#63 of 162 Is Toyota Really More Expensive????? by nodefect Aug 24, 2002 (4:46 pm)
My Sequoia listed for $45,371.00, I paid 40,260.00. The Yukons and Tahoes I looked at were right there in price. The 03 Expedition was more and the Envoy XL was $40,000.00. I do not see where Toyota is taking advantage. The Toyota has much higher resale!!! So in the life of the vehicle the Toyota is probably cheaper to buy. You already know it is more more reliable.
#64 of 162 suburban or what? by suvjoe3 Aug 28, 2002 (8:44 am)
I've read up on the Suburban, Expedition, Sequoia , Escalde etc. Is the Surburban piston slap issue a real issue or a group of unlucky consumers ? I checked and their is serious complaints across the board on all these SUV's , what am i to believe? Any advice ?
#65 of 162 Reference mess#6 vasyl hp/torque by suvjoe3 Aug 28, 2002 (9:45 am)
Correction Suburbans torque rate is 3254000rpm & Seqouia is 3153400 , the weight difference is right at 253lbs ,roughly one fat guy. I think they are right about equal .

What serious complaints have you read about the Sequoia? Just wondering, because my reading of the GM boards tells me that they have serious problems while the Sequoia board mainly has inconviences.   If you need the size or towing capacity of a Suburban, then you need a Suburban. The Sequoia can't compete in those respects.   If you want a quality built, highly dependable truck, then you go with the Sequoia. GM can't compete in those respects.   Just my observations after owning several GM trucks and one Toyota truck.
#67 of 162 Resale and cost to own by xyz71 Aug 28, 2002 (4:16 pm)
Go to Edmunds new car site- look up Surburban or Sequoia - click on true cost to own -   Some interesting info   The resale of the Surburban (after 5 years) is higher than the Toy - even though the original purchase price is lower.   Overall cost of Surburban (over 5 years and 15K miles per year) is about $2,500 less.

Did they factor in the fact that the Toyota has a better and longer lasting warranty?
#69 of 162 PSCHRECK by xyz71 Aug 29, 2002 (4:06 pm)
Yes - the repair cost is only for items not covered by the warranty.   Go take a look for yourself - it shows all the details - including insurance, interest & taxes   The thing that is a little bit of a shock - total cost per mile is $.66 for the Sub /$.69 for the Toy - not the $.03 difference - but I never really calculated the total cost per mile - Oh well can't take it with you!

I checked the "Problems & Solutions" on the Sequoia , just skimming but I came across a few on Piston Slap issues with their V8 , and major A/C problems ... I have owned 1st & 2nd generation 4runners, trucks, loved them , 2 camrys wonderful , taurus crap ,saturn crap, and a dodge ram 4x4 loved it . I have a family of four ,a 21ft fishing boat and I'm 6'2" ...Toyota is too small and too expensive. I know several GM owners who have had very few problems with their silverados and suburban . This piston slap thing is new to me , I'm planning on buying used in november (2000 model). I'm with you on the toyota dependability/warranty thing , but I think I need bigger and cheaper . UNLESS I can get a 2001 Sequoia for around 26K ??? Set me straight !

Actually, the "piston slap" on the Sequoia has been determined to be the fuel injectors. They like to make noise when it's cold outside until the engine warms up.   The best I can say is that the GM boards are ripe with MAJOR problems. The transmissions in these trucks seem to just about fall out onto the road. My neighbor lost his at 75k. He said GM gave him a voucher for $2k on his next GM purchase. He's bought several trucks from the same dealer.   As for the A/C problems, I haven't had a problem but others have. Certainly not a fun thing to have happen but it beats the heck out of the tranny problems with the GMs.   I don't know about a 2001 for 26k. But if you find one you won't have to worry about buying it used. It is a Toyota.   Have you looked at the Ford products? A buddy of mine got a great deal on a 4WD F-150 PU a couple of months ago. He had bought a used K1500 in December and had lots of problems. The Ford dealer gave him more than he paid for it and sold the F-150 below invoice to him. Of course, that's his story and I have no way of verifying it. I can only take his word.   Good luck whatever you do. Replies to this message: dolphin0 (Feb 11, 2005 8:03 pm)
#72 of 162 Piston slap is real in my Sequoia by wifehasit2 Sep 13, 2002 (4:06 pm)
I have a work order for replacement of a short block that states piston slap. I was originally told it was injectors. I did not buy that crazy story and had to force the issue.
