For us, the switch from mini van to the Sequoia was more power. Big kids
weigh more than infants, and with frequent camping/climbing excursions on
rough, unpaved roads that are sometimes unplowed or muddy, towing the
troop's trailer, hauling the contents of the kids' dorm rooms to college,
the SUV made sense for us. Once the youngest is done with college, we'll
probably move to a Highlander or RX size SUV because I still plan on camping
and climbing, just with fewer kids.

BTW, unless you are hauling 4x8 sheets of plywood, the Sequoia has more room
than our minivan did, with room for 8 passengers in the Sequoia vs. 7 in the
minivan.
