The V8 has leather and all the goodies, nice looking aftermarket wheels and the 06 body style is sharp.. Gas mileage is a little worse but it seems like only 1 or 2 mpg less..The v8 has a timing belt VS a timing chain.. The v6 has about 20k less miles but Im not sure how much that really matters in these vehicles..Cant wait to go see them soon..hopefully today
I've seen 4runners with over 200k on them and they still run great! V6 if you are not towing heavy loads, plenty of power and torque!
The ONLY issue I know of with the V6 Yotas is the head gasket going bad randomly for no reason at higher miles. My personal mechanic and good friend swayed me from the V6 model and suggested the V8 for that reason. He's a Toyota master mech. and has had his own shop for 25 years and done very well.
In your case, I'd go Toyota all day. I own a Nissan Xterra and I've owned the 4Runner too. There isn't any comparison. The Toyota is just a nicer, better quality and more reliable all around make.

Nissans are disposable vehicles. Get the 'yota.
Cool..toyota it is..so I now have a Lexus gx470 in the mix..one has 135k miles and 1 has 115k miles.. from what, I'm reading they are pretty bullet proof..any of you guys has experience with them?
The v6 4 runner was sold...and shamefully there is a rav4 sport package 4 wd in the running too now..it's got low miles and great gas mileage. .hmmm

My mom has one. Is about as smooth of a driving vehicle you will find.
I've got 382,000 on my v6 4runner. Original almost everything. Still runs perfect. Had the 4.7l v8 in my wife's lexus Lx470 and the head gasket went at around 250k, but it was because the radiator sprung a leak and it overheated. We only got around 14mpg out of the LX but it is a heavy 4wd.
