  • Reluctant sell BMW for a sequoia - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I must admit i hated parted with my BMW 5 series but after driving a sequoia i must say it was worth it. This car is great, I think this is the best suv for the money although it is a little pricey

  • One Satisfied Customer - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I have leased and driven (4) Ford Explorers over the past ten years and figured I would only drive Explorers forever. When my lease was nearing an end last month, I figured I look around at the competition. I drove the Volvo XC90, BWM X5 , VW Touareg, the latest Explorer and the Toyota Sequoia. Hands down, the Sequoia impressed me the most...and continues to every day.

  • Love My Reliable Soccer Taxi - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    While the Sequoia is not great on gas mileage, it has by far been the most reliable vehicle Ive owned. I bought a 2004 SR5 brand new and kept the oil changed. It still starts instantly like it did over 10 years ago. Ive taken my teenage boys and their teammates to tournaments, and everybody sat comfortably with enough cargo space for luggage and soccer backpacks. I have replaced the battery, shocks ,struts, and brakes. I have never replaced the timing belt, and it has almost 300,000 miles on it. I have had 3 drivers run into me while sitting still and this vehicle has kept me safe. My DVD player has never been great from day one. The movies get stuck in the player. The radio volume button has stopped working properly. The motor of the back window wiper has died. Neither Toyota or the dealership notified me of the ball bearing recall. Thank God I wasnt traveling at a high speed when mine broke. The arm rest is broken and the seat cushion has torn on the drivers seat. Ive owned Chevy, Ford, Nissan, and Infiniti. The Toyota has given me fewer problems and better performance than all of them.

  • Cabin too noisy - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    Overall I enjoy the vehicle, but at that price I should love it. The pros are its roominess,car-like ride and easy handling. But its access to the third seat is very challenging, the cabin should be quieter and a cargo cover cost $200. But it does have a nice presence amongst other cars on the road.

  • 04 Sequoia - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    Researched new vehicles in this catagory. The Sequoia has the best resale and does not lose its value such as the Expedition and the Escalade. It has a five star rating for resale, Not that Im getting rid of mine anytime soon. I love the room it provides, and drives as nice as a luxury car.

  • Poor Workmanship - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    This is the 3rd Toyota Ive owned. The Seqoia build quality is poor and has several flaws: 1)no interior handle for opening the rear hatch gate 2)door latches fail frequently if exposed to dust - i.e if you leave the pavement 3)various interior plastic parts/covers fall off 4)paint scratches very easily 5)CD player has broken twice

  • Amazing - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I bought my Sequoias right off the delivery truck. it had .02 miles on it when i got behind the wheel. I love it. I must admit, however, that I have had some big trouble with it. At 12,000 miles the brakes needed to be replaced and the compressor for the a/c quit. Again at 19,000 the brakes were bad. The service writer told me that this was a design flaw, and replaced my brakes with Land Cruiser brakes. They tell me that the sequopia was jsut to heavy for the original braking equipment. All issues have been adressed and I couldnt be happier. Heck, I get 14.8 MPG around town!!!

  • Sequoia - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    It is an excellent vehicle with roomy spaces for 8 passengers. It is also a well-designed vehicle.

  • Great SUV - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    I have own many SUVs over the years. I always wanted to drive American (this SUV is buildt in America). Toyota is great best in class. The little know fact that it runs on Reg. Unleaded gas is a day to day savings. The truck handle very well in Snow when FWD is used. For the price and value very much worth the look.

  • Best SUV Out There - 2004 Toyota Sequoia
    By -

    We hunted high and low for an SUV that was big enough to hold kids and dogs but that was not too big to take up too much room in the garage. We found it in the Toyota Sequoia!
