Any input on these rigs?

Love the towing in the expeditions they seem to hover 13-15 in town we get 18-20 highway. Looked the Toyota and passed on them.

We've had a Sequoia a few years earlier than the model you're looking at. LOVE IT. I've owned a few Yodas with the 2UZ-FE engine and as spastic and incompetent as I am, I haven't managed to kill one of those vehicles. Yes, the Sequoia gets much, much worse gas mileage than the tundra, probably due to weight (?) Those early 2000s Tundras will pull 16-18mpg and the Sequoias about 11-12 if its in the city. A few coworkers with a Suburban report similar fuel economy. I think we got 16ish in the Sequoia on a road trip. I sat in every chair in the vehicle for more than a moment and found them all to be comfortable. If you want to save some money up front and spend a lot of money and hassle fixing mechanical and electrical problems, go with the Suburban. If you want to spend a little more up front and not have to mess with it, go with the Sequoia. I've always managed to save a few grand by buying when gas prices are high, as they're harder to sell in those days 

That's what I was thinking and have been told

Suburban,  my opinion 

  I buy low mileage suburbans for hunting rigs, I own 3 currently, one 1500 and two 2500, if you get an older 2500 (98-2005ish) with the 7.4 they drink some fuel 10-12 mpg, but they are cheap to buy, cheap to insure without comp on the insurance, they will usually last 200,000-300,000 miles, and you get heavier duty running gear in the 2500 with fewer problems than the 1500. That 7.4 engine seems to outlast the smaller engines. They have third row seating and when you figure lower cost on everything else you can afford to pay a little more for fuel and it will pull your boat real well. If you look around you can find them with less than 100,00 miles!

It's probably about a 14 hr drive from wetside WA to Brigham Utah.

I buy a lot of stuff off this website in Utah. This is only a 1500 Suburban with the smaller engine, it should get about 14 -17 mpg but probably won't last quite as long as a 2500 with a 7.4, but very low miles (89,000), so probably a very good deal. If you keep watching this website eventually there will be a good deal on a 2500. Last winter I bought a 2005 Dodge Cummins with only 48,000 miles off those classifieds.

:yeah:I will also throw a plug out for the suburban. I have a 99' 2500 with the 7.4. Last time I checked I got 14 mpg with a mix of hiway and city. A buddy has a 97' 1500 with the 5.7 and we got well over 20 mpg on a trip to Wyoming pulling an enclosed trailer. Great rigs

Headed to Portland to look at a sequoia this weekend. Portland and dealing with car salesman, not looking forward to it

Low mile yota  or suburban

[n_mathews13]

At car lot now, going with a 06 sequoia

[n_mathews13]

Got it

[follow maggie]

The F150 i had was the worst vehicle I've ever owned in my life. I'd say get the Toyota

You will be happy with the sequoia...  We were in the exact same position you were and looked at all the 3 row seat options and went with the sequoia.  The  wife loves it and pretty sure she is going to drive it into the ground which should be a long time from now...  Nice looking rig and congrats..

I went to the beginning of the thread, missed where you said you already made your purchase. I think you will be very pleased with your purchase. Congrats
