2008 Toyota Sequoia consumer reviews

Too much $$$ for for a truck. Yes this is a truck. I bought a 2008 Platinum. I buy a new vehicle every 2 1/2 Years. My last was a GX 470. I have every availabe option on the Sequoia, the bluetooth is terrible,the road noise is about the same as one of my Ford work trucks, the whole vehicle feels cheaply made. there is no insulation under the hood,in the doors or any where else. The gas milage is about 13.5 overall. I'm thinking about going to the Buick Enclave or Cadillac Esclade and taking the loss . Its a big spacious vehicle but it should be priced in the high $40,000's loaded .I looked a Land Cruiser thought that it did not have much more room than my GX. The 2008 LX is the same size and that loaded is way too expenesive for a vehicle I would keep for under three years.I will say this though. I put 64,000 miles on my GX without putting one dime other than maintance. No new brakes, no new tires, nothing . I beleive that this Sequoia with the right driver will do the same. If Toyota added some frills, changed the dash, and up graded a few things. They will take a lot of customers looking for this size vehicle away from GM and Ford and Infinity.

bought this car for good MPG in the full size SUV market. Boy was i wrong. I average 16 highway and 10 in the city. the exterior is a bit fat and buldgy for my taste. it handles ok i guess for a big truck. it does tend to roll more in corners than the Expdedition and turning could be tighter. the third row is big but not bigger than the Expeditions. The truck accelerates good and have good passing power but still has that slow sluggish feel (which most SUVs have) overall this is a good truck but the Expedition fits me better. I plan to trade it in.

I've been a Toyota fan since my 1985 Celica when I was just 17. Twenty-fours years and nine Toyotas later (including 2 Corollas, a Camry, Sienna, 4Runner, Highlander Hybrid and a 2004 Sequoia), the 2008 Sequoia is clearly my favorite. It's roomy, comfortable and VERY stylish. From the approximately 1000 cup holders, laser cruise control, Navigation system with Bluetooth and backup camera, to the heated and cooled seats, killer sound system and 2nd row captain's chairs, this SUV rocks! I chose the Platinum edition in black with graphite interior. I'd definitely recommend this vehicle: 2 thumbs up!

I was reasearching on big size cars and i finally found the best one. This suv beats ford or any other automaker in the world the power is among the best 0-60 is the same as the turbo charged 400 horsepower land rover range rover. My friend has a surburban with 6.2 vortec max v-8 so we each put a 10,000 pound traler and had a race. my sequoia beat a by a land slide and later we went to a toyota dealer and he traded in his burb for a sequoia and there were alot of ford cars there if you know what i mean.

This is a gas guzzler. The size is intimidating and front looks rugged. However, the exterior and interior design still lacks the luxury feel when compared to other SUV's in the price range. Wood grain and assessories look cheap. Poor acceleration. I settled for the Buick Enclave after test driving the Toyota "Excursion."

The size and aggressive look is the attraction .All the luxury features that one can think of are available at the Platinum level. There are lots of functions and options that are not evident unless you read the manual. Avoid adding options on a lower level as the price is cheaper when you opt for the Limited or Platinum. Very comfortable at any seat and row. You will enjoy the Sequoia when riding on a longer trip with more people to appreciate the space and comfort.
