2004 Toyota Sequoia

Pros: Solid feel, Toyota quality, quiet, roomy.
Cons: Visibility, handling.

Toyota's flagship SUV predictably towers over the rest of the field in engineering and quality. My 2004 SR5 4X4 was one of the first in to the dealer and after 12 years of happy 4Runner driving, I thought I was ready to move up. I didn't like the gaudy ...

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: NONE

The 2004 Sequoia is avaliable in 4 different modes; SR5 2 wheel drive, SR5 4 wheel drive, LIMITED 2 wheel drive, and LIMITED 4 wheel drive. The 4 wheel drive models don't ride as well just on the streets, but 2 wheel does. It is VERY smooth. The difference between SR5 and LIMITED is basicly(in my opinion) lights on the foot pannels, and turning signals on the mirrors. We got a rare Blue in SR5, 2 wheel drive and it rides sooo smooth. It can last up to 250,000 miles. We bought it because we had an old 1999 chevy suburban and it broke down at 100,000 miles. I love everything, and I only hate NOTHING

Pros: Quiet, Smooth, roomy, comfortable
Cons: A little more money than the Domestics but it is a Toyota.

After shopping for an SUV to update my '88 Landcuiser (which I still Have) we settled on the Sequoia. Good move. The vehicle has a quiet smooth ride. All the bells and whistles on the SR5 are easy to use and see. Compared to the Tahoe it is a much more solid and comfortable ride. The big kicker is after 8,000 miles the mileage keeps going up. Our last trip over the mountians yieled 18 MPG towing a small boat full of firewood.

I recommend the SR5 over the limited. for 4-6,000 difference the upgrade is not worth it.
