Sequoia?

[Larryjb]

At the moment we are using either our 2002 5.3L Tahoe or 2008 4.6L Explorer. The Explorer does better at towing thanks to VVT and a 6 speed transmission, but both vehicles have been great at towing. However, all great things will have to come to an end sometime and we will eventually have to replace these two great towing vehicles.

Ever since GM starting using displacement on demand, and Ford went to Ecoboost, and started plugging up the vehicles with way too much tech, I'm starting to look elsewhere for a future replacement vehicle. That brings me to the Sequoia. Their V8 (up to 2021?) still is pretty old but proven technology. When I searched this forum, I don't see many people posting about the Sequoia (or the close cousin Tundra). Is there anyone using the Sequoia? How do you find it?

As for Chevy's DOD, it seems to be great as long as it works, but when it fails repairs are complicated and expensive. Same for Ford's Ecoboost. I like to do as much maintenance, and tend to drive 10 year old or older vehicles because I'm not made of money. This means that any used DOD or Ecoboose will need repairs sooner or later, and they will be more complicated.
