2025 Toyota 4Runner - Complete Look At The BRAND NEW 4Runner!

If you’re reading this, the Toyota 4Runner is probably important to you. By the end of our video, we'll have covered the two biggest questions you probably have: “Is this new truck better than the old one?” and “Should I buy a 4Runner or a Land Cruiser?”

2025 Toyota 4Runner Specs
Engine: 2.4-liter turbocharged inline-four hybrid
Output: 326 hp ; 465 lb-ft.
MPG: 23 mpg combined
Base Price: $57,770
As Tested: $59,420

So what exactly is new with this 4Runner? In short, everything. This is an entirely new generation and the first wholesale overhaul of the truck since 2009, when the fifth-generation 4Runner first debuted. That truck survived 15 model years, a staggering feat of endurance.

The end result of those fifteen years of development: Toyota built one of the most reliable and beloved body-on-frame SUVs ever. In a list of vehicles most likely to last 250,000 miles, Toyota trucks take nearly all top-ten slots with the 4Runner third on that list. Considering Toyota has built more than 3 million 4Runners since 1984, that’s a terribly impressive capstone. And a tough act to follow. 

This sixth-generation 4Runner aims to match your expectations of ultimate reliability while addressing major complaints about the outgoing fifth-gen 4Runner. Namely, that the old 4Runner was slow, inefficient, and woefully out of date—especially as its MSRP across all trims ballooned.

Rather than start from scratch, the 2025 4Runner is built atop the Toyota TNGA-F platform which underpins the rest of its trucks—the Tundra, Tacoma, Sequoia, and Land Cruiser. That means a boxed ladder frame paired with a more rigid body structure, as well as shared engines, drivetrain, mechanicals, infotainment appointments, and yes, even design ideologies.

The long-serving naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V-6 is dead. Long live the turbocharged inline-four. It comes in two flavors. The first is the so-called “I-Force” turbocharged inline-four, which makes 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. The second, called “I-Force Max,” is a hybridized version of the same engine packing 326 horses and 465-pound feet, courtesy of a 1.87-kilowatt-hour battery pack.

The SR5 trim, with 2WD and cloth seats and the lesser screens starts at $42,220 with delivery fees included. You’ll very likely want part-time 4-Wheel Drive ($2000) and maybe running boards ($345) if your partner is short. The third-row seating adds $770.

That’s $45,335 for a pretty bare-bones truck, but one that feels well-built, drives smoothly, and offers a quiet cabin. I guess that’s the 4Runner for you.

Our TRD Off-Road Premium cost $59,420 with the hybrid engine, the good screens included, improved seats and off-road features, plus optional pre-wired auxiliary switches, a moonroof, and the tow tech package.

The TRD Pro we drove was $68,350 with destination and no options. Add in some paint protection, mud flaps, and some sliders from the factory. You’ve hit a $70,000 4Runner. It’s capable, sure, but that’s a price to compete with luxury off-roaders.
