re: New 2023 Toyota Sequoia

That’s because people have to junk a Tahoe every 5 years compared to a Toyota. 1 Sequoia = 3 Tahoes.

I’m a Toyota guy and own a 2021 4Runner TRD but that’s just not true even if Scotty Kilmer and NoBawgDog repeat it 40 times a day.

The full sized SUVs from GM are quite good, and they generally sell to well off families who maintain them reasonably well. GM is by far market leader in full sized SUVs for a very good reason. The GMC Yukon also has the best resale value in its class, which includes the Sequoia. LINK - KBB.

The Suburban is also in the top 3 vehicles most likely to rack up 200,000+ miles. LINK - Autoweek. They outrank my 4Runner in that respect, so clearly they are doing something right. Maybe that something is just selling a decent product for 70 years to people that take care of it and appreciate it. It seems to be well received by a very similar audience that Toyota targets for their Sequoia and Land Cruiser.
