Which is more reliable, the 2009-2014 Tahoe, with the six speed automatic, or the second generation Sequoia, 4.6 or 5.7 equipped. I would imagine the Toyota is more reliable but I remember Scotty and Car wizard too saying that Toyota V8s had issues when they got older. They never really specified which engines though. I also know about GM DOD / AFM but I have heard conflicting things about when they had it or not.
They would both suit you well however the Sequoia would outlast the Tahoe by far. If you find one with low miles they can run for a long time.
Definitely Toyota is better. The issues about V8 Toyota are expenses. They are more expensive to repair than V6 but if you need a V8, in my opinion, Toyota is the best option.
Thanks 👍
You're welcome.
The Sequoia is probably better but those Tahoes are pretty good despite all the chevy hate (often in this forum)
I friend mine has a Tahoe with like 250K on it
Which model year Tahoe? The 2nd generation (model years 2000-2006) were more solid and can last longer than the 3rd Gen (model years 2007-2014) which adopted cylinder deactivation technology (AFM).
I think his is 04 0r 05
Sequoia easily gets my vote on this one.
Both of the vehicles I have found have around 170k so I think either would be fine, now I just have to test drive! Thank y'all for your answers!
If you care about longevity and minimal issues, I would go with the Sequoia. That generation Tahoe (and newer of course) has cylinder deactivation technology (AFM) and can wear out/damage the engine over time. It’s a technology GM never perfected. Why take the risk now? Also, GM electronics is not a strong suit so expect potential electrical issues with age/mileage. The previous generation (model years 2000-2006) is a much better buy over the newer (model year 2007+) Tahoes. That’s also the time GM quality really started a long downhill decline. You mention both are 170,000 miles - that’s another knock against the Tahoe, as it’s past it’s useful lifespan before just becoming a money pit.
