
Cons:
  • Non-descript styling, comparably low towing capacity.

  • Great Truck - 2002 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    Ive had the SUV for almost a year now and I love almost everything about it. The only thing that bothers me is the loud noise when you have the rear windows rolled down. Also more power would be great. Before I bought it I was also looking at the Chevy Tahoe because I have a GM card and get points towards a vehicle but I decided to go with the Sequoia because it is more reliable and its a Toyota. I here people complain that you cant drive over 100 miles per hour, well you shouldnt be driving that fast with such a big vehicle in the first place. Theres never going to be a car that is perfect but this one is close enough.

    Solid "feel" when driving on highway. Very responsive for an SUV. Responsive braking. Very nice interior in the Limited edition. Extremely quiet.

  • Great Vehicle, but something is missing - 2002 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    This is an extemely reliable and safe purchase in the large SUV class. However, for $40K, something is missing. I test drove the loaded Highlander and felt like it had a much classier appeal.

  • Wow what a vehicle! - 2002 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I have owned my Sequoia since new and have just rolled over 300,000 Miles! This vehicle has been a real workhorse with 5 kids (4 girls - imagine the luggage) and numerous vacations. It has never let us down! The only mechanical issues I have had has been replacement of rear wheel seals twice and front ball joints (due to recall). I cant say enough good things about this vehicle. When clean, it still looks new inside and out. I have never garage kept, but paint in excellent shape. I have found that the rear door window is often faulty, but it is usually not the motor as youll see on other posts. About 200k miles ago, I put some dieelectric grease in the motor connector prob. solved.

  • Oh what a feeling - 2002 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    This is a great truck. I love the ride, the room and the looks and the performance. I checked out the comp. and the Yukon Denali costs more and its interior is too cheap and plastic looking. The Fords ride was very unappealing. I have found the wind noise from the front window molding to be irritating, Im told they are working on a fix. The thermometer is not accurate when it gets colder than -22. The dealer doesnt tell you that they have a governor that kicks in at 100mph. We have had ours for about a year now and these are my gripes for now. This may sound negative but its not we love the truck just some bugs need to be addressed.

  • Excellent for Trailer boaters. - 2002 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    We pull about 4700 lb. boat/trailer and have used the Sequoia on some very steep/wet ramps. 4wd high works great and 4-low with loc-up will pull you out of anything. With 3, preteen boys, we enjoy the extra room and look forward to using this vehicle for many years to come.

  • Bigger and Better - 2002 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I admit, I am a Toyota fan. This is my forth Toyota. We had a Rav4 and wanted something bigger. We loved the feel of an SUV, but needed more room. We test drove it after trying out a 4Runner and there is no comparison. More room, more power and great handling.

  • U cannot judge with one bad experience - 2002 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    How can u beleive the car sales guy. I think this vehicle is an excellent city ride and freeway ride and good off-road ride with 4X4.

  • 2002 4WD Sequoia - 2002 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    Bought new in 2002 and now have 110K miles on vehicle with little problems. After 2 years, rear window got REAL sluggish, so we left it up for a year afraid it would break. Toyota told us they had replaced a lot of motors. Waited one year, did nothing, works fine now. Too big to really go brush busting but wife likes it. I prefer my 1985 Land Cruiser. Parking brake stinks and truck lurchs forward after applying brake on slight incline. 3 weeks after brake service can drive 55 mph with parking brake on before realizing its on. Sister bought an 06, no parking brake problem. Mileage improved after 100K. Now we get 16.6 mpg in Georgia. Only get 6 mpg pulling 3500 pound boat though.
