2004 Toyota Sequoia Limited

The Sequoia is Toyota's full-size SUV, the one you'd pick over a Tahoe or Expedition if you want the same space with Toyota's reputation behind it. It drives like a big SUV, with a commanding view of the road and a ride that soaks up bumps without much fuss. The cabin is genuinely roomy, with three rows that fit eight people and a rear window that rolls down for easy access. Owners report these hold up well past 200,000 miles, though the rear window motor and liftgate latch are known weak points. The Limited sits above the SR5 with leather upholstery, power front seats, and a JBL audio system, making it the plusher choice for families who want the full-size space without stepping up to a Lexus LX. Its 4.7L V8 makes 273 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque, paired with a four-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, which moves the 5,100 pounds SUV with steady authority but returns 14 mpg combined. The Limited's optional third-row seat is a 60/40 split bench that folds flat into the floor, so you can switch from people-hauling to cargo duty without removing anything.
