Sequoia & Tundra

[Semper Paratus]

Gentleman...

I am looking to buy my wife an SUV type vehicle and i am looking at the possibility of buying a 1st generation Sequoia. I have a few questions that maybe you gurus can help me with.

1. Can the sequoia parts be interchanged with the same year tundras? (It would be really helpful since i drive a tundra...)

2. Has anyone attempted to do an expedition vehicle with a seqoia?

Front suspension is the same, as are the front and rear diffs. Engine also. Sequoia's I believe have 4.10 gearing. They are a nice ride and I would think with the right lift and armor it would make a great expo rig, but I have'nt seen one...

There have been several sequoia builds here, just do a quick search and you will find them. Nice trucks!

Are accessories like the ARB bumper compatible?

I'm pretty sure Bill Burke drives a sequoia as his everyday/expo rig. He also has an ARB bumper on it. It was just shown in the last 4wd Toyota owner mag.

Some insight...

I found out that the 1st generation Sequioa has a tweaked drivetrain and transmission of a 4th generation 4runner. I feel uneasy, taking a vehicle of that size off the beaten path with the smaller drivetrain / tranny...

I was thinking of taking over my wife's Sequioa, but now I'll let her drive this in town, and I'm going with a Tundra Crewmax 5.7L...

Good luck!

Regards,

BWJ

aftermarket support just isn’t there

The 1st generation Sequoias are nice vehicles and have some good expedition potential, but the aftermarket support just isn’t there. I put together a Tundra/ Land Cruiser hybrid suspension on my wife’s sequoia just to get a more suitable ride. I have been happy with the results and even my wife mentioned that she noticed how much better the big tree handled .
