I own a 2008 Sequoia, which I began using to tow my 7000 lb TT (26') in 2010. The Sequoia 5.7L has plenty of power and a good tow rating. Its weaknesses are the low payload (1300 lbs) and the short wheelbase. After adding the tongue weight onto my Equal-i-zer hitch, two adults and some gear in the SUV, I was over payload consistently. I also noted that the relatively short wheelbase allowed more sway and porpoising, even with the WDH/anti-sway hitch. The rear suspension is not really made for towing larger trailers.
Mainly because of the low payload capacity, I now tow the TT with a F-250 Crew Cab short bed which has a payload of 3300 lbs, longer wheelbase and built in anti-sway. Much more pleasant towing experience.
