As the title says....
We are considering buying an earlier model Sequoia. There doesn't seem to be a thread that talks about the variances of trim levels (and quite frankly looking at used models online make even less sense - as some of the higher optioned vehicles are 2WD).
In any event - like most Toyota models, I'm wondering what options should be looked for an maybe pay a small premium for? (For instance, certain year corolla's the XRS has far more power, but is also the only model with rear discs..... or on 80 series, try to find lockers, etc).
I've had a LOT of Toyota's, but never had an early 2000's vehicle - sort of skipped few generations of vehicles and wondering what I should look for or steer away from.
We had an 80 series (1993 with lockers, some mods, but mostly stock) that was high mileage - and decided to sell for non-vehicle needs reasoning..... we have a 1987 Suburban that we had as it's "replacement" and it just isn't. Sure it's reliable, but that's about it. We miss the 80 series, but I want something a little newer and a little less geared towards pure off road use. 4WD (whether part time or full time) is a must, as where we live gets snow *sometimes* and getting to our house can be difficult without. Sequoia seems to fit the bill - bigger/comfortable for family, folding rear 3rd row, good space for pups in the back.
Also curious - I assume they would be able to flat tow a 40 series?
