It goes without saying that the Toyota Sequoia lives because it is way ahead. This big SUV is like the Energizer Bunny, except it keeps going and going while hauling your family and tons of gear. Seriously, the Toyota Sequoia is the most durable SUV.
The Toyota Sequoia is the most durable SUV
The results are in, and the Toyota Sequoia shines as one of the most durable SUV options you can buy. It made iSeeCar’s list of vehicles most likely to reach 250,000 miles and beyond.
It’s up there with the Toyota Land Cruiser, which is no longer available in the U.S., the Toyota 4Runner, the Toyota Sienna, and surprisingly, the Honda Pilot. But the Ford Expedition, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban didn’t make the list.
The Sequoia has a 47.1% chance of lasting over 250,000 miles, and the Pilot has a 42.7% chance. That’s impressive, but the Sequoia wins. In addition, the Land Cruiser reaches 47.9%. The Sequoia is 3.1 times more likely to pass 250,000 miles than the average vehicle.
To calculate these numbers, iSeeCars analyzed more than 260 million vehicles sold between 2011 and 2022. It then calculated the average odometer reading based on annual age and developed a proprietary model based on on the average mileage to estimate the probability that each vehicle survived various mileages. thresholds
How many kilometers will a sequoia last?
The average Toyota Sequoia model is expected to exceed 300,000 miles. The Sequoia even has a longer life expectancy than the Toyota Land Cruiser by a few thousand miles. In addition, the Sequoia has the highest percentage of vehicles on the road with over 250,000 miles.
If you drive an average of 15,000 miles per year, you can expect your Sequoia to provide 17 to 20 years of service on the road before requiring costly repairs or breakdown.
The Sequoia isn’t considered a high-mileage vehicle until it reaches about 150,000 miles, but it could still have a lot of life left in it. Just be sure to check the vehicle’s history.
The keys to longevity include changing your oil, transmission and engine fluids regularly. Be sure to perform routine maintenance and take steps to diagnose a potential problem as soon as possible.
Delaying a trip to the mechanic or Toyota service center could make the problem worse and more expensive to fix. Also, drive with smooth and non-aggressive driving habits.
The annual maintenance cost of Toyota Sequoia is $642, which is average. New vehicles typically cost about $652 to maintain annually.
Which Used Sequoia Model Years Are Best?
Used 2005-2007 Toyota Sequoia models may not have the most up-to-date technology, but they can be found for under $10,000. They have a robust V8 engine that is extremely durable and is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission.
A smaller V8 engine was introduced in 2009 and discontinued in 2012. The most reliable third-generation options include the 2015-2018 model years.
These Sequoia models still have a long-lasting V8 engine with plenty of power. In addition, they offer more modern technology updates and more security features. In addition, these models can tow more.
The new Toyota Sequoia might not be as reliable as the outgoing generation due to having a new suspension and engine. But stay tuned for updates on how it holds up.
