Honestly, if I could find a V8 with the 3rd row, under 60k, for a good price I'd be all over it. AWD would be nice, but no required. My wife rarely put the 4Runner in 4wd, and I've been stepping lightly in RWD cars for years. It has stability and traction control, which would suffice.

Funny sidenote, some that are advertised as RWD are actually AWD, the dealer just doesn't know it. Other than a small yellow sticker on the radiator support/cover, there is no AWD marking, and no inside switch. There's one in KC that I like that is AWD, they just don't know it. We have a friendly local Caddy dealer that will run the VIN for me. Nearly all of the loaded V8 models out there are AWD, just due to how Cadillac did the option packages. The RWD V8 models normally have very few options.
