The 4Runner lineup is expanding from seven trims to nine for the 2025 model year. They will be the SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off Road, TRD Off Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter. The standard powertrain will be an i-FORCE turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which is expected to produce up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque.
There will also be an available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain consisting of a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine, 48-hp electric motor, 1.87-kWh NiMH battery pack, and 8-speed automatic transmission—available on the TRD Off-Road and Limited, and standard on the TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and Platinum. The total output for this hybrid system is projected to be 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, with up to 6,000 pounds of towing capacity. Toyota has announced three drivelines for this reborn 4Runner: two-wheel drive (2WD), part-time four-wheel drive (4WD), and full-time 4WD. Although it hasn’t yet been confirmed which trims will have access to the available drivelines, you can count on full-time 4WD to come standard on the Platinum.
Although Toyota hasn’t released a final standard equipment list for each trim level, certain details have been disclosed. Every ‘25 4Runner will have a three-row interior with second-row tumble seats to provide flexible seating configurations and maximize available cargo space. The entry-level SR5 will have an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 7-inch gauge cluster, a power rear window, a smart key system with push-button start, and three USB ports in the front row.
The available features for higher trims will include a 14-inch touchscreen with the latest audio/multimedia system, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a wireless smartphone charging pad, digital key, a power liftgate, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and rear USB ports. Toyota has also stated that the Platinum will come with a towing tech package, unique black exterior designs, automatic rain-sensing wipers, a head-up display, and heated second-row seats.
As mentioned above, the Trailhunter will be an outdoor adventurer’s dream with its extra-rugged styling and abundance of specialized equipment. It will have ARB’s Old Man Emu 2.5-inch forged shocks with rear external piggyback remote reservoirs and a co-designed ARB roof rack. With the help of 33-inch Toyo Open Country all-terrain tires, these upgrades lift the Trailhunter by 2 inches in the front and 1.5 inches in the rear. This mighty trim will also have a standard low-profile high-mount air intake, rock rails, high-strength steel skid plates, a heritage grill with bronze “TOYOTA” lettering, a 20-inch LED light bar, and a powerful 2400-watt AC inverter to supply electricity to two locations in the cabin and the rear cargo area.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite will be installed on every ‘25 4Runner. This driver-assist suite consists of automatic high beams, a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, lane tracing assist with an emergency driving stop system, road sign assist, and proactive driving assist. Higher trims will also receive a blind spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert.
