just a friendly reminder
4 wheel drive helps you get started and keeps you from getting stuck, it doesn't help you to stop. In fact, the Sequoia, being as heavy as it is, doesn't stop as well as most cars. Seems like common sense but a lack of understanding this basic principle is why you see so many people in 4X4s driving at unsafe speeds in snow and ice.
About to buy
Size: Seq is bigger than the LC
NVH: LC slightly better than Seq.
Build quality: LC better than Seq.
Luxury features: LC is better slightly
Engine HP: Seq has 280hp vs LC's 235hp
Sequoia LTD = 2WD & 4WD; LC = 4WD only
Similar drivetrain
Price: xxxx
Your choice....
Driving over a RR track..........VIBRATION
Your mother-in-law...............HARSHNESS

SR5 2wheel drive cloth seats, tow hitch included... very very happy. We went to Hayward Toyota after calling a ton of places from San Jose to Roseville and calling a bunch of places as well. Mark Maki at Hayward Toyota wins big time. It was so pleasant of a sale. We got it only $1000 over invoice and with the rebate we will be under invoice probably. I am very pleased.
Anyways anyways to help pay off the loan we are planning to start towing horses for people for a nominal fee. Someone mentioned getting an equilizerhitch and good brake controller like prodigy. Does anyone know of a good horse trailer that works safely with the Sequoia?
In the case of the Sequoia the difference is 300 pounds (6,200 VS 6,500)
But - a few points to consider.
If you will ever be driving in crummy weather (and who doesn't) - a 4x4 is nice towing or not.
If you will always be on hard surface roads and parking lots - a 4x4 is not that important - but I have seen more than a few 2wd trucks (with a trailer) stuck because they had to park in overflow parking (out on the grass after a rain) also seen many foolish 2wd SUV's stuck at soccer tournaments even though they were not pulling anything. Although in this situation having good tires is almost as important as having 4WD.
IMO - if you are going to tow on a regular basis (say more than 1 per month) & if the 300 pounds less towing capacity of the 4x4 puts you over the tow rating of the truck then you need a bigger truck anyway.
Thanks
New tires on the rear (highest traction should ALWAYS be at the rear), worn ones on the front. 4X4 mode became hard to get into and out of until I learned the procedure.
The dealer wanted 300-400 to fix and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and/or anyone can direct me to how to get into the back panel to change the handle myself.

Thanks
Our local dealership had the same attitude as yours so we just shopped online and had a great experience at a dealer 65 miles away. Good luck.
Hope this helps you,
THD.
Thanks for your help

1) with side air bags for the first row seat (driver and passenger) is it an option?
2) curtain air bags for first row is it an option?
3) curtain airbags for second row seats, does it exist, is it an option?
I don't want to keep on trying to find something that is not even offered.
our budget is around $20,000.
Thank you for any reply.
I will apreciate any comments
You just did it -- twice! Way to go!

I too received the buy back letter on a 2003. Tranny seems to NOT go into 2nd gear until 60+ MPH.
Also had 3 windshields installed from stress cracks. Anyone else have this problem?
Maybe they are just trying to increase sales, You know you have to keep up with the neighbors and get a new car every 2-3 years or you are the talk of the town.
Next auto will be a Nissian, I have two trucks with NOT even one problem and one has 85,000 miles the other 133,000 miles on them.
I have a '01 limited and am still running the origional battery, but am thinking about replacing it because I HATE breakdowns on the road!
You brakes? Need the rotors turned for the second time. Is that since the last brake job? When was that? If you have 79,000 on your brakes! WOW!
I had mine turned once between brake jobs but found I had better luck if I used Toyota brakes than aftermarker ones. Less squeel when you come to a stop.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Good price at Costco and just tires matched their price here in sacramento.
It does make you wonder if the recent incentives were offered in anticipation of the recall announcement. :shades:

I have an 02 Sequoia SR5 4WD with 22,000 mi.
Lately I have noticed how difficult it is to turn the wheel while steering, almost laboring.
Anyone notice similar behavior?
Thanks.
