If so, what do you like about each and if you had to pick one, which would it be?
Thanks!

We have 3 4Runners in the family: a '17 SR5 Premium, an '09 V6 Limited and an '03 V8 Limited. The best one by far is the V8 but it's really impractical for daily use because the gas mileage is simply a horror show. The '09 is very nice and certainly works well, feels a tad lighter on its feet than the V8, but it doesn't have that same smooth jet propulsion feel and it doesn't make that amazing sound. The '17 is very comfortable but feels topheavy, underpowered and pretty heavy (... that's the one that really needed a V8, perhaps the one from the GX460).
