Used 2021 Toyota Sequoia for Sale nearBaltimore, MD

How much does the 2021 Toyota Sequoia cost?

Prices are up 1.65% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 130 listings available, which suggests a relatively limited pool of used Sequoias to shop from.

Is the 2021 Toyota Sequoia a good car?

Generally — the 2021 Toyota Sequoia earns 4.4/5 from owners and 7.0/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Form and function at 9/10.

Owners repeatedly point to practicality, good looks, reliable performance, and ample features. The Sequoia also gets credit for its smooth ride and roomy cabin, which fits its role as a large, truck-like SUV for buyers who want lots of space and standard V8 power.

The trade-offs are clear: the Sequoia’s age shows, and the model is still hampered by poor fuel economy and poor value for money. That makes it a better fit if you prioritize space, capability, and straightforward usability over modern polish.

Only 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is not especially generous.

Is the 2021 Toyota Sequoia reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also points to reliable performance, and the model’s age is framed as a plus for durability because it has not been reworked for many years. The expert evaluation also describes the Sequoia’s age as a factor that can support good reliability, and it notes that the first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that an older, high-priced SUV can still bring age-related wear even if the powertrain reputation is strong.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Toyota Sequoia?

At 71.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the truck-like chassis and suspension feel tight and well maintained.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SR5 includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED fog lights, three-zone climate control, pushbutton start, remote keyless entry, a 7-inch touchscreen, a power moonroof, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. The SR5 Premium Package adds a power-folding/reclining third row, power-adjustable front passenger seat, leather upholstery, and heated front seats. The TRD Sport adds unique 20-inch wheels, chrome accents, Satin-black TRD logos, TRD floor mats, Bilstein shocks, and a TRD sport-tuned suspension. The Limited adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, auto-dimming chrome-clad power side mirrors with integrated turn signals, a power liftgate, navigation, and a 12-speaker premium audio system. The Nightshade Edition adds black 20-inch wheels, black leather upholstery, second-row captain’s chairs, and LED fog lights with dark chrome surrounds. The TRD Pro adds Rigid Industries LED fog lights, 18-inch BBS forged aluminum TRD wheels, Fox Racing shocks, a TRD-tuned suspension, beefed-up skid plates, and a limited-slip center differential. The Platinum adds heated-and-ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, a larger 9-inch touchscreen, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and air suspension.
• Powertrain: Every trim uses a 5.7-liter V8 with 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive with low range is available. The setup delivers stout acceleration and strong towing ability, but it also contributes to truck-like driving behavior and weaker fuel economy.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense-P is standard, with forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. It also includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front-and-rear parking sensors. There are no optional safety features, and you do not get lane-keeping assist or lane-tracing assist.
• Infotainment: The standard system uses a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and a WiFi hotspot. A larger 9-inch screen appears on higher trims, but the system remains simple and easy to use.
• Fuel efficiency: The rear-wheel-drive version returns 13 mpg city, 17 mpg highway, and 15 mpg combined. The four-wheel-drive version keeps the same city and highway figures but returns 14 mpg combined.

Which 2021 Toyota Sequoia trim should I buy?

The 2021 Toyota Sequoia is offered in 6 trim levels: SR5, TRD Sport, Limited, Nightshade Edition, TRD Pro, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• SR5: This is the entry point, but it still gives you the core Sequoia experience with the V8, three-zone climate control, a power moonroof, and the standard safety and infotainment setup. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost path into the model and can live without the extra comfort and convenience features.
• TRD Sport: This trim adds a sportier look and a TRD-tuned suspension with Bilstein shocks, so it’s the one to consider if you want a more distinctive appearance and chassis tuning without jumping to the top of the range.
• Limited: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds leather, heated front seats, a power liftgate, navigation, and a 12-speaker premium audio system. It feels like the point where the Sequoia’s equipment starts to match its price more convincingly.
• Nightshade Edition: This is the style-focused pick, with blacked-out exterior details, black leather, and second-row captain’s chairs. It suits you if appearance and a more upscale cabin presentation matter more than maximizing value.
• TRD Pro: This is the off-road-oriented trim, with skid plates, Fox Racing shocks, a TRD-tuned suspension, and a limited-slip center differential. Choose it if you want the most rugged hardware in the lineup.
• Platinum: This is the most luxurious version, with heated-and-ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, air suspension, and the larger touchscreen. It’s the right call if you want the most comfort and convenience features.

Toyota Safety Sense-P is standard across the lineup, and there are no optional safety features to add later.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Toyota Sequoia?

The market looks moderate and selective, so you should shop carefully and move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 130 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.65% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 71.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $47,663, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Toyota Sequoia's resale value?

The current average of $48,664 sits slightly above last year's $47,873.

That upward move suggests the Sequoia has held buyer interest well enough to support pricing. For a future seller, that means a clean, well-kept example can still command attention, especially if it has desirable equipment and a strong condition story.

The limited supply also helps support resale strength, because fewer listings can make the right truck stand out more quickly. If you keep mileage, condition, and accident history in check, you’re more likely to protect value over time.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Toyota Sequoia safe?

The 2021 Toyota Sequoia earns four-star ratings in the NHTSA rollover test.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense-P is standard, and it includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. You also get blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front-and-rear parking sensors, with no optional safety features available.

One caveat is that the Sequoia still rides on an old platform, and the rollover result is the main crash-test shortcoming called out in the data.

Should I buy a 2021 Toyota Sequoia or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 71.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.65% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 adds a new Nightshade Special Edition while keeping the Sequoia’s familiar space-and-V8 formula.

Consider the 2022 if:

• It keeps the same truck-based formula while staying in the lineup with minor updates.

The bottom line: If you want the 2021 Sequoia’s familiar V8 power, roomy cabin, and broad feature set, it’s the straightforward choice. If you’re price-sensitive, shop the cleanest, best-priced example you can find and be ready to move quickly when it lands below the low end of the range.
