2001 Toyota Sequoia Limited review from North America

Nothing. You will replace the brakes every 25K miles if you drive in the city, or 40-50K miles for mixed, but what do you expect for a 3 ton car?

If you really get tired of brake jobs, spend the $750 to upgrade the brakes to the 2003 and newer design, and this goes away.

A cavernous interior with good driver visibility, adequate power and tremendous reliability.

I bought my Sequoia used and have driven 65,000 trouble free miles. People who want to complain about it will tell you that they have the following problems with it:

1. Rear door handle broke - $25 part and 1 hour of your time to replace. (Tundrasolutions.com has the write up) Yes, it is annoying, but not a reason to gripe about Toyota corporation.

2. Drive indicator light burned out - $3.50 and 25 minutes of your time to replace. (tundrasolutions.com has the write up)

3. Brakes wear out - yes, this gets a little expensive if you only drive in town, but again, this beast weighs more than 6,000 lbs. It is not a Porsche, and can't be driven like one without wearing the brakes quickly.

4. Gets 14-16 MPG city - yes, it is a 4.7L 6000 lb. car. If you want a Prius, go buy one - this isn't it.

I love the car and plan to keep it another 5-7 years. I fully expect it will provide another 150K miles of trouble-free operation.
