Toyota Sequoia for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Ultrarefined drivetrain, surprisingly agile handling, versatile and comfortable interior, Toyota reputation for reliability.

Cons

Nondescript styling, comparatively low towing capacity.

What’s new

For 2003, the eight-passenger Sequoia SUV features new 17-inch alloy wheels and tires and an inside rearview auto-dimming mirror as standard equipment on the top-of-the-line Limited grade, and as options on the SR5 model. A rear DVD entertainment system with two cordless headphones, and a load leveling rear suspension are new features available on both Sequoia models.

Edmunds says

A thoroughly capable full-size SUV that beats Ford and General Motors at their own game.

Best money I have spent on a vehicle

Brandon Valentine, 10/25/2015

2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5 Rwd 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 4A)

I bought my 03 Limited with 60k miles. Today I have 175k. I changed the timing belt at 105k (book recommends at 95k). Average 15.7 mpg. It does like to use brake pads, but nothing unexpected from a large SUV. I get it serviced at the dealership and keep the regular maintenance. The rear window motor went $500. It went a year later and I have not repaired it. Other than that this …

A good car but less than I expected

M, 12/17/2009

2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 4A)

Overall the sequoia has been reliable and comfortable for long trips. But it's not the Toyota quality I've come to expect. Not just the car but also the dealer service. I bought without looking at other suvs - mistake. Quality issues: - glass breakage sensor has never worked - gear indicator lights (D, N) burned out - rear window has been fixed 2 times - rear door handle broke on a …

Excellent Used Vehicle Value

Earle, 12/29/2016

2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 4A)

I want to add a review of a used, older vehicle, since I value those reviews. That's also the vehicle market I am in. I generally don't buy new vehicles. Instead, I tend to look for good used vehicles with 100k miles on them that I am confident will get to 200k miles with few problems. As such, I need and value reliable and dependable vehicles. Seems to be for us the most economical …

I love my truck BUT...

Baron, 10/29/2010

2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5 Rwd 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 4A)

I love my Sequoia. I think it is the best looking of the full size SUVs and I usually get 18-20 mpg which is good for an 8 seat SUV. However, I have not found my Toyota to be as well built as my Honda's. I am constantly replacing interior trim pieces that and have replaced all of my interior door handles. My overall maintenance bill his higher with this vehicle than with my Honda's …
