Hey all, venturing over from the 40 section.
Looking to pick up a used 4th gen 4runner. Looking at a 2004 and 2006, both with the 4.7L V8. Generally speaking, how well do these engines do when they start to get up there in miles. One has 185k, the other 240k. Not looking for a long term hold, thinking 1-3 years then sell it. Both are well maintained, decently documented service on each rig up until about 120K then the records taper off, laziness I'd assume.
Just thought I'd ask the crowd here about the V8's longevity. I'm quite familiar with the 4.0 and 3.4L V6s, never owned a Toyota V8.
Thanks much,
Matt
