  • I love my 03 Sequoia - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    We bought our o3 Sequoia new and have put over 105K on it since. My wife loves it and doesnt want anything else. I never thought shed adjust so easily to such a large vehicle--no problem. The thing is rugged--we hit a guard rail at about 60 mph when we first got, and although it did considerable damage, we felt completely safe--it could have been MUCH worse. This was the only 4 wheel drive that could get out of our neighborhood during this winters blizzard in Northern VA. Our neighbors were cheering us as we blazed a trail up the street. Id consider getting a new one--if I could get my wife to give up her old one!!!!

  • My 12th Toyota - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    Ive owned several other makes, but keep coming back to Toyota. Our Nissan minivan served us well, but started falling apart at 100,000 mi. My Toyota truck has well past 100,000 mi and Ive only had to do basic maintenance. My expectations are that this Sequoia will serve equally well. Its big, but not too big, decent fuel economy for its size/weight, and the crash ratings are excellent (5 stars front and side). Ill keep buying Toyotas because theyve proven to me to be stout, dependable, predictable, and my kids cant break them!

  • Oh what a Feeling - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia, bought it new and at approx 8,000 miles it now has a pecking noise in the engine. I have had it back to the dealership several times and they tell me that it is a design flaw in the engine called "PISTON SLAP". It sounds like a diesel engine. Have contacted California with no success. Does Toyota really stand behind their products? What a feeling to ride in a pecking $40,000 vehicle. Their response is you still have a lot of warranty left. If it started pecking a approx 8,000 miles and still doing it at 13,000 miles by the time it has 50,000 miles it will be junk.

  • The best mid size suv - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    After 22k miles and several long trips towing our boat, I am comfortable writing that the Sequioa is a dependable and hard working truck. I would buy another one without hesitation.

  • Outstanding - 2003 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    We have had the Sequoia for three weeks. The Limited looks for 2003 are beautiful. The interior is refined and comparable to LX470. I see no real difference between the two except the lesser $20,000.00 price and the fact we have much more room. We look forward to years of pleasure driving it. My only complaint is that I never get to drive it as my wife beats me to it. She has left for IS300 to me though.

    This car is so huge it took me a month to be able to park it! :) But it was all worth it. My whole family loves it, its the most flexible car weve ever owned, it meets all our needs.
