What you'll find with the TB is the 4.2L 6 sucks gas. Many found in real world that the 5.3L got equal mileage. Not that those were very good either. The 6 is silky smooth though and a joy to drive, just don't expect very good mileage with either. That would be the big advantage of a 2008 Equinox.
As Fenwick points out, the TB has the old school GM interior craftsmanship, meaning there wasn't very much there, but the Eqinox isn't a lot better.
So basically you have a FWD/AWD platform vs a RWD/4WD platform. Both are roomy, the Equinox has the sliding rear seat BTW.
Neither is a bad choice, but neither is a great vehicle by 2011/2012 standards either.
Another decent choice, would be the latest version of the Saturn VUE. A short wheelbase version of the Equinox architecture. Nicer interior and it is still in production around the world as a Holden and Opel. Saturns are still serviced by GM dealers with no issues. The new body style came out in 2008.
