Recently bought a larger TV for national travel. A 2010 Toyota Sequoia Limited.
While the Toyota has crazy amounts of power and slightly more stability than the 2012 Honda Pilot EX-L did (*with low profile, UHP tires...towing the same trailer) its not exactly a night/day difference towing as expected. However, as anticipated, I do feel much better towing nationally with the Sequoia over the Pilot, especially in the elevations.
I also want to note MPG. If I retain the same (sane) speeds I held with the Pilot, typically never seeing 70mph, MPG between the two is very close. But the does Pilot holds a slight edge off interstate, where I could easily get 12mpg. Its also too easy now to go over 70mpg and not feel any difference...except in my wallet.
