Used Car of the Day: 2010 Toyota Sequoia SR5

Bet you never thought you'd see a 2010 Toyota Sequoia that was rolling on 35s.


This lifted SR5 with four-wheel drive has a lot of miles on the clock -- almost 300,000 -- and has the battle scars to show for it. Toyota has replaced the transmission and the rear main seal has also been replaced.

There are plenty of off-road modifications here -- a 3-inch lift, 20-inch wheels, and 35-inch tires. There's LED lighting inside and out. There's a brush guard and a towing package.

If you want a weekend warrior that can bang around boulders while offering three rows of seating, click here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    This joker is trying hard to recover the cost of all the repairs he put into it.

    I shared a trail run with a lightly modded 1st gen Sequoia a few years back on a moderate offroad trail (including a deep, fast, upstream water crossing) and it hung just fine. But this particular example is the mall-iest of crawlers with a too high lift (over 2” on IFS is rarely necessary) and too short sidewalls (all that vehicle on not enough tire.)


  • NJRide This could give Infiniti dealers an extra product maybe make it a sub brand
  • Lou_BC Mr. Posky outraged over an old guy passing er releasing some gas. How are those sedan sales going?
  • Theflyersfan There's still the serious lingering doubt or fear about sinking so much money into an electric VW, a company notorious for having epic gremlins in that area. Honestly, I want to see long-term, at least 80,000 miles, examples and how they held up. Maybe then.
  • Lorenzo They were willing to go against their customers' preferences to satisfy government, but now that they see it doesn't pencil out, they change their tune. Now is the time to tell 'em what we really want.
  • Tassos Generally I prefer that exploited labor remain domestic like in the service and trade industries. Given the complex and global integration of supply chains and materials sourcing I accept that most manufacturing must be managed by foreign 'kapos'.
