V6 or V8? Would be nice to have the 8. But, having said that the V6 is bullet proof. Had that engine in my '96 T1oo(basically the 2000 is a rebadged T100) and it was solid, as was the truck. A well maintained Tundra of this year should be a solid truck. Back in '96 I did the Alpine Loop in my T100 4x4...very offroad capable truck. Just need a wee bit of real estate to turn :-)
