2015 Toyota Sequoia platinum
Is a toyota sequoia platinum suitable as a tow vehicle for a travel trailer. It has a 7400 lb tow rating. My concern would be in the mountains of the west...

The Sequoia is a perfectly fine tow vehicle. Just like any other, as long as it is kept within its ratings. As with 1/2 ton based vehicles, you will be payload limited. I would aim to keep the loaded tt weight under 6k as long as you can handle the tongue weight. A hundred pounds over payload won't kill it. More important is to keep it under the axle and tire ratings.
The 5.7l with the 6speed is a bulletproof combo and will pull its rated weights in the mountains without problem. It will drop a few gears but don't be afraid to let it rev, won't hurt anything. It's best power is found above 3500rpm.
This.
Have towed thousands of miles with a Sequoia and had zero problems at 5500 lb loaded trailer, plus 2 adults, provisions for 3 weeks, and an Equal-i-zer hitch.
