Odyssey to Sequoia tomorrow

[TENDER BUTT]

Hello, new here. First please let me explain the handle "Tenderbutt" I have had 3 back operations and I still have chronic pain in the butt. Thus, tender butt. Anyway, liked my Honda Odyssey but couldn't stand the hard seat and harsh ride any longer. I am trying out a 05 Sequoia SR5. I picked it up Fri. and will return it Monday ( tomorrow). I love it. I put 200 miles on it today. seat is great and ride is much better than Odyssey. Everything else is a plus. I will buy it tomorrow. We have already done the math , just in case. Here is my only concern. The oil gage needle rests on 1/4 at idle and even around 55 mph at approx. 2000 rpm. It does rise to 1/2 or a little more upon acceleration and then returns to 1/4 at constant speed. Is this a major problem or a overly sensitive gage or sensor. I hope someone replies to this tonight as I intend to purchase tomorrow. ...........No pressure here huh LOL.
Thanks, Tender Butt

Thanks trdcamry, I will check out the sight. Yes you are right. I did buy it today I now have a little over 500 miles on it already. I just love it. My wife does too. All exect the gas mileage , of course. But I knew that going in so I can't complain now. BTY, sharp truck.

Tender butt here. Yep, 05 they raised the HP from 240 to 282 and give it another gear. I have a little over 1000 mi. now in one week and I am retired and really don't have to go anywhere. I guess I must like it huh. Power is OK but could probably use a little NITROUS now and then. LOL
