Every gasoline Sequoia model year from 2004 to 2021, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Large SUV of the same year.
Scored separately as its own vehicle: Sequoia Mild Hybrid (2023–2025).
Across 18 scored model years the Sequoia rarely gives trouble, but repairs run costlier than average when it does. The spread between years is what matters: 2015 is its strongest, 2005 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Large SUV sold that same model year.

The line held a weak position through 2006, ran middling in 2007, and has been strong from 2008 on. The recent trend is upward. This 2021 car falls in a strong stretch.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every Sequoia model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Large SUV of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
