For off-road vehicles, few names command as much respect and admiration as the Toyota 4Runner. This iconic SUV has carved an unparalleled legacy over four decades, establishing itself as the benchmark for go-anywhere capability and rugged adventure. Now, Toyota is pushing boundaries once again with the all-new 2025 4Runner. A masterpiece of engineering and design, this sixth-generation model raises the bar for off-road supremacy while delivering a level of refinement and technological innovation never seen before in this legendary nameplate.
Powertrains Engineered for Exploration
At the heart of the new 4Runner's incredible off-road proficiency are two ultra-modern turbocharged powertrains designed to turn even the toughest trails into an exhilarating playground. The standard i-FORCE 2.4-litre turbo four-cylinder engine delivers a potent 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque - plenty of muscle to conquer steep inclines and power through demanding terrain.
For the ultimate in off-road prowess, however, the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid system is in a class of its own. This cutting-edge powertrain pairs the turbo engine with an electric motor to produce a staggering 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque - the most powerful setup ever offered in a 4Runner. Mated to an intuitive 8-speed automatic transmission and Toyota's advanced 4WD systems, these powertrains provide effortless grip and control no matter how challenging the conditions.
Extreme Capability, Uncompromising Comfort
While exhilarating performance is a given, the new 4Runner takes capability to even greater heights with its exceptional engineering and intelligent off-road systems. Built on Toyota's heavy-duty TNGA-F global truck platform with a robust boxed steel ladder frame, this SUV offers uncompromising strength and durability to handle even the toughest trails and expeditions.
When venturing far off the grid, the cutting-edge Multi-Terrain Select system allows you to optimize traction over various surfaces like mud, sand, and rocks with simple dial adjustments. The available Crawl Control function acts as a low-speed cruise control, enabling you to focus on navigating obstacles. For extreme terrain, you can count on features like the electronic locking rear differential and the new Stabilizer Bar Disconnect system to maximize traction and wheel articulation.
Yet for all its brawn, the 2025 4Runner refuses to compromise on comfort and daily drivability. The reimagined interior masterfully blends premium amenities like available heated seats with clever utility and versatility. Cutting-edge technology like the massive 14-inch touchscreen display with Toyota's new Multimedia system provides seamless connectivity. And thanks to the TNGA-F platform's advanced suspension design, this supremely capable off-roader delivers impressive on-road refinement as well.
Tailored for the Path Less Traveled
For those who live for epic overland adventures, Toyota offers the ultimate solution with the new Trailhunter grade. This meticulously engineered variant comes loaded with a full suite of factory-integrated accessories from respected off-road outfitters like ARB, Old Man Emu, and RIGID Industries.
From its lifted suspension with OME shocks and 33-inch Toyo all-terrain tires to its AIR intake and ARB roof rack system, the Trailhunter is a true turnkey overlanding machine purpose-built to thrive in even the most remote wilderness. Add in the pre-wired auxiliary switches, powerful inverter system, and distinctive exterior styling, and you have an SUV that blends incredible capability with go-anywhere confidence straight from the Toyota factory floor.
Conclusion
With its potent powertrains, supreme off-road engineering, premium accommodations and innovative trail-ready technologies, the all-new 2025 Toyota 4Runner is the ultimate manifestation of adventure-driven performance. This extraordinary SUV doesn't simply raise the bar in the off-road segment - it completely redefines what's possible in terms of capability, comfort and cutting-edge design. Get ready to explore the untamed wilderness in a whole new way when this highly anticipated icon arrives this Fall.
