New for the 6th generation 4Runner is the 2.4 liter turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, standard on the TRD Pro, the first-ever Trailhunter and Platinum and available on TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium and Limited grades. A 2.4-liter turbo four-cylinder i-FORCE engine is standard on the SR5, TRD Sport, and TRD Sport Premium grades, and available on TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium and Limited.
The i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbo offers up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque and has up to an EPA-estimated 26 MPG highway. The second powertrain, the i-FORCE MAX hybrid, produces up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. The i-FORCE MAX 4Runner brings all the power and capability midsize SUV fans love and has up to an EPA-estimated 24 MPG highway rating.
The 4Runner embraces its adventurous roots and takes them to the next level with the all-new Trailhunter grade. Trailhunter builds upon Toyota’s legendary off-road and overlanding credibility with purpose-built engineering and robust components. Exclusively powered by i-FORCE MAX, Trailhunter includes standard features such as Old Man Emu® shocks, a low-profile high-mount air intake, 33-inch Toyo® tires with 18-inch bronze-finished wheels, an on-board air compressor and distinctive exterior features like RIGID Industries® color selectable LED fog lamps, an ARB® roof rack and the bronze-colored “TOYOTA” heritage-inspired grille with an integrated LED Light Bar.
The TRD Pro is also an i-FORCE MAX exclusive grade and packs in additional standard features like TRD-Tuned FOX® QS3 adjustable shocks with rear remote reservoirs, a TRD performance air intake and 33-inch Toyo® tires with 18-inch black alloy wheels.
4Runner is available in 2-Wheel, part-time 4-Wheel and Full-time 4-Wheel Drive. All i-FORCE MAX grades come standard with 4-Wheel Drive that is ready for the road or trail. The Limited and Platinum grades have Full-time 4-Wheel Drive with an electronic locking center differential.
A Firm Foundation
The 4Runner utilizes Toyota’s TNGA-F global platform shared with the Tacoma, Tundra, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia. Much like its brethren, high-strength steel with blanking and laser welds are used throughout the chassis to increase rigidity over the previous generation, and aluminum is used on the upper body to reduce weight. Frame crossmembers are also strengthened to increase durability. Enhanced ride and handling characteristics on 4Runner were brought to life with suspensions tuned specifically to each grade. For instance, TRD Sport has TRD Sport-tuned shocks for a more responsive feel. The TRD Off-Road grade is equipped with monotube Bilstein® remote reservoir shocks for extended wheel travel and greater heat dissipation and includes an end stop control valve (ESCV) that provides increased damping force as the suspension comes closer to full bound stroke.
TRD Pro comes fitted with TRD-tuned FOX® QS3 three-way adjustable internal bypass shocks with remote reservoirs for improved high speed off-road performance. Trailhunter includes Old Man Emu® (OME) forged monotube shocks with remote reservoirs that are tuned for optimum levels of off-road control and load carrying capability.
The Limited and Platinum grades feature adaptive variable suspension tuned for on road conditions to help give the 4Runner a smooth and luxurious ride.
4Runner features Electric Power Steering (EPS) to provide improved steering feel and facilitate the incorporation of additional safety and convenience features.
Trail Ready
One noteworthy feature of the all-new 4Runner is the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM), which is standard on Trailhunter and TRD Pro. SDM increases suspension articulation across the whole vehicle at the push of a button.
TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter drivers can view potential obstacles that are looming on the trail via the Multi-Terrain Monitor that can display crisply on the available 14-inch touchscreen. For tricky situations, 4Runner offers standard underbody protection and easy access recovery points.
4Runner will be offered in 2WD, part-time 4WD or Full-time 4WD. 2WD models will feature an automatic limited-slip differential (Auto LSD), and four-wheel-drive models have an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case with high/low range along with Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) and an automatic limited-slip differential (Auto LSD). An electronic locking rear differential is standard on TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro and Trailhunter grades. The Limited is offered with an available full-time four-wheel-drive system with a center locking differential on i-FORCE MAX models, while this setup is standard on Platinum grades.
