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

Toyota said pricing for the 2025 4Runner will be released closer to its on-sale date. Starting prices for the 2024 model range from around $41,000 to more than $55,000.
While Toyota is known for its economy vehicles like the Prius, its larger SUV siblings, including the 4Runner, had much worse fuel ratings before the update — at 17 mpg combined or less, according to federal assessments. The current 4Runner has been on sale, with some updates, since 2010.
Toyota said mpg ratings for the new 4Runner will be released closer to the vehicle hitting showrooms in the fall. Toyota’s other redesigned trucks and SUVs have significantly improved fuel economy.
Jack Hollis, executive vice president of Toyota Motor North America, last month told CNBC that the company continues to balance its truck and SUV portfolio, including potential hybrids, plug-in hybrids and all-electric models.
“These brothers, they all have a lot of similarities and they have a lot of differences,” he said. “How do we reduce carbon emissions faster with everyone, everywhere? It’s about having the right mix between these five products.”

The 4Runner’s available hybrid engine is a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine with a 48-horsepower electric motor mated to an eight-speed transmission to produce up to 326 horsepower and 465 foot-pounds of torque. The vehicle’s standard 2.4-liter turbocharged 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 new Trailhunter model features additional styling and off-road equipment such as rock rails and high-strength steel skid plates, while the Platinum model is geared toward more comfort and luxury features.
Production of the 2025 4Runner takes place at Toyota’s Tahara plant in Japan.
Correction: The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is the first new version of the vehicles in 15 years. An earlier version of the article misstated how many years had passed.
