Just so you know, we've been towing 6000 pounds+ for 3 years with our first generation Sequoia. You'll be fine. We've been out to Yellowstone, through the mountains, and next year we're headed down to Florida. The Sequoia is a beast of an SUV for towing, especially your 2nd gen model. I would suggest a good WD hitch like a ProPride or Hensley.
Relax and enjoy your excellent SUV and TT!
A beast compared to what? An Excursion is a beast. A 8.1 2500 Suburban is a beast. A Sequoia is 1/2 ton SUV far from beast status in my book.
Unfortunately there are no longer any beast status SUV's being produced.
The only place to find a beast is on the used market.
A beast for the size of truck and the size of engine it has, only a 4.6 liter for the 1st generation models. I wasn't trying to compare it to something much larger like an Excursion. Of course, my brother in law's Excursion was a beast for its size when it ran right and wasn't being pulled behind a tow truck! Never been an issue with the Sequoia. I'm at 126,000 miles and it drives like brand new, even while towing at or over its tow limit. I'll call it the little beast then :)
