thanks guys for all the responses. I need to find out about the maintenance on both vehicles before I make my decision. That is very important like you all have stated. I like the idea of the v8 and the toyota used certification. But not sure if its really worth it to me for the price...

so you guys would say go with the v8 even though its a little more expensive and has 25000 more miles. Never had a 4runner should I worry about the mileage?

thanks for the reply. I don't plan on doing any real off roading. It will probably be more of a grocery getter now with the baby on the way. However I will be doing a cheap lift with a little bigger tires nothing crazy. I think I could get the v6 for anywhere between 17-18. Any difference...

I have my choice narrowed down to 2 4runners. A. 06 sport black with 26k asking 19,995 V6 B. 08 sport gray with 51k asking 23,995 V8 certified I would like to know which one is a better deal? I'm not going to be towing anything more then a 2 place snowmobile trailer. So I don't really need the...

thanks again for the updates...I'm not to worried about fuel economy otherwise I would not buy a suv. with that being said I am very cheap and I want to get the most bang for the buck. I currently get about 16 mpg's with my wrangler, so I can expect about that with a 4runner. I will be going...

For those of you with the lifted v6 what kind of mileage are you guys getting?

zimm, That's good to know. what size lift and tires are you running?

Hopefully soon I will be pulling the trigger on the v8 if its still available. I need to sell my wrangler first. Not going to trade it in and take it up the tailpipe.

thanks everyone for the quick replies. I have not driven the v8 yet but I have driven the 6. I am coming from a jeep wrangler so it was way quicker then that. I tow a 2 place snowmobile trailer on the weekends about 30 miles one way. I am thinking the v8 with a lift and tires would handle...

I'm looking at buying a used 4runner 06-09 in the next few weeks. I have found decent deals on both the v6 and v8's with mileage around 50k. I would like to know which one will drive better with a lift. I'm thinking ome 3inch. Also which one will have better mpg's once they are lifted? I...

looking to get myself a used galactic gray 05 sport with 34k on it v6. What are you guys getting with lift and tires for mileage?

I am getting rid of my jeep and making the move to a 4runner finally! I do a little towing so I am thinking about the v8. I found a few options they are both about the same except for the color. 06 v8 sport with 60k miles for 16,999 from a dealer a good price? Also what kind of mileage can...
