Be sure to confirm color of vehicle is in stock, certain colors are harder to come by.
Detailed review:
Although the Armada has the larger engine and towing capacity, I preferred the overall style and layout of the Sequoia. The seating for 8 would be a little tight for adults but the third row seats are definitely superior to the Armada. I enjoy the fact that the third row seating can be removed for additional cargo space as well. The running board is a must with a car that rides this high in my opinion, got the sports package and this is included. Handling is superior; drove a compact before this car and it took less than a day to get used to. Less positive notes are the Sequoia does not accelerate as quickly as I would have liked and the gas mileage is averaging around 15 MPG even though I have done mainly highway driving so far. These problems may have been partly due to the fact that I had six passengers with luggage :-). Overall the SR5 is a great value and a great SUV.
