Everyone loves more power, and of course everyone with a V8 thinks we all need one. I don’t rock crawl but my V6 goes everywhere I want to go. Watch a couple of videos on my YT channel (linked in my sig) - if that’s the off-roading you’re thinking about, the V6 will be more than fine.

IMO, the V8’s advantages are insignificant if you consider the relatively few times the engine may really make a difference, and from what I’ve read, you’ll be wishing for a V6 every time you change your oil and when you’re dropping big $ on a timing belt change every 100K miles.

Bottom line: either one is a great offroad truck.
