Question 1

What makes the 2008–2022 Sequoia so desirable?

Accepted Answer

The second-gen Sequoia packs the legendary 3UR-FE 5.7L V8, a massive towing capacity (9,300+ lbs), and analog driving feel that's quickly vanishing from SUVs. It’s one of the last truck-based family haulers with true capability—and it's aging into collector status.

Question 2

Can I import a Toyota Sequoia from Japan?

Accepted Answer

Yes! While not originally sold there, many clean U.S.-spec Sequoias have made their way to Japan and are now listed in auctions. Japanese models often have lower mileage, rust-free frames, and excellent service history.

Question 3

What’s the best Sequoia trim to look for when importing?

Accepted Answer

Aim for the Platinum 4WD (USK65L) from 2008–2022. It includes rear air suspension, upgraded interior, and tech features like auto-dimming mirrors and optional laser cruise. These models are highly sought after in clean spec.

Question 4

What are the known issues I should prepare for in ownership?

Accepted Answer

The timing belt on V8 models must be changed before 100k miles to avoid engine damage. Rear air suspension bags often leak after 120k miles, and the dashboard plastics may crack from UV exposure. Transmission solenoids also clog if fluid service is skipped.
