Toyota's are rock solid

This is my second sequoia, my son still drive #1, it has 275,000 miles on it and just keeps on going. #2 my current sequoia is rock solid, 95K miles, drives like new. Tows my 5,000 pound boat with no issues. Geat 4 wheel drive, super snow mountain car. very comfortable on trips. only downside is MPG I get about 15 mpg.

Awesome large SUV

Best sport utility vehicle I’ve ever owned, top notch quality compared to Expeditions and Tahoes. Great ride and handling, engine is superb, and towing is impressive.
