This is a cool thread. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34573
Some really put the T4R to the test and the V8 ones seem to excel for a vehicle of thier size:bigok:

I use mine pretty hard , frequently towing of tractors 3000 lbs or so . Off road when I can , but we have different off road here than most of these pics.
Daily driving I do drive pretty fairly aggressive . When I have to go on emergency calls , I drive very aggressive and fast . Love the V8 !!
I feel it's a pretty heavy duty truck , reason I call it a truck is because of how it's built and boxed frame.
We are still looking to add a Tacoma to the barn so we'll see whats up with that. The power of the Tundra would be excellent . Unfortunately the gas would kill me when she jumps back to $5 ++ per gal. soon.

I drive pretty aggressive too. Hate slow peope on the road. My favorite is to turns fast, you can see that on my tire wear. When the ABS kicks in while braking before the turn/curves I feel pretty satisfied. Maybe for me getting the OME was not the best idea, there are some times on the road when I wish I did not have that..
Well, my 'runner is pretty much of a workhorse (does that term even apply in english?).
I use it for all sorts of things. Drivin' trailers filled with grass and other heavy stuff, sometimes I have over 4tons in the rear. Heh.
I also use it to travel, and gettin' things like VHF repeaters through rough terrain to the mountain peaks where they are installed on top of.
From Tuesday, we went to a mountain close by to replace a broken VHF antenna.
The truck, (unfortunatly I didn't take pictures of him with the antenna on top if him! it's over 4m long.
)
Sometimes that little truck and I are sent on a rescue missions alone in the highlands of Iceland, in all kinds of weather...
He's been servin' me very well for the last 50.000km, 2 years since I bought him, now driven 300.000km

Well, as ole' slick Willie once said, "It depends upon what the meaning of the word "used" is...
During the winters around here, I frequently use her 4WD capabilities.
Fairly often I find goodies at garage sales which I just chuck into the big rear end.. this stuff wouldn't fit into a std. car.
I would like to be able to go offroading with her, but there really isn't anyplace where it's legal to do so in close proximity to where I am.

I don't know if I run my truck as hard as you do, but I do use the heck out of it.
When we go camping and attend music festivals I use my T4R to pull our camper (Fleetwood Avalon) plus supplies, which include a 100 pound Yamaha generator. I'm looking forward to adding the Helsley Arrow sway system this year to our setup. I use one of their tru-control brake controllers and it's very nice.
I also use my truck as my daily driver as well as for our family vacations. We put 18-20k miles on it a year. The thing is awesome. It's very comfortable and quiet and has been very reliable. I've never been happier with a vehicle than I am with my truck.
