This is the new 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter and it’s a master class in how to redesign a vehicle. The new 4Runner looks great, has some impressive off-roading capabilities, and drives surprisingly nice. Today I’m reviewing this new Toyota 4Runner and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it’s like to drive.

4Runner delivers serious performance with an available i-FORCE MAX 2.4L turbocharged hybrid EV powertrain. Providing up to 326 net combined horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, 4Runner moves quicker than ever, while its 8-speed automatic transmission and 6,000-lb. max towing capacity * help you go harder than before.
A hybrid model with 326 horsepower is also offered, but we review that model separately. Toyota has retained the customary roll-down rear window, and the new 4Runner’s exterior design remains square-jawed, handsome, and rugged. Filled with tech to enhance your drives, 4Runner will always keep you at the helm of adventure.

The SUV takes a big technological leap inside, especially on the top trims which get a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 14.0-inch infotainment display. Toyota offers 4Runner buyers the choice of rear-wheel drive (2WD), part-time four-wheel drive (4WD), or full-time 4WD, plus two engines/drivetrains. The I-Force Max hybrid powertrain is available on the upper trims, while the base engine is a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder.
