Sequoia, Tahoe, Suburban, Denali, Expedition, Escalade, QX80, LX 600 & Grand Wagoneer — Which Full-Size SUV Is Right for You?

Among these nine, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer's gas engine is rated up to 10,000 lbs — the highest in this comparison — with the Ford Expedition close behind at up to 9,600 lbs with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. The Toyota Sequoia tows up to 9,520 lbs on rear-wheel-drive trims. The Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, and GMC Yukon Denali are all rated 8,200–8,400 lbs on the shared GM full-size platform, and the INFINITI QX80 and Cadillac Escalade are rated around 8,100–8,500 lbs. The Lexus LX 600 is rated lowest in this group at 8,000 lbs. For a mid-size ski boat or pontoon at Lake Lanier's Laurel Park ramp, any of these nine can handle it — the Grand Wagoneer and Expedition simply give you the most margin. Nalley Toyota locations can spec a Sequoia with the tow package before you take delivery.

The Tahoe wins on maximum cargo at 122.7 cubic feet and offers three engine choices, including a 3.0L Duramax diesel with roughly 624 miles of estimated highway range per tank. The Expedition wins on towing (up to 9,600 lbs vs. the Tahoe's 8,400 lbs) and highway fuel economy (up to 24 mpg on the 4x2 Active vs. the Tahoe's 19–20 mpg), and it starts lower at roughly $57,400 versus the Tahoe's $60,700. For families who haul more than they tow, the Tahoe's cargo room is hard to beat — though its own Suburban sibling beats both of them outright. For families who tow more than they haul, the Expedition's rating and mpg make more sense. Nalley doesn't sell either — if you're cross-shopping this pair, it's worth also looking at the hybrid Toyota Sequoia, which splits the difference on efficiency.

The Suburban is the Tahoe's extended-wheelbase sibling — 226.3 inches long versus the Tahoe's 211.3 inches — and that extra 15 inches translates directly into cargo: 144.5 cubic feet maximum versus the Tahoe's 122.7 cubic feet, the largest gap between any two vehicles in this entire comparison. Towing drops slightly on the Suburban (8,200 vs. 8,400 lbs) and it starts about $3,000 higher. For third-row legroom on long road trips or serious cargo hauling, the Suburban's extra length earns its keep. For tighter Atlanta parking decks — Buckhead, Midtown, the Battery — the Tahoe is easier to live with day to day. Neither is sold by Nalley.

The Sequoia is hybrid-only across every 2026 trim, at roughly 20–22 mpg combined — meaningfully better than the Tahoe's 16–17 mpg on the standard 5.3L V8. The Sequoia also outguns the Tahoe on horsepower, 437 hp to 355 hp on the Tahoe's base V8. The Tahoe answers with dramatically more cargo room (122.7 cu ft max vs. the Sequoia's 86.9 cu ft) and a lower starting price ($60,700 vs. $67,920). If fuel cost on I-285 commutes matters most, the Sequoia's hybrid powertrain is the more efficient choice in this comparison. If maximum cargo for gear, strollers, or a home-improvement run matters more, the Tahoe has the edge — though it isn't sold at Nalley. Nalley Toyota Marietta and Roswell carry Sequoia in inventory.

The Yukon Denali wins on maximum cargo (122.8 cu ft behind the first row vs. the QX80's 101 cu ft) and starts about $5,540 lower at $80,400. The QX80 wins on horsepower (450 vs. 420 hp) and warranty coverage — 4-year/60,000-mile basic and 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain versus the Denali's standard GM terms of 3-year/36,000-mile basic and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain. The Yukon Denali Ultimate, starting at $103,900, adds GM's newest cabin technology and a genuinely upscale interior. Nalley sells the QX80 and services it at factory-certified locations across Atlanta; the Yukon Denali is shown here for comparison only.

Among large SUVs IIHS has tested with its updated moderate-overlap front and side crash protocols, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer performed the best of the group — earning Good ratings on small-overlap and side-crash tests and a Marginal rating on the tougher updated moderate-overlap test. It was the only one of the three IIHS evaluated (Wagoneer, Tahoe, Expedition) to qualify for even a base Top Safety Pick, though it still fell short of Top Safety Pick+ because none of the three offers good rear-seat protection. The Chevrolet Tahoe earned a Poor rating on that updated moderate-overlap test, and the Ford Expedition rated Marginal. The Toyota Sequoia did not earn a 2026 Top Safety Pick award, missing due to a marginal moderate-overlap rating (a "submarining" issue with the rear lap belt) and poor-rated headlights on tested trims. IIHS has not published full overlap and side ratings for the INFINITI QX80, Lexus LX 600, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon Denali, or Cadillac Escalade as of this comparison — verify current ratings directly with IIHS before deciding on crash performance alone.

