What benefit is a V8 over a V6 for an SUV, specifically the Toyota 4Runner? When is a V8 worth the extra cost?

I want to buy a new or used (no earlier than 2006) Toyota 4Runner with the sports edition trim. I plan on keeping my Corolla and using the 4Runner for trips, winter/bad-weather driving, and hauling things. I can't see myself pulling trailers very often, if ever, but I do like more power.
