If you're in the market for a capable, full-size SUV that can haul the whole family and still tow a boat or camper, this 2012 Toyota Sequoia Platinum Sport Utility for sale at Pristine Cars & Trucks in Marietta, GA deserves a serious look.

About This 2012 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 4x4

At 239,678 miles, this Sequoia has clearly been driven — but that's part of the story, not a dealbreaker. Toyota's second-generation Sequoia, built on the same platform as the Tundra pickup, is one of the most mechanically durable full-size SUVs ever produced. High-mileage examples routinely hit 300,000 miles and beyond with proper maintenance, and the 5.7-liter V8 paired with a 6-speed automatic is widely regarded as one of Toyota's most robust powertrain combinations. Buyers who understand this model know that mileage alone doesn't tell the full story — condition and maintenance history do. This Platinum trim example represents an opportunity to own a premium, body-on-frame SUV at a fraction of its original sticker price.
 

2012 Toyota Sequoia Performance and Engine

5.7-Liter Flex-Fuel V8 Power

The heart of this Sequoia is Toyota's 5.7-liter iForce V8, a flex-fuel engine capable of running on regular gasoline or E85 ethanol. In standard trim, this engine produces around 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque — numbers that translate to effortless highway passing, confident merging, and a towing capacity of up to 7,400 pounds when properly equipped.
 

6-Speed Automatic with Sequential Shift

Paired to the V8 is a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift mode, giving the driver manual gear control when descending grades or navigating more demanding terrain. The full-time 4WD system provides genuine off-road and adverse-weather capability, making this Sequoia as practical in the North Georgia mountains as it is on Cobb County surface streets.
 

Toyota Sequoia Platinum Features and Interior

The Platinum is the top-of-the-line trim in the 2012 Sequoia lineup, and it shows. Expect a well-appointed cabin loaded with premium features including leather-trimmed seating, a power-adjustable third row, heated and ventilated front seats, a JBL premium audio system, a rear-seat entertainment system, and a power moonroof. The Platinum also includes Toyota's navigation system, rear-view camera, and wood-grain interior accents that give the cabin a genuinely upscale feel. Three-row seating accommodates up to eight passengers, making this one of the more livable large SUVs in its class.
 

Toyota Sequoia Reliability and Ownership

The Toyota Sequoia has one of the strongest long-term reliability reputations of any full-size SUV on the market. J.D. Power and Consumer Reports have consistently praised the platform for above-average dependability, and real-world owner communities echo that sentiment. The 5.7-liter V8 and 6-speed automatic are known to be exceptionally durable when serviced regularly, and the body-on-frame construction means rust and wear patterns are predictable and typically manageable. Common maintenance items at higher mileage include spark plugs, differential fluid service, and transmission fluid — all routine items for a well-maintained example. Buyers considering this vehicle should pull a Carfax report and, if possible, have a pre-purchase inspection performed to verify the service history. Overall, the Sequoia platform is one of the safest bets in the used full-size SUV market.
