Discover The Features Of The All-New 2025 Toyota 4Runner

After almost 15 years, Toyota has finally unveiled the next generation of the 4Runner SUV. The 2025 Toyota 4Runner marks the sixth generation of the legendary midsize off-roader. The new 4Runner is built on the TNGA-F global truck platform which also underpins the Tacoma, Land Cruiser, Tundra, and Sequoia. From the outside, Toyota has nailed the design. It looks solid, muscular, and well-equipped to handle any terrain with ease. Now let’s look at the prominent features and new additions Toyota has endowed their latest and greatest 4Runner with.

Turbo And Turbo-Hybrid Powertrains To Choose From

The new 2025 Toyota 4Runner is offered with two powertrain options. The base engine, dubbed iForce, is a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-4 motor capable of generating 279 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. This motor will power the SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited trims as standard. For more vigor, buyers can opt for the stronger i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, comprising a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine paired to a 48-hp electric motor. This setup is capable of producing up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid power plant is optional for the TRD Off-Road and Limited trims and standard in the TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and Platinum grades.

2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter — An All-New Factory-Built Overlanding Trim

While the 4Runner has always been rugged and exceptionally capable off the beaten path, this time around it also comes packed with some factory-built overlanding gear. The all-new Trailhunter trim is loaded to the brim with overlanding-centric features. These include ARB’s Old Man Emu (OME) 2.5-inch forged shocks with more travel, which comes paired with 33-inch Toyo Open Country all-terrain tires, immensely boosting the overall ruggedness of the 4Runner. On top of that, the Trailhunter also gets a high-mount air intake, rock rails, and high-strength skid plates as standard equipment. The 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter grade offers the perfect overlander that isn’t just capable, but also protected by manufacturer warranty.

Lots Of Tech And An All-New, High-End, Platinum Trim

The outgoing generation Toyota 4Runner is clearly showing its age. It isn’t able to keep up with its direct competitors, whether it be the Ford Bronco or the Jeep Wrangler, in terms of tech features. However, the 2025 4Runner arrives as a groundbreaking product in terms of technology and infotainment features. The central infotainment touchscreen is either a standard 8-inch unit or a massive 14-inch optional setup. Both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are supported, while there are USB-C charging ports supplied all around the cabin. The instrument cluster is a 7-inch unit in the lower trims and a larger 12.3-inch digital screen in the higher grades. Along with all the tech upgrades, Toyota has also enhanced the interior quality of the upcoming 4Runner, especially in the newly introduced Platinum trim. This top-of-the-line trim comes equipped with features including heated second-row seats.

An Innately Rugged, Immensely Capable, And Exceptionally Loaded Midsize SUV

From the revealed spec sheet and information, the upcoming 2025 Toyota 4Runner is a force to be reckoned with (or should I say an “iForce”?!). The new 4Runner gets much stronger engines and much more equipment compared to the outgoing generation. It also promises a more versatile lineup consisting of the usual low-end grades followed by the TRD Off-Road, Limited and TRD PRO trims and the newly introduced Trailhunter and Platinum grades. The interior looks modern and well-built, featuring quality materials and appreciable practicality features. Overall, it seems that the 2025 Toyota 4Runner will take the market by storm. This rugged beast is sure to give its opponents some true competition and will potentially reign over them as the segment champion.
