I'm on my 2nd double cab 4x4 (I traded in my first on an impulse decision and regretted it every day). Both '05, both TRD 4x4 package. My first had 90k (of which I put 68k on) and my current has 140k. IMO this is the best full size, off-road capable truck for the money! Like mentioned above, the 05-06 have a 5spd transmission that has a built in engine braking feature...very nice going down grades. The truck is 7/8 full size but is very roomy on the interior with a full 6.5' box. This is one of the last full size trucks that is extremely capable off-road and isn't to massive to take in the woods; almost every manufacturer has huge, boxy trucks after '07. Here's my current truck, and I'll drive it until the wheels come off. ![[Linked Image]](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6pHMv8-_kyE/U95i_40ajvI/AAAAAAAAEQI/lJZmUDtqaiw/w1052-h592-no/truck.jpg) Jwood, Looks like a gray Sequoia in the background. I've got a 2005 Sequoia with 264,000 miles on it. Replaced belts at 90-100k and on my 4th set of tires. Love the Bridgestone Dueler Revo2's, got 73k on my last set. Only problem I've had was having to replace the 4wd actuator at 220k. I think my 11 yr old might get this truck for his first vehicle...

Very clean. Good color, too.

I just totaled my '05 Tundra double cab - A deer decided to run in front of me and got airborn. Total loss.
So after a couple of weeks later, I finally finagled a deal on an '06 with 50K less miles. An upgrade.
Should be in my drive by next weekend -

Kimber7man,
It is a '07 4x4 SR5 Sequoia. I got it for my wife a few years back with 66k on it. I did encounter a sticky actuator out in the woods, but it fixed itself. Other than that it was flawless. We recently traded it for an Acura TSX...something we can travel in and not get 15mpg!
