        New SUV

        Ok guys we got a Toyota Sequoia in black with tan and wood trim. It's the ultimate crusing mobile. We got so many looks driving down the road compared to out old 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. But, it's way slower than the Jeep. To bad the Jeep was small because that was a fast truck.

        We are going to put some bigger wheels/tires on it, tint the windows darker, put a mesh grill, exhaust, intake, chip, and DVD's in headrests.

        If anyone is looking for a bigger SUV definatly look at the sequoia. It's bigger than the Tahoe and more luxurious. Its so smooth and is so quiet.

        If anyone has one or knows about them, would you please tell me what are some good upgrades for it.

        well here are the pics of this thing The Pictures

        Tell me what you think.

        Nice Sequoia. I have a Tundra myself...I didn't want another SUV so I chose to get the Tundra instead. Same engine as the Sequoia so if you feel that its a bit slow, try looking into the TRD supercharger kit. I installed that in my Tundra last December and it sure packs a huge wallop! Puts a grin on my face whenever I press the happy pedal.

        Might also want to check out www.tundrasolutions.com too.

        I already have the TRD mesh grille and it looks great. Have the dual exhaust but TRD does not make an intake kit for the Tundra/Sequoia yet. The only thing available intake-wise is the drop in filter.

        Not sure if Powerchips has a software/chip upgrade yet. Worth checking their website.

        the 51 views and lack of responses sum it pretty well- the sequoia is just another well executed japanese truck with no soul and identity.

        imo, the only large luxo truck with identity and character right now is the new 02/03 navigator. but thats just me.

        02 gts
        few other cars

        well funny you say that cause my friend has a tricked out navigator and likes our sequoia as much as his truck. but its personal opinion i guess.
