What to look out for 2013 Sequoia (1 Viewer)

[dstewart3ss]

I’m looking at a ‘13 Sequoia Platinum with 125k miles. Original owner. Says he’s done all recommended services per the book - sounds like regular fluid changes only. Doesn’t sound like any major components have been replaced.

What should I look out for when inspecting? And should I expect to be replacing any components in the near future, ie radiator, axles, etc…?

I’m familiar with LC/LX and GX but no experience with the Sequoias.

See if the cam towers seals are leaking oil. Check the underside for rust. Make sure the rear hatch window goes up and down without any problems or noises. Check the sunroof operation. See if the rear hatch sags when open (bad struts). That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Drive it on the highway and make sure the transmission feels fine. holding shift points too long or revs before shifting.

Check the oil. If it's low, walk. Trust me.
