I am wondering vvt-i and added 35 hp (2005+) is really worth spending 1-2k more versus the older years without? Is the power and MPG noticeable? I won't be doing much towing, but more looking to build it for off-road usage..

I think I also heard that the 2005+ has an upgraded drive axle?

Any advice greatly appreciated.
Go drive an '03-04 and see if it's enough power for you. It's always nice to have more, but the non-vvti engine makes lots of power all the same. And no secondary air pump system to fail on the non-vvti engine.
