Serious question, FWIW.
ND said he "figured the Toyota would last longer than the Chevy"

Honestly, I'd say flip a coin.
Ford and GM trucks are better than people give them credit for.
Toyota full-size trucks have been slightly worse than people give them credit for.

The real arguement comes from purchase price. A used 2008 Tahoe LS 2WD runs about $5000 less than a 2008 Sequoia SR5 2WD. About thirty versus mid-thirties.

So if there is not a huge difference in reliability / longevity, save the money.
If there is, $5000 can buy a couple GM 5.3L motors, for example.

The Tahoe drivetrains should last a couple hundred thousand miles.
The Sequoia is a nice truck in most ways. Is it worth the money?
