Dealers suck buy used from private owners!!!

Agreed my 06 Sequoia is pretty good but honestly the GM options have strong positives to be heavily considered.

So we almost were ready to cut a check/deal tonight on a 2019 Yukon Denali. Except because we don’t own nor have ever owned a GM vehicle the near invoice priced deal “wasn’t” available to us. So another words new customers interested in switching brands must pay upwards of $16,000 to join the GM...

2005 -2007 Toyota boosted the tune on the 4.7 to 282hp vs the GX and LC get the 260hp tune. Trust me there is a difference and the 2005-2007 Sequoia get the premium recommendation in the owners manual.

Gx doesn’t get tuned like the Sequoia. The GX gets a lazy tune as does the LC. The Sequoia tune is far more aggressive. The 4.7 in the Sequoia is a different animal than the GX and LC regarding tune. Toyota turned up the wick on the Sequoia to compete with the Suburban.

Rooftop tent didn’t help

One reason why I would rather dirt bike it or hike it from the top. Driving that sort of stuff isn’t appealing to me never has been especially with crowds. Lol

Just test drove the 2019 5.3L 8spd Yukon slt and 6.2L 10spd Denali. The SLT has the classic Suburban floaty ride which isn’t a bad thing persay but hasn’t really been my cup of tea. The Sequoia ride quality is more controlled less floaty boat feel. That much I can say!! The Denali with Active...

Nope it doesn’t officially but I can tell you it runs much better on 91 and several friends with the 4.7 have the same experience. It rattles like a box of rattle snakes on 87 when your pushing 2500+rpm. Run premium and its smooth no rattling. The owners manual doesn’t require it but suggests it.

Yeah agreed the solid rear axle goes away it changes the nature of these SUVs. Also the trend to go really wide makes them less appealing for city use. They all seem to get wider when they go to full independent suspension. They also seem to get less utility focused interior design

The GM engines are better thats for sure. The premium fuel need in the Toyota 4.7 isn’t ideal. The GM mileage is better. The used prices with GM are far better. You can get a much nicer newer lower mileage GM for the same price as an older higher mileage Sequoia. The Tahoe and Yukon are just...

I have the first gen 06 Sequoia and looking to possibly upgrade to a new Tahoe or Yukon soon. The 1st gen Sequoia is reliable and decently roomy we do 2700-2900 mile trips every summer with ours. The 4.7 is thirsty I do 15mpg in town and road trips we run typically 16mpg unless its a huge tail...

Where I live LCs are a dime a dozen as are new Lexus LXs, 911’s, Teslas are more common than Honda sedans. But when I go camping, do road trips the places I like going no those vehicles are rare very rare and attract the wrong kind of attention. Especially when left parked at remote trail heads...

As a current shopper looking at 50-80k vehicles and can afford such. I don’t want to flaunt or appear to others as if I have lots of money. Its just not my thing. Most people with real wealth actually don’t like advertising such things. Newly wealthy or misleading people to think one is wealthy...

I’ve seen it. No need for the complex V roof which is not very spacious. Crazy high price. But the pop up roof idea is in the direction

Once any abrasive is used the smooth sealed gelcoat surface gets damaged and increases the staining risk and discoloring aspect. Wax simply seals the porous surface but is a very temporary fix till you wax again etc. Many people make the mistake of using the rubbing compound type waxes to clean...

I feel ya I’m shopping too. But I think you have the more exciting options than I do. Headed to look at the Tahoe /Yukon soon. 6.2L V8 10spd? Yeah maybe I should just go big and ride my bicycle more around town? LOL The 2020 Aviator/ Explorer got nixed hard yesterday. I thought would be a...

I drove the Ford 2.3L and own the 4.7L v8 Sequoia first gen. I had doubts but it doesn’t matter much about cylinders and displacement when the torque and power numbers are there. The 10spds were not developed for higher RPM smallerpower units. They were developed to handle a wide range of power...

It is smaller sorta L4-3 ish. Which is probably why you don’t see them much other than leased LA status symbol etc. The 4Dr Wrangler offers more space and thats not really saying much. I just looked at the 2020 Explorer/ Aviator not a 4x4 rig but just as a reference the 2020 Explorer is not a...

Built it in 1983-1986 with my WWII transport pilot grand father. He hadn’t flown or even wanted to fly since 1947 when he parked his last DC 3 and signed out his last time in the AF. He was working in the yard when a Verieze flew over. My grandmother thought he was being attacked by hornets the...
