2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro
Toyota
Toyota Motor revealed a recent 4Runner SUV for the primary time in nearly 15 years — completing a recent redesign of the automaker’s current trucks and SUVs.
Apart from its recent looks, that are much like the recently redesigned Toyota Tacoma pickup, the 2025 4Runner will be offered with a hybrid engine for the primary time in addition to recent “Platinum” and “Trailhunter” high-end trims.
“This all-new 4Runner has incredible versatility and capability that nicely rounds out our truck family,” Dave Christ, Toyota group vice chairman and general manager, said in a release. “We have sold over 3 million 4Runners over the past 40 years, and this sixth-generation model offers a cool recent look and incredible features yet retains the rugged style and capability our customers love about this adventure icon.”
Toyota’s “truck family” can be often known as the “five brothers”: the Tacoma and Tundra pickup trucks and the 4Runner, Land Cruiser and Sequoia SUVs. The 4Runner is the last to be redesigned and built on Toyota’s global truck platform, which debuted with the Land Cruiser and Tundra in 2021.

Toyota said pricing of the 2025 4Runner will be released closer to its on-sale date. Starting prices for the 2024 model range from about $41,000 to greater than $55,000.
While Toyota is understood for its fuel-efficient vehicles reminiscent of the Prius, its larger “brother” SUVs, including the 4Runner, had much worse fuel rankings prior to being updated — at 17 mpg combined or less, in keeping with federal rankings. The present 4Runner has been on sale, with some updates, since 2010.
Toyota said miles per gallon rankings for the brand new 4Runner will be released closer to the vehicle arriving in showrooms in the autumn. Toyota’s other redesigned trucks and SUVs have notably improved fuel economy.
Jack Hollis, executive vice chairman of Toyota Motor North America, last month told CNBC that the corporate continues to balance out its truck and SUV portfolio, including potential hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric models.
“Those brothers, all of them have a lot of similarities, and so they have a lot of differences,” he said. “How will we curb carbon emissions fastest with everyone, all over the place? It’s having the precise mix between those five products.”

The 4Runner’s available hybrid engine is a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine with a 48-horsepower electric motor integrated into the eight-speed transmission to supply as much as 326 horsepower and 465 foot-pounds of torque. The vehicle’s standard turbocharged 2.4-liter engine produces 278 horsepower and 317 foot-pounds of torque.
The 2025 4Runner will be offered in nine models: SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off Road, TRD Off Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter.
The brand new Trailhunter model features additional off-road styling and equipment including rock rails and high strength steel skid plates, while the Platinum model is geared toward more convenience and luxury features.
Production of the 2025 4Runner is happening at Toyota’s Tahara plant in Japan.
Correction: The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is the primary new edition of the vehicles in 15 years. A previous version of the article misstated what number of years it had been.
