Bought this 2005 Sequoia with 175,000 now has 180000. So far have replaced the radiator, air bags, valve cover gaskets, wheel speed sensors. Those I can live with, the check engine, vsc and trac off lights come on and put vehicle into limp mode and seems like no one knows how to fix it. Very common problem. So much for toyota reliability

13 year old SUV that is still going strong.
Has some cheap parts that break easily, not essential/ more cosmetic, such as rear motor for window and wiper for rear window/ lock and handle for hatch. Comfortable, easy to drive and very roomy. Live the 4WD feature also. Not efficient on gas. No real issues with the vehicle, very reliable.

This is a family vehicle that anyone can enjoy.
This car sure is comfortable. It sits high so that you can get a good view of the road. It also has heated seats on cold days. It has power windows that go up and down when car is too hot in the south Florida weather. The girls drink a lot of gas and you lot of gas I guess but if you have a full load of people in you are worth it. Clc mission is nice and cold. With lots of trunk space and I can carry these items and little items with no problems and I love the roof rack in case something cannot fit inside the car. Thank god for this vehicle!

Engine troubles for a sequoia
The vehicle is a well functioning car for the majority of the time, but has days where it either won't start or starts and then just stops. The doors have come to the point where one doesn't open and the other requires a lot of elbow grease. The rest of the car works fine

The awesome Toyota sequoia 2005.
The 2005 Toyota sequoia is an awesome ride for both family or single lifestyles!! It is spacious enough for 8 adults or take some of the back seats out and lots of room for cargo. It is very durable and reliable. I do not regret choosing this vehicle!

Toyota sequoia is reliable and it is a must have for every family.
I love my Toyota sequoia. I have been driving it for over 10 years and the engine is still running good. I have not run into any problems since I have this car. It is extremely safe and very reliable. My next car I will still going for Toyota sequoia.

Wonderful features of the Toyota sequoia.
Smooth highway drive, very safe vehicle to drive, if SUV is maintained no major problems. Downside, does not get good gas mileage. Third row seat is a great feature, everyone fits easily in the vehicle. Lots of storage space for groceries, kids sports stuff, exc. Wonderful SUV and I highly recommend it, I will be purchasing another one in five years!

Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Very, very low maintenance and easy to work on.
This is our family's primary vehicle, and it is an absolute rock in terms of reliability. It fits the whole family, is extremely safe, and comfortable. If only it got even slightly better gas mileage.

It is a family, safe, built to last, superb SUV. Take care of it and it will take care of you.
I love how reliable and dependable it is. I love how it accommodates my large family and can use it for moving, camping, beach, etc. The only complaint is that the spare tire is under the back of the car, for me it makes it inconvenient, I wish it had it in a more convenient location.

Overall Toyota brand is reliable to drive and long lasting car.
It is big and comfortable to seat, but too expensive to put gasoline to drive. Minor break down once vehicle get to 100, 000 miles. Easy to flip if turning fast be caution. Overall performance is ok to drive in long distance travels. Sensor keeps flashing on tire even though fix it already. Computerize glitches.

" The best made car on the road".
My car is well made, very few recalls. If you maintain your car it will last you a lifetime. Toyota is one of the best cars on the road. They are very comfortable even on a long road trip. So, do not think twice about any of the different models that Toyota makes.

This car has the potential to exceed the manufacturers expectations if properly maintained.
Despite the problems I have had this vehicle has been really great. One issue has been that I have had to replace the water pump. Another is the parking brake light will come on while driving and most sites that I looked up this issue on reported lots of heartache in trying to get it resolved. The car still runs and the brakes still work. I recently took it in for a recall on the airbags and when I got it back it was running really poorly and the check engine light was on which wasn't on before taking it in. The error was stating an issue with one of the cylinders misfiring. After doing some research and talking with a local mechanic I ended up replacing the spark plugs and everything is running great now. If I only do freeway driving I can get over 300 miles to the tank. The car came with a DVD player installed and the kids love it. It also comes with a 6 disc vs player allowing for many portions for music. It is an older car with over 150000 miles but still runs great.

Repair/replacement history.
Seems to be a fairly reliable vehicle. My wife passed away 3 years ago and I have put probably 18000 miles on Toyota without any major problems. I have put 4 new tires on it. I get approximately 28 miles to the gallon. Had timing belt replaced about 6 months ago. This is only actual mechanical job needed on this vehicle.

How awesome it is. It's four-wheel-drive, Toyotas are amazing. Driving down right.
I love that it's four-wheel-drive. I love that I can fit eight people. I love how much c**p I can carry inside of it.

Great gas mileage for its size plus a Toyota which are the best.
Roomy and modern does well here in the country I love everything about it actually, color and it is comfortable I can fit all my grandkids in it and does good on gas.

