shark715: We had few 2009 models in Canada but looks like they skipped that year in USA because there was too many 2008 left on inventory.
I think I've read somewhere that someone got a 2009 in California, if it's true that would be extremely rare.

Hey hd. Remarkable to hear that your car runs perfectly. Now I'm also having problems when engagain 4wd. The steering feels like it's going to sieze, then it releases. I'm also having a lot of vibrating thorugh the steering wheel. What else can go wrong? Maybe it's time to get rid of it!

I have a 2008, have 16000 miles and mine was doing the same thing, i think they had to replace the rack and pinon steering. The seals were out of it. It vibrated alot in the steering and always pulled to the right, finally the noise was bad.

Replacement Grill by usma90

I have a 2008 SR5. I have been looking for a billet grill. I found one, but it means cutting into the existing grill. I am not opposed to that, but then I saw the grill on a 2010 Tundra Limited. This new grill is a very nice OEM grill, and almost looks like billet. It is also about $150 cheaper than a billet grill. Does anyone know if the grill from the 2010 Tundra Limited will fit as a direct replacement for my 2008 Sequoia grill? The parts counter guy wasn't a whole lot of help. Thanks for any info.

Need Reassurance!!! by honeyspoilsme

All right all you Sequoia Experts - I need your expert, but more importantly, honest opinion. My husband began his search to replace his 2006 QX56. It is the second one he's owned and we've had no problems with it. After owning Expeditions, Suburbans, Yukons and Yukon XLs, an article persuaded us to look at the QX56 and we were immediately struck by the difference in the quality, ride, performance and creature comforts. Needless to say, we have been extremely pleased and have enjoyed every mile. Now we are looking to replace it and an article persuaded my husband to look at the 2010 Sequoia. We compared the 2010 QX56 and the 2010 Sequoia and preferred the ride, handling and creature comforts of the Sequoia. We also compared the Yukon
XL, Denali, Lincoln, Lexus and Cadillac. They weren't even in the same league as the Sequoia. Here's where YOU EXPERTS come in! Any new opinions on the 2010 Sequoia? Don't be afraid of hurting our feelings - we can take it!!! Thanks for your help.

Sorry to hear about your probelms... but not everyone appears to be having the issues you describe and although I respect your post and the information as it pertains to your specific situation - there usually are more posts about problems than there are no problems (most people don't write about things that work fine - i.e. when was the last time you blogged about the microwave working as it should?)
 
We have a 2008 Platinum 2WD in pearl white ext with redrock interior... It's awesome! We ave about 15,000 miles on it with no problems (I admit I did have a slight whistleing noise that I couldn't figure out at first but turned out to be the aftermarket K&N air filter that wasn't allowing the stock box to close all the way and since they have a much greater airflow than stock air filters, it created a little whistle that you could hear when you really get on it... a little weatherstripping at teh opening of the box to ensure a tight seal and presto - all I hear are 381 ponies now.)
 
We get about 14MPG city and 19 HWY but I did manage to get 22 MPG on a weekend trip to/from Santa Barbara (driving about 75-80) in August and that was fully loaded with family and gear - I think that's pretty respectable mileage for a vehicle like this.
 
The big improvements (that are more nuances than they are problems) are the ability to close the exterior mirrors without the key in the "on" position (shouldn't be required to have the key in at all; and also - make that switch light up - please.
 
Otherwise - our family loves the car - it's luxurious, holds up to my kids climbing all over it - powerful enough for me to grin when I'm on the highway - and safe and reliable for the wife and family.
 
I'm definitely going to consider another Toyota when the time comes for another car - but that may be awhile cause this is gonna last us a good 10 years easy!
 
(and I am not affiliated with Toyota in any way shape or form... I have bult and worked on many different types of cars a lto of 60's and 70's Chevys - Nova's, El Camino's, and a lot of other makes models - Mercedez, Camry, Saturn, Explorer, Jeep Cherokee, Crapolier, Acura TL, and more - The Sequoia is one of the best I have ever owned)
