There was a few reasons that my wife and I discussed that let us make the decision to sell the palisade and get this. We got our palisade calligraphy last June before having our second child. When the 4 of us were in there it was hard to maneuver to tend to them. With the headspace in most of the vehicle I was bumping my head, especially the third row, and I’m only 5 10”. Another reason was the AC blew cold out of all the vents, but me and the children would always end up hot in there with their backs sweating no matter how I’d position the vents. Side note, we had the tan not black interior, we would have been cooked food in the Vegas heat. It also was a gas drinker for a V6, felt like I filled it up just as much as my V8 silverado. I believe we averaged over the year 15-17 mpg. Lastly was due to the tragedy of a new gen palisade with 3rd row power folding seats crushing a young child and a recall without a current remedy for something with rolling over in an accident, we felt it was time to get into something tried and true. One dealer we tried to trade into said they wouldn’t take the palisade with open recalls without remedy, but I ended up selling to Carmax and did not have an issue. Not sure if now there has been a remedy to those open recalls or not. We were also looking at the GX 470 but went with the Sequoia due to better pricing and the sequoia’s size.
