Tahoe Tow Vehicle Equipment Questions
Though my 4Runner has handled my Jayco X20E it's slow on hills and seems to struggle a bit. If I'm going to get bad mileage anyway I'd rather have it with something with more power. So I've been lo...

I agree you can't beat Toyota reliability, which was why I bought the 4Runner in the first place. But with the problems above, and the fact that the Sequoia gets worse gas mileage than the Tahoe, I've been less inclined to look at the Sequoia.
Your experience with the V6 was like mine--struggled with hills and headwinds. I'm glad to know the V8 worked better. But you said you towed 5500 lbs with a V8 4Runner? I'm surprised it would handle that much. the 07 was only rated 5000 lbs with the V8 or V6. Granted you could tow more, but since my V6 struggles with the 3900 lb and you add the extra weight of any cargo I'm surprised it did well. Interesting to know.
The V8s were rated to tow 7000-7200lbs depending on if it was 4x4 or not. Pulled 5500lbs no problem. The 26' length matched to the short wheelbase did make for a less than stable platform though. I eventually got a Tundra, wish I still had it.
