#31 of 162 Car engine? by mulligan2 Mar 03, 2001 (7:09 am)
The Sequoia engine is used in the legendary Land Cruiser as well as the LX470 and the Tundra. Why does that make it a car engine? As to Bten's question, I test drove the Sub and the Seq and found the braking, pickup and handling better in the Seq. I know style is a matter of personal preference, but I also find the dashboard and instrument panel of the Chevy SUV's to be extremely square and clunky.
#32 of 162 Towing with a Sequoia? by cmuehlenb May 13, 2002 (9:31 am)
If you have to tow 7600 lbs thru mountains, which would be better?    I am a stickler for quality and think Toyota has the best made high production vehicles in the world. However, I wasn't considering the Sequoia because I thought it would be too whimpy. Anyone know what a Sequoia 4x4 will tow? Anyone know what the K1500 Yukon XL will tow to compare?

The decision to buy one vs. another, in the end, comes down to personal preferences. I've got a good basis to compare the two. I've got a Yukon XL (4WD, 1500, SLE) and my brother-in-law and co-worker have a Sequoia.   I bought the Yukon because i've got 6 kids and need the interior room. The third seat in the Yukon has foot wells vs. the Toyota being a bench without a well for feet. there's no question that the Yukon has more room for a growing family, including the ability to get 9 passenger seating, more room behind the third seat.   My brother-in-law/coworker bought the Sequoia because he perceived there to be a quality difference. I encouraged him to look at the Yukon/Tahoe (not Yukon XL/Suburban), but he didn't even test drive it. He owned a GM product 15 years ago and will never own another. He uses the Toyota to tow a horse trailer and is somewhat disappointed that his Toyota didn't come with adequate trailer wiring (and the Toyota dealer wouldn't install it), and the truck doesn't have the towing capacity that the Yukon XL 1500 has.   I've driven both trucks and frankly prefer the Yukon XL ... it has much more room at the drivers seat (I'm 6'6") and the seats seem to adjust more. The Toyota seems smoother accelerating and braking and you can see better out the back window from the drivers seat.   The bottom line is that if i had it to do over gain i'd still buy the Yukon XL/Suburban and he'd buy another Sequoia. Personal preference.
#34 of 162 Not sure either by spartanman2 Jun 17, 2002 (11:55 am)
My wife is pregnant with our third child and I haven't room for a third child seat in our current vehicle. We'll need to upgrade this fall. I owned a Mini-Van once, but prefer a full size SUV. I have been looking at the Sequoia, Yukon and now '03 Expedition. They are approximately the same price with similar options.   Anyone want to factor the newest Ford Expedition into this debate?
#35 of 162 Choices by pschreck Jun 17, 2002 (12:21 pm)
As far as size, if you need the room, the Sequoia is not as large as the Sub/XL. These vehicles really shouldn't be compared for this reason. I own a Sequoia and absolutely love it. But if your main criteria is size, then it can't compete. However if you want a highly reliable SUV with a Full Time 4WD system (can be run in any conditions including dry pavement), Vehicle Stability Control, plenty of second and third row leg room, great safety ratings and a smooth as butter engine, then be sure to check out the Sequoia.
#38 of 162 Thank You by fanman8 Jul 09, 2002 (2:33 pm)
Thank you Therube for that articulate synopsis of these SUV's.
#40 of 162 Ignore him... by raddboy41 Jul 10, 2002 (6:33 am)
He'll go away. He's shown up in a couple other forums baiting people into responding to his inarticulate postings.
