Keep my v6 or v8????
Need some help 4Runner team! The time has come where my 2005 v6 202k and 2003 v8 210k needs one to be replaced for the wif. We’ll likely get a GX460 or another 5th gen 4Runner.
Here is the prob… Which one do I sell, which one do I keep or do I post both?
Maintenance is meticulous on both with fluids and everything, but the 2005 has had brakes, suspension and 1 cat replaced more recent.
Other item - 2005 has the pesky timing chain cover leak that cost $1200-1500. When they are in there, I’d have them do water pump, belts, idlers and tensioners. So the 2005 would be set for another 200k and I’d get both CV axles replaced as they’ve been torn for 2-3 years.
Ugh… I love my V8, but that dang V6 would be set for another long bit, not sure if I’d recoup the funds selling. The V8 has the iconic 4.7 as well. It has not had the headers done and I hear a small tick when cold and goes away. So either way, each car would eventually need $2000.
So what should I do? Keep 1? Sell both and see who wins? Which would you keep?
