For your 2005 Toyota Sequoia we do have a confirmed fit for your vehicle. I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65031 which will also fit the same model year Tundra. I've attached a video of that installation to assist and have linked the installation details as well.
