 Narrowed my search down to new Sequoia and the Expedition based on the fold flat 3rd row seats and need for V8 for towing purposes.  After comparing the 2 vehicles, I was able to get a comparibly equipped Expy for 12K less than a Sequoia.  And, the Expy has a smooth 6 speed transmission and surprisingly I have 2K miles on it and trip computer is saying 16.4 mpg.  Hands down the best bang for the buck in the large SUV segment.  Buy it and use the extra $12k savings vs the Sequoia to pay for gas for the next 5 years!  Also, settle for the smaller standard tires and you will get better gas mileage.
