Coming Soon

Toyota Sequoia 1st Generation

20012007 · XK30/XK40 · suv

First-gen Sequoia shared its body-on-frame platform with the first-gen Tundra. 4.7L 2UZ-FE V8, 4-speed (later 5-speed) automatic, full-time or part-time 4WD on the SR5 and Limited trims. Reputation for drivetrain longevity matched by frame-rust complaints in salt-belt states.

Watch out: Frame rust — Toyota issued an extended warranty / buyback program on certain Tacomas of the same era; Sequoia frames are not covered but suffer similar perforation. Inspect rear frame rails and crossmembers before any purchase.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
