The Toyota 4Runner, a name synonymous with rugged adventure and reliability, is entering a new era with the release of its 2025 model. Here are ten essential aspects of this redesigned classic that enthusiasts and potential buyers should know.
The 2025 4Runner is built on Toyota's innovative TNGA-F global truck platform, enhancing its strength, comfort, and driving performance. This new foundation, shared with other Toyota legends like the Tacoma and Land Cruiser, introduces a multi-link coil rear and double wishbone front suspension, elevating ride comfort even when fully loaded.
Two turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder powertrains are introduced. The standard i-FORCE engine produces 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. For those seeking more power, the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain offers up to 326 horsepower and a whopping 465 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful 4Runner yet.
Toyota unveils the Trailhunter, a factory-developed overlanding rig equipped with ARB®, Old Man Emu®, and RIGID Industries® gear. It's tailored for adventurers seeking robust off-road capabilities without aftermarket modifications.
The introduction of the first-ever Platinum grade elevates the 4Runner into luxury territory. With unique styling, enhanced creature comforts like heated second-row seats, and advanced tech, it promises a premium experience without compromising the 4Runner's rugged charm.
Featuring a new 8-inch or optional 14-inch touchscreen, the latest Toyota Multimedia system supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The digital gauge cluster, available in 7-inch or 12.3-inch sizes, alongside cutting-edge connectivity features, positions the 4Runner at the forefront of in-vehicle technology.
Inspired by desert racing, the 4Runner's design ethos balances athletic ruggedness with a modern aesthetic. The Michigan-based CALTY design team focused on functional beauty, incorporating iconic elements like the “wrap over” quarter glass and roll-down rear window into the vehicle's DNA.
The 4Runner's off-road capabilities are further enhanced with features like the Stabilizer Bar Disconnect Mechanism for increased suspension articulation and Multi-Terrain Select system for optimized traction. Its robust build and advanced features make it a formidable off-road vehicle.
Thanks to the sturdy frame and powerful i-FORCE MAX powertrain, the new 4Runner boasts a towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds, accommodating a wide range of trailers and accessories for all your adventures.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard, offering an array of advanced safety features including Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, and Proactive Driving Assist, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.
With seven grades available, including the adventure-ready Trailhunter and luxurious Platinum, the 2025 4Runner offers a variety of options to suit different tastes and needs. Whether it's tackling challenging trails or cruising the city streets, the 4Runner is equipped to explore without limits.
Slated for sale in Fall 2024, the all-new 2025 Toyota 4Runner is poised to redefine the standards of off-road capability and on-road comfort, continuing its legacy as a versatile and durable SUV ready for the future.
