Replying to: candiran (Feb 16, 2006 11:48 am) Just a couple of things for you to consider:   2006 Tahoe is a brand new model with new exterior/interior styling; more engine configurations with a hybrid coming out soon. 2006 Tundra was just introduced at I believe the Chicago auto show so the "new" model Sequoia would be following not too long after the Tundra starts rolling off the assembly line. Of course, the Tundra/Sequoia is completely redesigned with a new engine as well. Toyota is talking about a hybrid for the Tundra/Sequoia. I guess the relevant question would be; what is your time frame for purchasing/leasing? Additionally, Toyota will have a higher resale value even though it is more "pricey."   BTW, just for reference, I owned a Tahoe (2000) before buying an 04' Sequoia. Gotta love the power in the Chevy but after 60k miles and it starting to have problems I got rid of it quick and bought the Toyota. Got about 30k on the Toyo and so far it is flawless. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: tdoh (Feb 23, 2006 4:32 pm) ggesq (Feb 24, 2006 4:13 am)

Replying to: mm1923 (Feb 13, 2005 12:39 pm) In August of 2005 I traded a 2003 Suburban LT on a 2005 Toyota Sequoia Limited. BIG MISTAKE!!! I have been having many problems with the Sequoia and have had it back to the dealer twice. Now it will be going back a third time for problems not solved in the first two trips and all this in only 4,100 miles. My Burb only had 11,000 care free miles on it and I only had to take it back to the dealer for a recall on the second row seat belt. They fixed the problem in less than an hour and I was on my way. The #1 and only reason I went with the Sequoia was because of the so called Toyota Reliability Factor! I can assure you my Sequoia certainly does not live up to Toyota's so called RELIABILITY????. RELIABILITY???? give me a break!! The new 2007 Suburbans are coming to the dealers around April or May and I can tell you I WILL be going back to the SUBURBAN. My take on the Sequoia is that it is HIGHLY OVERRATED AND HIGHLY OVER PRICED. No wonder the Sequoia is said to have a higher trade in value. It's OVER PRICED to begin with. My 03 Burb had many,many, more bells and whistles for much less money($3000 less MSRP) than my Sequoia has. My advice is go for the all new 2007 Suburban as that is exactly what I am going to do. I have owned my first and last Toyota guaranteed! For me its Suburban all the way. After all the Suburban was the first and is the Granddaddy of all the SUVs, as we know them, today. Take notice as to what the U.S. Government is using....Suburbans!! Replies to this message: ggesq (Jun 23, 2006 4:50 pm)

Replying to: tdoh (Feb 23, 2006 4:32 pm) Oops, looks like I misspoke. Yes, you are correct, I meant the 07 as being a brand new model.
#160 of 162 Suburban's Rule by jck1 Jun 12, 2006 (11:46 am)
I tried the Expedition, Sequoia, Armada, Tahoe & Suburban. In truth, the Sienna had more passenger room than all but the Suburban. My wife and I have 4 boys, a girl and 115 yellow lab. The Suburban was the clear choice. It also makes me feel better knowing that my most presious cargo is in such a safe vehicle.
#161 of 162 Re: Towing: Can the Sequoia handle it? [tomk4] by dietrich Jun 20, 2006 (9:03 pm)
Replying to: tomk4 (Jan 11, 2006 11:24 pm) Just got done towing a 5000# dry (probably 5800# loaded) travel trailer from Denver to Steamboat Lake with a 93 SR5 Sequoia. Handled great over Eisenhower tunnel and Rabbit Ears pass (did get down to 35 mph over Rabbit Ears). Gas mileage did drop as low as 4 mph for a time, but made it all the way back on one tank and 3 hours drive time! I was very concerned about towing that kind of weight but did clear it with the TRD guru at a local dealer. Guarantee I was over the GVWR of 11,800 ( I'd have to pull the seats and drive naked not to). The key is to get a good hitch set up and dial in the trailer breaks (recommend cam anti-sway control and load equalizer bars). Temps were in the 90's pulling extended grades of 6% at altitude and never had the temp budge. I know alot of people will argue to NEVER exceed weight limits. I am very conservative and never felt overloaded, unsafe or white knuckled. I guess I don't necessarily buy into attorney and lawsuit driven national paranoia of guard rails everywhere and coffee labeled hot.

It's OVER PRICED to begin with."   Having owned a Tahoe and now a Sequoia I thought you might be interested to know that according to Edmunds TMV pricing-   2007 Burb LT 1500 4WD w/ LTZ package & Navigation is $48,267.   2006 Sequoia Limited 4WD w/ Navi is $40,700.   And you were saying? Almost 8K more and in a couple of years the Sequoia will still have a higher resale than the Chevy. Heck, it will most likely outlast it too.   "Take notice as to what the U.S. Government is using....Suburbans!!" Yes, they are cheap and expendable.
