We love our blizzard pearl GX, but, the cabin just seems too small for my family on long trips which we take frequently. Also, my wife complains about lack of storage and "cubbies". I am looking at used Sequoia Limited 4WD's, in the 2006 to 2007 year range. I would much prefer the newer re-designed Sequoia but the price is a bit much to handle. Has anyone traded in their GX for more room? If so, what did you get? I like the used Sequoia, but, the interior just seems so bland and unexciting. I am also considering (against my better judgement) a used 2007 or newer Tahoe because of the interior luxury and all the bells and whistles that our GX has gotten us used to like rain sensing wipers, voice activated GPS, bluetooth, etc. I have looked at used Lexus LX's but they don't seem that much bigger than our GX. My wife also wants captains chairs in the middle row. Any comments from others that have made similar comparisons? Do you think the Tahoe's quality will be that inferior to the Sequoia? I feel like I'm choosing between either style/features or quality/reliability. Any comments from others who have made similar comparisons?

Thank you G Man: I was glad to get your response. Seems there has not been a lot of activity on the forum lately.

My wife's 2005 GX470 is just now at the 60,000 mile mark and the dealer has mailed me a reminder that it's time for service. I realize a lot of the items on their recommended list of things to do are probably not necessary, and, could possibly be done cheaper at a Toyota dealership. Would anyone here be able to identify what items need to be addressed at the 60,000 mile mark and whether or not it would be OK to have the service done outside of the Lexus dealeship? My GX is a Lexus certified pre-owned. Thanks, David