It delivers on power and comfort. Have never worried about being stranded or not being able to make it up hills. Children always have room even in the third row.
Sequoia has plenty of room and sits well. Has minor mechanical issues. Most problems stem from the hatch.

Extra space and easy to customize seating inside
My 2005 Toyota Sequoia SR5 is just what we needed for our family with seating for 7 passengers it gives us some extra room. The two back row seats fold up easily to give some extra room. They are also very easy to remove to give you the whole cargo area free. I have issues with the four wheel drive being stuck in limbo between on and off.

Others should now that my car is very good for traveling. My car can carry many things so you have enough space for your luggage and for your family
I love how it has a very big space to store stuff inside your vehicle. It also has lots of space for your feet, unlike other cars, like the Mazda 3. I don't like how my car has gotten old and is very rubbish
CJ D

Plenty of room for a growing family and friends. It is very convenient to have room for 8 in the car when we take day trips.
This car is perfect for my family of five. When my three children get older we will have room for their friends when we go to events, camping, etc. We are also able to tow a good amount behind the car (trailer). There is nothing I dislike about this car. If were going to choose another car I would just get a newer Sequoia.

Sequoia is the safest most reliable vehicles, I have ever owned
It's the safest more reliable vehicle I've ever owned. 243,000 and runs like a champ. I have no leaks. Purrs like a kitten. In the winter with snow I pop it into 4x4 and drive with no problems. I recommend this vehicle to anyone especially a parent as it is spacious and reliable.
Charlotte B
on May 16, 2020
High mileage, great car. Could have better gas.
This vehicle has a smooth drive as long as maintenance is kept up. I have not only put my money into buying the vehicle but into the work as well. It is a great car for having high mileage, we have personally put almost 10, 000 miles, it is around 201, 000 miles total. It has only needed oil change and tires since we've bought it. I am replacing the brakes and rotors now which have not been changed since who knows how long.

Comfortable and reliable!!
Most reliable car that I have ever owned!! This is a must for large families. We have owned many cars and SUVs and this one has never given us a problem. We purchase it new and 13 years later we still love it. Third row seating is large enough to be comfortable.

The best reliable vehicle
My Toyota Sequoia is very reliable and runs good. The only problem that I've had with my truck is the ball bearings broke twice. Other than that I love my truck. It's very spacy and I was able to remove my back seats and move ALL of my belongings to another home. There's so much room I was able to lay a full size mattress and the box along with 4 tubs of clothes in it. This truck has tremendous space and it doesn't even look huge. I had a van before getting my Toyota Sequoia and it didn't have half the space of this truck.

Best vehicle made out there!
My sequoia has been the best car purchase ever. Its seats are extremely comfortable. I have had no mechanical issues. Have had to replace back door handle. I have 180,000 miles on it and can't wait to hit 300,000. It is the perfect size. Not too big and not too small. I enjoy the third row seats. I can take them out if need extra room. The second row seats recline which is bonus.
Stacey C

The most important thing others should know about my car is that it is reliable.
The thing I like most about my Toyota is that it has great mileage. I also like that it has not failed me so far and it is big enough to hold my family. One thing I do dislike is the radio because it is not modern but that really isn't a huge concern for me. I am very thankful for my car and I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family.
Heather T

It has three rows and is comfortable.
The only problem I have had is the back window button keeps sticking and the controls for the seat go out real easy. It is a three row which I love because we have five kids! The seats are comfortable and have a lumbar support that is adjustable. It also has an ac control for the back that comes in handy.

My car is silver but I customized it with all black on the inside.
It is very comfortable and I haven't had any problems. It is a silver car and it is very spacious as well. I wish the back seat was a little bigger but it is very manageable. No one has ever complained about the size and many people have actually complimented me.

The amount of seats are very good and the model is what I like.
It is getting pretty old. It has broken down a few times and the oil needs to be changed pretty regularly. The car takes a lot of gas but the amount of seats in the car is good since I can drive more people and have more space to put more things in my car.

The ear air bag suspension is pretty awful on the Limited model. I would recommend looking for a basic SR5, or an SUV with springs instead.
I do love the space it offers the third row, and the DVD player. However, we have had a LOT of problems with the rear suspension system and computer system which has amounted to costing more than what we paid for the vehicle itself.

Luxury full size SUV Toyota.
Has lots of room for hauling things. Plenty of room to spread out. Has third row seating. Have sunroof, air conditioning, electric seats. Four wheel drive. I have had very few problems with this vehicle. The gas mileage is about 18mpg. Only problem is the tire sensors are very easy to break.

