Newbie: Towing TT w/ 2008 Toyota Sequoia
The camping bug bit my wife over the summer so we decided to attend the RV Expo in Boston over the past weekend. She fell in love with the 2018 Rockwood 2706WS and after two days of looking at smaller...

So then, by your own admission, you're saying that the Sequoia can tow a 9100-lb trailer. Sure, no one on this thread might be doing it, but you (and others) are saying it can do it.
And then there are those of us who have experience towing trailers that large and heavy who are saying that it'd be a really bad idea. Short wheelbase, half-ton truck? Yeah, good luck with that.
What the H is wrong with you?
Spec is 9100 for most 5.7L Sequoias out there and about 2k less after 2012. That's spec!
This SUV and most half tons are maxed at GVWR out well before the towing capacity is met! So all the talk about 9k lbs???
BUT. Let's claim said 9100lb trailer had a 8-10% tongue weight, now there's no problem at all.
Finally, just because I have towed with SUV's the last number of years, doesn't mean I've never towed 5th wheels and TT's with large trucks. I've been deep into RV's my entire life along with 2 generations before me.
And only a fool would talk down to someone based on their tow vehicle choice and make assumptions about them. I made an educated choice and have zero need and desire for a pick up truck. All it would do for me is burn money.
