Between the V8 and V6, I chose the V6 (mainly becuase I didn't have many to choose from @ that price point), but also becuase MAX towing capacity is 5000lbs on both. The 2005 V8 increases Towing capacity to 7000lbs, but I couldn't afford a new 4runner since I am getting jetski's. V8 torque would have been nice though, but this will do (as long as it can tow my 240 to Atlanta and back).
