Towing a TT with a Toyota Sequoia or Tacoma?
Hello again. I recently posted about towing a travel trailer with a 2007 4Runner. My husband and I talked about it and we are thinking about upgrading to a Sequoia or a Tacoma. Does anyone tow ...

I also tow with a Sequoia, a 2010 Limited.
The 5.7L motor is an absolute beast, don't be fooled by people saying this SUV is better for smaller TT's or no TT at all. They have no clue.
That said, it's not a pick up truck and has a lower tow rating. But even the newest using the SAE towing standard it is rated for 7200lbs, which is a walk in the park for this SUV with a good set up.
MPG's everyday will be 15-17mpg and highway 18-19 tops.
Towing MPG, it will match what every other truck and SUV does. 8-12...heavily dependent on speed and wind resistance...not weight. My interstate speed (65-75mph) MPG while towing (box trailer or TT) is a solid 8-10mpg.
We currently have 120,000 miles on ours with the biggest trips being Badlands/Custer/Cheyenne/Yellowstone and the Smoky's. There are no signs of high mileage, it drives like new...and I say that because I've driven a couple new ones! In 3 busy years, I have only replaced the battery and all fluids. Nothing else...not even a light bulb. SOLID, BIG MOTOR SUV!
