The Armada is bound to be a good value used since they sell so poorly new (esp the Infinity Q56 twin). The 5.6L feels very healthy and the 5 speed automatic helps.
The Denali is tried and true, but is still a half ton. Consider a 2500 Suburban or Yukon XL (same 6.0L V8) that has the heavier duty chassis.
The Toureg is small, expensive, and unibody. While it will pull just fine, it is not up to the same tow cycles as a framed truck.
The Sequoia is small, expensive, and underpowered. Toyota deserves its great reputation but you pay for it up front. They haven't made a great full sized truck - YET.
Both the Denali XL AWD and Armada LE/SE 4x4 with 30-35K miles should be readily available for under $30K. The Denali will have more equipment if you care about bells and whistles. New GM parts are cheaper than Nissan, and since literally millions were built used parts availability and price helps the GMs.
A similar Sub 2500 LT 6.0L 4x4 will save you a couple grand, get the same fuel economy, and have a MUCH higher capacity, even if it is *reserve*.
Better safe than sorry when towing.
