Chevrolet Tahoe LT vs. Dodge Durango vs. Ford Expedition vs. Nissan Armada vs. Toyota Sequoia - Conclusion - Fullsize SUV Comparison - Truck Trend

Our Pick

Ask us to pick an admiral of the fleet, and we'd have to give the position to two SUVs for different reasons, depending on how you want to wage your war. If maximum horsepower and pulling grunt is high on your list of must-haves, the Durango is the perfect choice. It has the second-largest towing capacity of the fleet, and it'll blow away most SUVs in stoplight dashes.

As we stated before, the new Ram's suspension tuning is a wonderful mix of plush and sport, and it's an absolute blast to drive on twisty mountain roads. The new interior is a huge improvement over its predecessor and is filled with creature comforts the kids will like.

For those who tow infrequently, but need maximum cargo capacity, a commodious interior for the entire crew, good fuel economy, and a good long-term investment, look no farther than the Toyota Sequoia.

We were consistently impressed by the Toyota's compliant ride, quiet cabin, good passing power, and cavernous cargo hold. Even though it carries the lowest tow rating of its competitors, it's a perfect match for 95 percent of the market. With its updated traction control that fully defeats when locked in four-wheel drive, the Sequoia is a natural on soft shale and deep sand. At $41,388, it falls in the middle of the competitive price range, is straightforward in execution, and is a rock-solid performer. Throw in Toyota's penchant for quality and long-term value, and it earns the five stars on its epaulets.