Astounding Durability: the car has held up over 14 years and 3 boys.
This is a very durable car. It has been used by my father, then my older brother, and now me. It is a little beat up now but still runs with no problems. It is a great car for a young person because of all the room and how durable the car is. The car doesn't get the best mileage however since it is so old. Also, after all the years of use the inside is starting to fall apart. The seats are starting to rip from use and the upholstery has seen better days. There was one problem with the airbags, buy Toyota fixed it for free because it was their fault. The car's features are rather rudimentary. It has a radio, CD player, and a tape player. The seats are all perfectly comfortable and there is ample leg room for almost anyone. Overall the car has held up fairly well for 3 different owners and 14 years of time. Great car.

I love my Sequoia
I have an 05 Sequoia with over 280k miles and still rolling. It's been a great vehicle for my family and I. I plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. The maintenance hasnt been an issue for me. I have have had to replace the water pump and radiator but for a car 14 yrs old that's to be expected at some point. Now like most Sequoias thr switch that controls the rear windows, defroster and wiper hasnt worked in years but I can live w that. I keep the oil changed w synthetic oil and she keeps rolling w no issues. This is a great and reliable vehicle. Definitely a fan of Toyota SUV's. Prior to this I owned a Land Cruiser thatvI eventually passed down to my son.
Lindsey S

Great car for a family but bad on gas mileage.
It is really comfortable. I like the feature where the seat can be adjusted higher or lower as well as back or forward. I have not had this vehicle long, but it seems to run well. It has not had a problem with maintenance so far. It speeds up much more quickly than my old Honda Accord. It is very hard to back up compared to my little Accord I feel like cannot see anything behind me. However it is in much better repair it is also really nice to drive with my baby. It seems more sturdy. I believe also like that the heat and air conditioning can change from the back to the rear when I put on rear control, my daughter can adjust the air to best suit her and my other kids. My only complaint is the gas mileage. It seriously increased our gas budget. I work about 25 minutes away and I'll spending about $100 a week on gas. We're thinking of testing it in for a more gas efficient vehicle despite everything else I love about it.

My vehicle has 280,000 miles on it and runs great.

No space 2005 Toyota Sequoia
It drives fine. Fuel efficiency is actually not bad considering it is a V8. However, other mechanical issues make it so I am not a total fan of the vehicle. The back window won't go up and down, won't defrost, and the back wiper won't work. The heater/AC dials are "spin dials" and they have not worked well for some time. Just a couple of days ago the speed of air dial dust stopped working all together. You can turn the heat/AC on, but it has to be full force. The stock radio dials have issues as well. You go to turn the radio down, and all of a.sudden it is blaring loud. For a vehicle that seats 8, there is next to no storage space for those 8 people.

Good car not a lot of problems for the most part, but my dashboard lights came on & the dealership do not know or cannot explain why they couldn't get the lights off. Molle Toyota still charged $1500.00 & problem not fixed, rip off. Great vehicle for getting around in the snow.

I love the spacious backseat and extra passenger space in the 3rd row.

Toyota sequoia make an outstanding family SUV.
My 2005 Toyota sequoia is a great family SUV. Gas mileage could be better but, it is able to fit at least seven people comfortably and still has room for bags. I have the two wheel drive model really wish I would've gotten the four wheel drive just because we like to vacation in the snow. Only thing I had upgrade to make the car perfect was I had to install an aftermarket touchscreen stereo and have them install a back up camera. I do plan on adding a large roof rack so we will be able to carry more luggage we go on trips. This SUV has never let me down.
Kate G
on December 19, 2018
Thianisba Very comfortable large SUV. We take this on all our road trips and everyone is comfy.
I have the medium package on the sequoia. I love the three rows, leather interior and the fact that it has 150,000+ miles and still runs great. The downside is after having kids, I've realized some limitations on ease of car seat pavements and other passengers as well as the small trunk space when all three rows are being used.
Sandra F

Toyota's are great vehicles.
I have always had Ford vehicles. I recently got a Toyota and I love it. I haven't had any problems since I got the SUV and that was 3 years ago. It has a mileage of a little over to 200, 000 and it is still running really good. I even traveled to Illinois from new Mexico in it and it still runs like a champ. It even has lights that help me out on what needs to be fixed even if the sir in the tires are low a light will start blinking just to let me know. It is a good truck.

Spacious and reliable family vehicle.
I bought my Sequoia new almost 12 years old and it has only required repair one time. It has been reliable and an excellent family car. It is very roomy and has a decent sized third row that still allows adequate space in the "trunk" area. It drives great and i plan on driving it another few years.

It has three rows and the seats lift up to allow more room.
It has no CD player, only a cassette player. It also does not have anywhere to plug in a phone to listen to music from your phone. Other than that I like it pretty much. We just need something that is more updated.
