2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5

I am a mechanic and I have had several types of cars, but none of the previous ones made me feel so confident and safe, the first generation Toyota sequoia has some problems with the doors and other details that are not serious, but they are all insignificant compared to the reliable mechanics of this SUV, it only needs maintenance and that's all, if I decide to buy another auto Without a doubt it would be Toyota

Just do the maintenance and keep driving.

Front driver's seat room a little short for long legged people, mileage is not good both hauls whatever and pulls my boat very well. At 327,000 miles she didn't earn the name sno-cat for nothing.

Most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned 214,000

I think it’s a great vehicle the door handles break and rear hatch handle needs to be built stronger .also needs better breaks and rotors. If you do the timing belt and water pump change, and oil change when you are supposed to great engine. Just that it has problems with that and it’s very bad on gas mileage. And the oxygen sensors keep going out. But over all my favorite vehicle I’ve ever Had / the old Toyota vans where great too . I will look to buy another one in the future.

Has been very reliable and no trouble.

I could not have ask for a better car. It has been reliable and has performed for me better than any car I have ever owned. That is why I have keep it so long, 17 years.

Great Large SUV

This vehicle was perfect for my needs, very roomy, stylish, reliable. Minimal issues but only after aged 10+ years. Used for family, and transporting sports teams, troupes, etc. Highly recommend it.

Toyota Quality

The car has been excellent for our family. Large enough to seat 8 comfortably. Long vacations and family outings were no problem in this vehicle.

Most Reliable SUV

I bought this 2003 Sequoia new from Mr. Jules Funderburk at Toyota of Easley on November 8, 2002. It currently has 316,000 miles on it and is still running great. It has been the best vehicle I?ve ever owned. It met my needs of transporting teachers and grandchildren, far above my expectations. I have no intentions of selling my Toyota.

This SUV will go forever!

Toyota in general is a very reliable car but this Sequoia is on a different level! My Sequoia had over 240,000 miles on it and it ran like it was a couple years old.

Most reliable car I have ever owned

In 230,000 miles I've replaced the alternator, fan belt and oxygen sensors. That's it! Regular oil changes and tires. this car spent its first 100k miles as a survey crew vechile and towed a utv when in use. The next 130 k were used as a family vechile. Despite my kids best efforts, the Upolstury is still in good condition. A few fuses were replaced only because the kids keep putting pennies in the cigarette lighter. My Toyotas have been so reliable it is the only vechile I will purchase now. I have owned. 3 ford diesels, 1 chevy z71, 1 gmc z71, 1 Nissan Titan 3 hondas 4 Toyotas. And by FAR the hondas and Toyotas are the most trouble free. Toyota is also the most American made vechile on the road.

Best car we have owned!

This car has been great. We have owned it for 10 years, and really had no problems. It has tons of room. The 4WD is great on the snow, and the V8 engine has plenty of power.
