Trims and Powertrains

To provide an option for every buyer, Toyota will offer the 2025 4Runner in nine trims: SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off Road, TRD Off Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter. The base powerplant for the SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited grades will be a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine will be available on the TRD Off-Road and Limited and standard on the TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and Platinum grades. This powerplant pairs the turbo 2.4-liter engine with a 48-hp electric motor integrated into the transmission, resulting in a combined output of 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines are managed through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2025 4Runner will be offered in rear-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive (4WD), or full-time 4WD, depending on the trim and configuration.

Standard Features

Toyota hasn’t yet released many details on the standard equipment for each 2025 4Runner trim, although they have revealed that the trademark slide-down rear window, a fan favorite, will return across the lineup. Other standard features across all trims will include proximity keyless entry, push-button start, and four USB ports. Highlights of the new Platinum grade will expand on the Limited with heated second-row seats, a head-up display, a towing package, automatic rain-sensing wipers, and unique exterior treatments. The Trailhunter turns the 4Runner into a factory-built overlanding machine, with the most notable elements being ARB Old Man Emu (OME) 2.5-inch forged shocks and 33-inch Toyo Open Country tires. The combination gives the Trailhunter 2 additional inches of ground clearance up front and 1.5 inches in the back. This most-rugged 4Runner will also have high-strength steel skid plates, a grille with an integrated 20-inch LED light bar including RIGID fog lamps, and a high-mount air intake. Inside, a 2,400-watt AC inverter will come standard to provide power for electronics and small tools.

Advanced Driver Aids and Safety Technology

The automaker’s latest suite of advanced driving aids, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, is standard on all 4Runner grades. Its technologies will include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-tracing assist, road sign assist, automatic high beams, and proactive driving assist (PDA). As the newest update to Toyota Safety Sense, PDA provides gentle braking and steering support to maintain a safe vehicle distance and optimize control around curves. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert will also come standard.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The new 4Runner will get Toyota’s Audio Multimedia system with an 8-inch or 14-inch touchscreen (varying by trim and/or optional package). This infotainment technology includes wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration and access to Toyota Connected Services for cloud navigation, Wi-Fi connectivity, emergency help, vehicle monitoring, and remote features.
