Explore the 2002 Toyota Sequoia

Spacious and dependable

The Sequoia is a great choice for those needing extra space. It has plenty of room for the family. I like how all the rear seats can be reclined/adjusted. My son loves the rear storage compartments and cup holders. Gas mileage is what you expect from a V8. I get 16.2/avg mostly city driving. My one and only complaint is I?m all legs and the drivers seat just doesn?t go back far enough for me. I feel like my legs are a little crammed. Not too bad, but I drove a 2018 Ford Expedition and the driver seat went back so far I could hardly reach the pedals, I like that kind of movement range. The coolest thing about the Sequoia is the back window rolls down, which can also be operated from outside the vehicle by holding the key in the lock/unlock position on the rear tailgate. My particular model is the SR5 with factory TRD grille and badging, BBS wheels and Borla dual exhaust. It?s a great looking SUV and a good value for the money. I?ve seen several of these for sale with 400,000 miles on them still running like new.

Reliable family packing - boat hauler - commuter

This was the perfect vehicle for me. This was transferred to me by my parents in college. It has been in the family since new. This truck/suv has filled all of our needs in taking the family to the beach, hauling the boat, or moving. It has been my daily driver and I couldn't be happier with the power, safety, and reliability my Toyota Sequoia offers.

Always faithful.

Headline said it all. Toyota has always been a great vehicle. Even with high miles, they never let you down. I?ve owned 8 other Toyotas from Tacomas to Tundras. This Sequoia is the same. Safe and reliable.

Trusted Family Hauler and Tow Vehicle

Began as a family hauler that was later used to tow boats and recreational vehicles. Been very dependable for our family for the past 16 years. Big vehicle with a great, smooth ride. Can fit the whole team comfortably. Have I mentioned how reliable she has been?

Most reliable car I ever owned

Plenty of room, powerful engine, comfortable, great towing ability, Third raw seats. Toyota Sequoia SUV is most appreciated when asked to haul numerous passengers and their belongings over vast distances

Best travel SUV ever.

Bought to use on long trip with 8 persons. Served its purpose very well. Everyone was very pleased with comfort and conditions.

I wanted to find out what was all wrong with it

The trunk was tricky, but the vehicle looked good, didn't have good fuel mileage, needed new tires, I was ready to purchase it after I found out exactly why the check engine light was on! Very spacious!

Think Tundra with 8 passengers and comfort.

Sequoia has a ton of features. Rear wheel with push button 4 wheel, great air, heat, and ventilation, tows heavy loads, huge sun roof, etc. The "Limited" model has it all! We have 190k on and still looks and runs real nice.
