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.)

Dale Had one. The only car I ever bought because of a review in a guitar magazine.Sure was roomy inside for such a small car. Super practical. Not much fun to drive even with a manual.Sent it to college with my stepson where it got sideswiped. Later he traded it in on an F-150.
Bd2 Hyundai's designs are indeed among the most innovative and their battery technologies should allow class leading fuel consumption. Smartstream hybrids are extremely reliable.
28-Cars-Later So now H/K motors will last longer in between scheduled replacements. Wow, actual progress.
AZFelix I have always wondered if the poor ability of Tesla cars in detecting children was due to their using camera only systems. Optical geometry explains that a child half the height of an adult seems to have the same height as that same adult standing twice as far away from the viewer.
28-Cars-Later Actually pretty appealing (apparently I'm doing this now). On a similar note, a friend of mine had a difficult situation with a tenant which led to eviction and apparently the tenant has abandoned a 2007 Jag S-Type with unknown miles in the garage so he called me for an opinion. Before checking I said $2-3 max, low and behold I'm just that good with the 3.0L clocking in at $2,3 on average (oddly the 4.2 V8 version only pulls $2,9ish) and S-Types after MY05 are supposedly decent.
