Pretty sure suburban is the correct answer here. The Tahoe and Sequoia will get the job done, but the shorter wheel bases may make for a squirrelier pull...same for the Durangos too.


Agree.

Longer wheelbase = easier tow.

Nissan Armada = 8200 lb. towing

Infiniti QX80 = 8500 lb. towing

I've had good luck with both (pulling 21' Bullet and shooting carts). Infiniti not really worth the extra $$$ (unless I get a pleasant surprise at resale).

Dawg,

What is your off-road experience with the armada? Can you rate it vs a sequoia?

Also, would the same spec Titan help you tow or off road any better?

I have seen some armadas get in a bit of off road troubles. The driver didn't help either.

Nissan NV3500 HD
9500lb tow rating.

5.6l V8

Things are huge. Base price is around 35k but you can get up on that real quick with all the options.


dont think that is what he is wanting, but a chevy 3500 van would pull more and not look like dogshit.

But you'd be stuck with a chevy

But seriously, can the rear seats be configured in over 300 different combinations? And why do you think it looks like shite?
