Test drive both, then ask yourself "Do I need V8 towing power, or will the V6 be fine?? Mileage (about 2mpg difference), cost, resale??"
There are SO many variables!! Some people have buyers remorse after getting the V6 then wish they had a V8. I don't know why, I am glad for my decision to get a V6, and price was not an issue.
Sometimes the ego gets in the way of the decision of what vehicle to get, and salespeople really know how to use that as well. If you ask a salesperson about the choice, then for sure they want to sell a V8 to you. It means a higher priced vehicle.
The debate about reliability of one over the other is endless. I haven't yet seen a single thread where someones truck had an engine failure. Not one. Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but I'm fairly confident they are both reliable motors.
In the end, it's a personal choice, so drive both and decide.
