#23 of 72 Silver SR5 by nighter50 May 11, 2001 (1:42 am)
Ok, I took the plunge. Picked up my new 4X4 this evening and I am very excited. I hope that this first year truck holds up for a while. The whole way home I kept trying to hear if it ticks or not. Just listening for it will drive you crazy! Finally just cranked up the JBL and enjoyed the ride! Thanks all for your information and insight.
#24 of 72 Assessories for Sequoia Limited by rleonard May 13, 2001 (3:12 am)
Where do I find Bumper/Brush Guard and under hood light for my Toyota?

Ahhhh. Finally. After months of patiently searching for a Red Pearl (we live in Philadelphia), we found one. SR5. Demo model with a couple thousands of miles in it - frankly we don't care - they break-in the car for us. At a price we can't refuse ($35,500 fully loaded except PM). Whatever. It's a wonderful SUV. Better, much better, than the Tahoe that we had. This is super exciting. And yes, the booming bass can be annoying.   Gil.

10,000 miles later only one complaint with my 4x2 LTD. Rides great on long trips. Pulled a ski boat(3000-4000lb)without any problems. Gas mileage 16-17.5 mixed city highway, glad fuel here in Georgia is 1.27 per gallon and falling. Happy to join the owners club. I look forward to reading future posts. The one problem I have is not covered under warranty. How do I get the keys from my wife? Yes my wife has it right now.
#27 of 72 To buy or not to buy... by gohabsgo Jul 24, 2001 (11:37 am)
Finally after testdriving the Navigator, Expedition (both too bulky), MB / BMW (no cargo space), and '02 Mountaineer (very nice), I'm settling on the '01 Sequoia Limited and today offered the dealer $500 over invoice.   Question: Anyone know anything about the '02 Sequoia's? Will they incorporate AWD? Realizing from all the posting, there seems to be some quality issues and you know the next model will address these.   Currently driving a '97 Mountaineer and really loved it. Only 36k miles on it so contemplating selling it outright or go for a high trade. Really wish other SUV's like the Mountaineer had the keypad entry. Because of this little feature, may end up with the '02 model.   Should I or should I not go with the Sequoia not thats the 40k question...
#28 of 72 Our Jolly Green Giant!! by limey2 Aug 13, 2001 (7:57 am)
We brought our Jade Green beauty home on June 10th.over a period of 20 years we have purchased nothing but American Made cars and trucks,and are sad to say have been disapointed in the reliability and workmanship of these vehicles,our 1997 Jimmy made us fall in love with the SUV,but gave us so many problems that even my husband, who is a ASE Master Mechanic finally gave up the ghost.The last straw came on one of our freqent trips to nearby Nashville Speedway,we spent the entire time cringing at the Check Engine Light glowing brightly at us.We decided to look at other options as far as auto makers went,and did some research on-line,the result was a visit to a Nashville Toyota dealer to initially look at 4-Runners,at this point we were not even aware of the Sequoia,and it was love at first sight!!.We test drove both the SR5 and the Limited,but I was not keen on the Limiteds' roof spoiler and Leather seats,I am one of those peculiar people who would rather sit on a seat of nails than "leather" upholstery.3 hours later we had our "Jolly Green",and oh what a joy this Toy is,attention to detail is obvious,no rattles or sqeaks,a joy to drive and heaven to ride in.My husband checked out the engine(and my hubby knows engines!),and he was very impressed at the set up and the design of same,we ran in the engine and last month my hubby drove to Texas to take care of some buisness for his parents,he said the drive was not long enough for the pleasure he got from this vehicle,its my turn this month,and though I am not fond of long trips where I have to do the driving,I can't wait for this one!.I am taking the 'Jolly Green' in for it"s first oil change next week,my hubby say's it is best to let the Dealer do the services for the life of the Warranty,just to be on the safe side.We have not found 1 negative with this vehicle and believe me we have looked,our gas mileage is averaging just over 18,and that's around town.We love this vehicle so much that last month we bought a Avalon!,but that's another wonderful story.Thanks Toyota,you have restored our faith!!!.

#30 of 72 Bridgestone tyres by ryta Nov 27, 2001 (7:59 pm)
Hi folks...bought my 4 x2 this w/end, and very pleased so far...however, I only noticed Monday that it came with Bridgestone/Firestone tyres. Don't laugh..when we were examining the car, there was a hell of a rain storm..in San Diego!I forgot to check the tyres, and anyway would never have expected Toyota to use them given all the flack with Ford. Do all Sequoia's come with these tyres, and has anyone been able to have them switched? Thanks.
#31 of 72 Finally... My first SUV ! by r_viswanath Dec 17, 2001 (9:13 pm)
It's been a long journey... but the destination was worth it. I started cursorily looking at Lexus RX 300 and Nissan Pathfinder. Got to the final stages of negotiation on the Pathfinder LE six months ago... My wife was hell bent on the ML320. I was not overly excited with the cost/ performance value of the ML. So we decided to hold off.   Then 3 weeks ago, we restarted the hunt looking at Yukon vs Sequoia vs a used 1999 LX470. Not impressed with the Yukon in terms of drive-ability and/or price points. The LX470 was a gem, but had 16K miles on it. More importantly, it turned out to be from Canada (had speedometer in km/hr !). Then we test drove the Sequoia - it was close to the LX470 in terms of ride (obviously the LX exuded luxury when you set foot inside !). Poured through all the technical specs and our demands and decided that we wanted a 2WD (we are not adventurous enough to take this expensive vehicle off Road), alloy wheels, preferred package and Desert Gold color.I called up the dealer's Fleet dept and told him what I need. He searched through the state to locate and after three days closed a three way trade to get me what I wanted.....   Here's what we got - 4x2, alloy wheel package, CC, fog lamp, keyless, dual AC, gold package, Convenience package... Price was $750 over invoice. Closed the deal Saturday and drove it home. Simplest negotiation ever.   I am contemplating adding wood trim and leather seats. Have done my research and am in the negotiation phase. It appears that I am able to add leather for a lot less than the preferred package. Should have some $ left over for adding a CD changer! Will let you folks know how it goes.   If you need recomendations on my dealer in Phoenix, let me know.   Cheers
#32 of 72 31,000 by marksue1 Dec 21, 2001 (2:18 pm)
Well, our Red SR-5 4x4, which we purchased in Feb. '01, has turned 31,000 miles this week.   We change the oil at the local Toyota dealer every 3K. No problems at all so far. We love it.   Anyone out there have more miles on one yet?