Multi-Terrain Select is functional in both 4WD-High and 4WD-Low, offering adjustable settings to help control wheel spin on a variety of terrain such as Mud, Dirt, and Sand. 4Runner also makes available Toyota’s next-generation CRAWL Control technology that acts as a low-speed, off-road cruise control. When traction is extremely limited, the available electronically activated locking rear differential can help split power sent to the rear 50/50 between the rear wheels. Downhill Assist Control is another off-road feature available and helps the driver navigate descents by limiting the speed of the vehicle.
4Runner is designed and built for a wide variety of demands. Needing to pull a trailer, boat or UTV means towing capability is a crucial feature. Fortunately, 4Runner is up to the challenge thanks to its maximum towing capacity of 6,000 lbs.
Impressive towing capability is paired with available advanced towing features a trailer brake controller and a digital rear-view mirror. Trailer Back Up Guide with Straight Path Assist is also available and features a combination of sensors and cameras to help keep the trailer in a straight line while reversing, allowing the driver to focus solely on throttle and braking. This technology also gives the driver a 360-degree simulated top-down view of the vehicle to aid overall visibility, including tough-to-see areas around the truck and trailer. During regular on-road driving conditions, 4Runner’s standard Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) can identify when a trailer is being towed and extend the area of detection to recognize and alert the driver to potential hazards in blind spots for not only the vehicle, but the trailer as well.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 Standard
All 2025 4Runner models come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Toyota’s suite of active safety and convenience systems.
This suite of features includes:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
- Lane Tracing Assist
- Road Sign Assist
- Automatic High Beams
- Proactive Driving Assist
Including the addition of Proactive Driving Assist, the Toyota Safety Sense features have been enhanced for TSS 3.0:
The Toyota Safety Sense features have been enhanced for TSS 3.0:
- The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection has enhanced detection capabilities thanks to system sensors. It receives enhanced intersection support with improved detection capability in certain circumstances. In addition to pedestrian and bicyclist detection, this system now includes the capability to detect a motorcyclist.
- Lane Departure Alert will now provide Steering Assist as well as enhanced lane recognition that includes detection of certain 3D objects, like guardrails, that may be used to help define the lane.
- Dynamic Radar Cruise Control will have Full-Speed Range capability and adds a fourth following distance setting, from the previously available three. Enhanced vehicle detection allows for the ability to detect more than one preceding vehicle, as well as vehicles in adjacent lanes. This helps the system to provide smoother, more natural speed adjustments, especially when the driver changes lanes.
- Lane Tracing Assist and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control must be enabled for it to function. The system requires detectable lane markings in order to function. Like Lane Departure Alert, lane recognition is enhanced over prior TSS generations. In addition to lane centering, this system also helps provide more space between vehicles being passed in adjacent lanes. It works by offsetting the vehicles’ driving path with minor steering adjustments while keeping the vehicle within its lane.
- An Emergency Driving Stop System is a function of Lane Tracing Assist. It’s designed to monitor the driver’s inputs, such as steering operation, to determine if they’re inattentive or non-responsive, such as during a medical emergency. This feature is designed to bring the vehicle to a stop if the driver doesn’t respond to alerts to take control.
- Road Sign Assist is designed to detect speed limit signs, stop signs, Do Not Enter signs, yield signs, and certain warning signs, and display an icon of the sign on the Multi-Information Display (MID).
Limited Warranty
Toyota’s 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles and against perforation from corrosion for 60 months with no mileage limitation. Hybrid-related components that require repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship are covered for 8 years/100,000 miles, whichever comes first from original date of first use when sold as new. The hybrid battery is covered for 10 years/150,000 miles, whichever comes first, and is transferable across ownership.
The 2025 4Runner also comes with ToyotaCare, a plan covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance, for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, and 2 years, unlimited mileage of Roadside Assistance.
