Look at the LX or GX Lexus. I love my GX and my Subaru Forester CVT for what it’s worth... They are warrantied up to 100K.
Yeah, start digging into WHY Subaru had to extend those warranties up to 100k from from 36k.
(Hint: NO car maker just voluntarily extends warranty coverage on existing vehicles out of the goodness of their heart. They do so because there's a huge problem, and are trying very hard to mitigate it and not anger 15-35% of the owners of their current production vehicles. That 15-35% figure, coincidentally, is the percentage of CVT's they anticipate failing before 100k, too. Magic how that works out, isn't it? )

The Toyota Sequoia is due for an update. It is very dated compared to the Odyssey.

Underpowered. Way, WAY underpowered for a 3-row SUV. We test drove one in May. It's actually unsettling how slowly it accelerates, even with only me, my wife, and the salesman. On-ramp merging with a heavy load (like 5-7 people) with so little power seems like it would be absolutely terrifying. We have a 2013 Ford Expedition right now, and it might not be perfect, but at least when you hit the gas pedal, it GOES, right NOW! The Subaru, not so much. Plus, the Subaru has the stupid CVT transmission, which Subaru is having all kinds of problems with now in vehicles that are 3-5 years old. No thanks.
Funny because the Ascent is faster to 60 than your 6yo Expedition. I'm not a Subaru fan at all but it sounds like you haven't driven one.
Uh, I think I can correctly recall a car I test drove, thank you very much. I don't care what the stats say, I drove it. It's definitely considerably slower than our Expedition. Even with 7 passengers and 5 bags of hockey gear in back, it still gets off the line faster than the Subaru felt.
Why are you pimping the Subaru so hard? Do you sell them or something? It's a bland, underpowered, scaled-up Outback. It can't tow even half what a Tahoe, Surburban, Expedition, Sequoia or Land Cruiser can. It's a car in a world of real trucks. Plus, it has a lousy transmission that is failing at unprecedented levels in the auto industry.
A turbo 4 and an NA V8 build power differently. If you had a vbox you would see the acceleration times would be the same (Ascent would probably even have the edge). You comparing a car-based crossover like the Ascent to the body-on-frame SUVs you listed which just cements the fact that you have no idea WTF you're talking about.

I'm not the one who brought up car-based SUV's into a conversation about truck-based platforms.
I don't know what I'm taking about? Really? How many SBC's have you rebuilt? Because I've built three in the last decade.
You think you know cars because you read Motor Trend or Automobile. I know cars because I rebuild them.
You're a guppy trying to argue with a shark.
Get lost.

Toyota and Lexus are the most boring and overrated vehicles on the market. Sure they are reliable but that is because they use the most outdated tech.
The Sequoia is so outdated and unappealing compared to the Chevrolet Tahoe and the Ford Expedition.

I don’t know why DCUM loves this vehicle. We looked at it and it’s just another mid-size SUV.
Because a lot of people on DCUM hate themselves and revel on in punishing themselves with a bland life.
