Toyota Sequoia Vs. Chevy Tahoe Vs. Nissan Armada at 250,000 Miles: It's Not Even CloseAutoblogAdam LyntonFri, September 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleAutoblog and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article.Full-size SUVs get the hardest jobs in the driveway. Three rows of passengers, a trailer on the hitch, and long highway trips all add miles quickly. Their chances of reaching 250,000 miles are nowhere near equal.iSeeCars ranked 26 SUVs on the chance of clearing that mark, and the Toyota Sequoia finished ahead of every one of them. The Chevrolet Tahoe and the Nissan Armada landed 16 and 21 places further down.AdvertisementAdvertisementOne limit applies to every figure below. The rankings give a single result per model, worked out from how far examples of that model have traveled at each age, so a generation launched in the past few years carries almost none of the weight behind its model's number.The Sequoia Beats The SUV Average By Almost Nine TimesRankModelChance Of Reaching 250,000+ MilesVs.

The Tahoe's result is a sixth of it, and the Armada's is lower still, though both remain above the SUV average.The GM models do not land together either. The Suburban ranks four places and four and a half points above the Tahoe, despite sharing its platform and engines. Two rivals are missing from the comparison altogether, because neither the Ford Expedition nor any Jeep made the 26-model ranking.The Data Looks Backward, And All Three Have ChangedThe Sequoia's number rests largely on the 381-hp 5.7-liter V8 generation sold through 2022. The hybrid that replaced it has only been on sale since 2023, and Toyota makes the twin-turbo V6 i-FORCE MAX standard across the line, rated at 437 horsepower. Nissan made a similar move, replacing the Armada's V8 with a 425-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 in the 2025 redesign. The Tahoe is the holdout, still sold with a 355-hp 5.3-liter V8, a 420-hp 6.2-liter V8 or a 305-hp turbodiesel inline-six.NissanWhat It MeansSales and longevity do not line up for the Tahoe. It closed 2025 at 105,147 sales, up 8.6%, ahead of the GMC Yukon at 87,312 and the Chevrolet Suburban at 44,398, yet it ranks 17th of 26 for the chance of reaching 250,000 miles. Nissan sold 17,465 Armadas, up 14.4%, and the model sits last of the three on longevity. The Tahoe's place in the ranking also sits oddly next to its dependability record, since J.D. Power has named it America's most dependable large SUV four years running.2026 Chevrolet TahoeJared Rosenholtz/AutoblogRunning costs put the Armada ahead of the Tahoe, the reverse of the longevity order. CarEdge estimates 10-year maintenance and repair bills of about $6,821 for a Sequoia, $8,729 for an Armada and $9,967 for a Tahoe, with the chance of a major repair along the way at 16.6%, 23% and 26.9%.AdvertisementAdvertisementFor a used buyer planning to keep the SUV for years, the Sequoia has the strongest longevity record in the study, and that record was set by the V8 generation. The current hybrid Sequoia and the redesigned Armada have no comparable record yet.This story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 25, 2026, where it first appeared in the Features section.
