SUV for towing over 5k lbs

[heyjerr]

We are currently looking into buying a boat in the near future (TBD) for Lake Tahoe. We anticipate being on the lake all day many times, so I want to make sure there is a small porta potty room. Unfortunately, this means I will want to buy a larger boat (bowrider, >23'). When I add up the boat, trailer, fuel, supplies, etc, the weight goes beyond the 5k towing limit of my 2020 4Runner. I tend to keep my vehicles for many years, so I am looking for a used SUV that is fairly new and reliable while still having some offroad capability.

Currently I'm leaning towards a Z71 Tahoe but am wondering if I have overlooked other options. Curious to know what others might think.
--for those who might recommend a pickup truck, what are your thoughts on driving over Donner Summit during a snowstorm w/o adding weight in the truckbed?

Toyota sequoia.

Depending on the year of manufacture, GM v8s in many (not all, depends on the truck or suv) are crapping out under 100k miles. There might be a huge lawsuit either filed or about to be. Google it

I have to say Ford before @Harley gets here and says "Anything but Ford."

We are on our third Tahoe… had one since 2005 and can’t see being without one.

Can’t go wrong with a Chevy!
