During the pandemic, overlanding has exploded in popularity, and subsequently, used vehicles are selling at a premium. Traditionally, vehicle travel has been a cost-effective way to see the world, so it can be frustrating as a prospective buyer watching rigs sell for hugely inflated prices. However, there are still deals to be had, and this 2005 Sequoia is a steal! Firstly, it’s a Toyota, which means excellent build quality, fabled reliability, and interior refinement. This particular rig has been meticulously maintained (check out the service record attached to the original ad linked below), benefits from a number of modifications and accessories, and has a simple but functional DIY rear storage system. The seller states this vehicle is an “excellent value,” and at just $12,500, I’d have to agree.
From the Seller:
“If you are looking for a turnkey overland Sequoia this is it. This vehicle was built for long drives to rugged and remote places. Within the last 20,000 miles, all major preventative maintenance has been done and will not need anything for many miles to come. It includes modified suspension for heavier loads, a fridge to supply cold food, a dual-battery system to keep everything powered, onboard air, rear storage, and a kitchen. All you need to bring is your camping gear. This vehicle has been used for week- and month-long adventures. It can hold enough food, water, and gear that our family of six would only have to resupply every week.”
