Someone asked what I don't like about the minivan for towing, and it is hard to describe, but it basically feels like it's really dragging. No acceleration at all.... I feel like I just don't have enough power.
I gave up on the idea of the tahoe after speaking with my mechanic, who said they are not reliable. He said Ford and Toyota are best. I like the toyota sequoia a lot, but its MPG look terrible.....

I question your mechanic, when he says the Chevy Tahoe is not reliable. Haven't heard that before.
Also when he says Toyota is among the best ....can't agree there either. We just traded in a Toyota, bought new in 2007, all sorts of electronic problems and we only put a little over 50,000 miles on it...all easy.
As far as Ford goes in reliability, I think it should be fine.
