After looking a few weeks for a 4th Gen I've found one that I'm considering buying. I wanted a V8 4x4 and came across a 2003 SR5 with 141k miles for $8400. Leather seats have a few bad spots but seat covers will fix that. Checked Carfax and it shows to have been a 1-owner with no accidents...

Ok thanks that clears it up. I don't always rely on a seller's description and like to look for the selector switch to make sure it's 4wd.

Ok so there are some V8's that are not AWD/4x4? My understanding was that if it was a V8, it was AWD.

I'm looking for a 4x4 and I'm a little confused about the V8 4Runners. I see some listed for sale as being 2wd but my understanding is that all V8 T4R's are all wheel drive, correct? To add to my confusion I've seen pictures on here of V8's with the 4x4 selector switch on the dash next to the...

I've been looking for the past few weeks for a 4runner, preferably an '05-07. I'm trying to get out of my current ride-an '09 Dodge Hemi 4x4. 70 miles round trip a day to work isn't helping the pocket book. I've found a few 4x4's in my area or within a couple hundred miles, but most have...

Thanks for all the input. I've found an '06 4x4 with the V8 close to where I live, hopefully nobody snatches it up before I can get there. I'll be posting pics if I get it.

Thanks for the input. I'll be going from a Ram 4x4 with a Hemi and one reason I'm looking at getting rid of it is because of crap gas mileage and I've got a 70 mile round trip drive to work. There wouldn't be a lot of pulling involved, and when there is it would be something relatively small...

I've been looking around the site and reading up on the differences between the V6 and V8. There doesn't seem to be much difference performance wise, at least nothing that would matter with what I'd be using it for. Other than having to replace the timing belt on the V8 and maybe a little better...
