There are quite a few '04 V8s available in my area: MidAtantic. Other than a horsepower increase, what is the 05 V8 advantage ? I'm missing something. Better miles/gallons ?

I had ruled out the 4Runner in my search for a great vehicle, thinking it had to be too much. Then, I missed a great deal on new and leftover 03, and have been trying to find something like it since. The sales guy couldn't tell me how to get into fourth gear !

Used 03s are almost as much as new, so here I am looking for a great deal on an 04 or 05. I want a car that can haul real estate lookers plus tow a boat w/o a struggle.I am also sick of paying a new car payment/month to keep what I have going. Any suggestions appreciated.
