That was me too when I traded in my 3rd Gen 2000 TR4, but the 4th Gen V8 makes the difference. It is smooth and powerful. I tested drove a 5th Gen which was very nice, but I still love the smoothness and power the V8 gives in the 2007.
I went to check out a 2012 4Runner with 12k, and they were asking 36k for it, and offered me 13K for my 2007 4Runner V8 with 102k. They went down to 33K on their's, and went to 15K on mine. I said, "I'm satisfied with my 4Runner, and drove off."
