Congratulations graduate! Always nice to see someone pass the course before they spend they money! So many don't find this forum until they plunk down hard earned cash on something like a Sequoia and then find out that it's way overloaded and having problems.
About the only vehicle being manufactured today with both enough seats and payload to handle to a decent sized trailer is a full size van from Ford or GM. Chevy has discontinued the 2500 Suburban (although rumored to be coming back in 2015) and the Excursion was last made in 2005, likely because the capabilities of the 1500 models are closing in on what used to be 2500 territory.
