Five Things To Know About the All-New 2025 Toyota 4Runner

Toyota’s all-new 2025 4Runner is raising the bar in more ways than one. Living up to its rich legacy, the sixth-generation model delivers on performance, durability and premium amenities that have made it a front-runner in the company’s SUV lineup for the past four decades.

Designed in Michigan by the CALTY Design Research (CALTY) studio, the iconic off-roader is ready to take customers on their next adventures with the 2025 model year. From rugged terrains to smooth pavement, the all-new 4Runner is up for the challenge.

Here are five things to know about the 2025 Toyota 4Runner.

Striking A Balance 
The all-new 4Runner is stylish in every sense of the word and in a class all its own.

Designers reimagined the legacy “wrap over” quarter glass and the vehicle’s classic roll-down rear window, which were standout features with the first and second generations.

Designers blended modern sophistication while retaining 4Runner’s authenticity – qualities that loyal customers have grown accustomed to. The second-row tumble seats also help increase the 4Runner’s interior versatility and maximize cargo floor usage.

Built To Perform
The 2025 4Runner is built on Toyota’s TNGA-F global truck platform, which is shared with Tacoma, Land Cruiser, Tundra and Sequoia. This strong platform utilizes a high-strength boxed, steel-ladder frame and features a multi-link coil rear and double wishbone front suspension.

These features add strength and improve the comfort of the ride for passengers, even those seated in the available third row.

The all-new 4Runner’s standard models (SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium and Limited grades) boast an i-FORCE turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft. of torque paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

That kind of performance lays the groundwork for taking customers on adventurous journeys like heading to campgrounds for the weekend or taking a scenic drive through winding roads to witness the majesty of beautiful groves. The standard i-FORCE engine puts the pedal to the metal for an unforgettable ride.

Pump Up the Power
For adventurers who want an electrified powerful performance, the i-FORCE MAX 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain delivers. The all-new 4Runner provides up to 326 net combined horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque and includes an 8-speed automatic transmission and up to 6,000-lb. towing capacity to help customers go harder than before.

This amped-up engine is available on the TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium and Limited grades and comes standard on the TRD Pro, Trailhunter and Platinum grades. It’s a powerful powertrain offered on 4Runner and makes it the ideal vehicle for navigating rugged terrains and exploring the backcountry.

Ready for Off-Roading
Whether you’re driving over unpaved surfaces like dirt, sand, gravel, or other natural elements, the all-new 4Runner Trailhunter grade will help drivers tackle the roads. Built for overlanding, the Trailhuner iteration comes standard with integrated off-road equipment from ARB®, Old Man Emu® and RIGID Industries®.

It’s outfitted for epic excursions in a way that enables customers to traverse rugged terrains with ease.

Simply put, these features help make the boldest off-road excursions seamless, fun and, of course, adventurous.

New Grade, New Frontier
Amenities like the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 features are standard on all 2025 4Runner grades.

The all-new 4Runner expands its grade offering to provide customers with more choices. There are nine grades available, including SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off Road, TRD Off Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro and the aforementioned Trailhunter.

All grades are praiseworthy and the Platinum grade is a first for the 2025 4Runner. It offers a luxury experience that surpasses expectations for many SUVs. That’s because its exterior and interior features grab attention at every turn. With its sleek, black exterior and can’t-miss styling elements, it embodies luxury and refinement without compromising its traditional DNA. The Platinum grade is a premium choice for those who enjoy going out for a night at the opera just as much as camping out in the woods. It’s the best of both worlds thanks to its impressive capabilities and stylish design.

What’s more, the heated second-row seats and automatic rain-sensing wipers elevate the entire journey.

Overall, no matter customers’ performance or style preferences, the all-new 2025 4Runner has something for just about everyone. It exemplifies the company’s philosophy of continuous improvement. The beloved SUV nameplate is the perfect blend of the future while including some classic elements from the past.