The QX80 wins on power (450 hp vs. 409 hp), maximum cargo (101 cu ft vs. 64 cu ft), and starting price ($85,940 vs. $107,950). Warranty is close — both carry 4-year/50-60K basic and 6-year/70K powertrain coverage. The LX 600 carries Toyota Land Cruiser-based off-road hardware (proven 4WD system and Multi-Terrain Select) and a shorter overall length (201 in. vs. 211.2 in.) that's easier to park at Buckhead or Truist Park garages. For buyers who want maximum cargo and the most standard horsepower, the QX80 leads. For buyers prioritizing off-road pedigree and easier parking, the LX 600 leads. Both are at Nalley INFINITI and Nalley Lexus locations across Atlanta.

The Escalade starts highest of the three at $91,100 ($94,100 for the extended ESV), but justifies part of that with a 55-inch Horizon Display spanning the dashboard — the largest screen in this entire comparison — and, on the ESV, 142.8 cubic feet of max cargo, more than any other vehicle on this page except the Suburban. Against the QX80, the Escalade trails on standard horsepower (420 vs. 450 hp) and starting price. Against the LX 600, the Escalade offers more cargo and cabin tech but less off-road pedigree. Warranty-wise, the Escalade matches the QX80 and LX 600 at 4-year/50,000-mile basic and 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain — the best coverage tier in this comparison. Nalley sells the QX80 and LX 600; the Escalade is shown here for comparison only.

The Lexus LX 600 is the shortest vehicle in this comparison at 201.0 inches overall, making it the most manageable of these nine in Atlanta parking decks. The Toyota Sequoia (208.1 in.), GMC Yukon Denali (210.1 in.), Ford Expedition (209.9 in.), Chevrolet Tahoe (211.3 in.), INFINITI QX80 (211.2 in.), and Cadillac Escalade (211.9 in.) are all within a few inches of each other. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer (214.7 in.) and the extended-length Chevrolet Suburban (226.3 in.) are the longest of the nine. All are body-on-frame or full-frame-based SUVs, taller than a typical compact crossover — if a downtown Atlanta parking deck posts a clearance height, it's worth checking before you commit to a specific garage, especially with the Suburban.

For genuine off-pavement capability on North Georgia's forest service roads, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Lexus LX 600 lead this group — both are built on proven 4WD platforms with low-range transfer cases and terrain-select drive modes, and the LX 600 in particular carries the Land Cruiser's off-road pedigree. The Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro trim adds off-road-tuned suspension and all-terrain tires for drivers heading toward Amicalola Falls or Vogel State Park. For the highway stretch itself — GA-400 to Dahlonega or US-19 into Blue Ridge — the Sequoia's hybrid powertrain and the Expedition's EcoBoost V6 are the more fuel-efficient options of this group for the drive there and back.

The Chevrolet Suburban leads this entire comparison at 144.5 cubic feet maximum cargo — the extended-wheelbase sibling of the Tahoe, and a real difference for Home Depot runs or Braves-game tailgate gear. The Cadillac Escalade ESV follows at 142.8 cubic feet, then the Chevrolet Tahoe at 122.7 cubic feet and the GMC Yukon Denali at 122.8 cubic feet behind the first row. The INFINITI QX80 (101.0 cu ft), Jeep Grand Wagoneer (96.9 cu ft), Ford Expedition (108.5 cu ft behind the first row), Toyota Sequoia (86.9 cu ft), and Lexus LX 600 (64 cu ft) round out the group. For hauling plywood, tailgate gear, or furniture, the Suburban is the clear choice among these nine — though Nalley's closest equivalent in stock is the QX80.

The INFINITI QX80, Lexus LX 600, and Cadillac Escalade share the best coverage in this comparison — QX80 at 4-year/60,000-mile basic and 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain, LX 600 and Escalade both at 4-year/50,000-mile basic and 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain. The Toyota Sequoia, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon Denali, Ford Expedition, and Jeep Grand Wagoneer all carry the more standard 3-year/36,000-mile basic and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain terms. The Sequoia partially closes the gap with a 10-year/150,000-mile hybrid battery warranty and 2-year/25,000-mile ToyotaCare free maintenance — coverage the non-hybrid competitors in this group don't offer. All three Nalley-sold models are serviced at Nalley's factory-certified locations across Atlanta.
