The 2025 Toyota 4Runner Is A Modern Interpretation Of An Iconic Japanese Off-Road SUV
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
After an agonizingly long 15 years on the market, the redesigned #Toyota4Runner is FINALLY here and it borrows a lot of tech and capability from the redesigned Tacoma. Offered in up to 9 trim levels, including a new #4RunnerTrailhunter and #4RunnerPlatinum, this 6th generation #4Runner dumps its old V6 for a 2.4L turbo and 2.4L Turbo Hybrid powertrain. Built on a new body-on-frame construction with a massive improvement in tech, this new model will go on sale this spring.

I love it! People will hate on it at first because many don’t like change, but I think it’s a great upgrade!! And it still looks like a 4Runner! 😍

I loved the Corolla hatchback, tundra, Land Cruiser, sequoia, BRZ, LC500, is350, and GX (and G5 4Runner)when they first came out… yet don’t like this at all.

Did you just say it still looks like a 4Runner😂😂😂WHERE??? a lot of folks don’t like change because it’s fine the way it is, meanwhile prices are higher then ever before, make it make sense youngin. Do you know how much it cost if electrical issues happen which they always do on newer models

I think when I return to Canada - I'll be getting a Toyota. Maybe Subaru as the next generation will be using Toyota Hybrid systems and they have fixed up their Boxer engine - no more head gasket problems and Toyota owns part of Subaru. I got back from Manila and I was in three taxis - one had 1.3 million kilometres, another 850,000 and another around 800,000. All original engines and transmissions in stop-and-go gridlock traffic in 35-degree Celsius heat and typhoons. The bodies were wrecks - and they replace shocks and bushings etc but they run and run and run. I wouldn't trust any of the Americans (having owned them they;re piles) and forget the Germans - when a part brakes (and they brake 3 times more often than Toyota) they will also cost 5 times the price for the part and labour (if you can get a part). So it's mostly going to be between 4Runner, Land Cruiser and Subaru Outback which is the "budget option." All the taxis in Manila are Toyota VIOS - all the Taxis here in Hong Kong are Toyota Comforts, and all the Taxis in Macau are Toyota Camry. Taxi companies aren't stupid - they're not buying fleets of Hyundai and Kia where all their 4-cyl engines catch fire. Those heaps wouldn't last 3 years in Manila as a taxi. Sounds like your SR5 hasn't even broken in yet!!

@@austenrichardgeorge842 that’s cool! By the end of the year I’m planning to purchase a LC 200 (19-21) if I can locate one in great condition with reasonable miles and under $70k. Otherwise I’ll wait another year and purchase either the new GX or LC 250 once the kinks are worked out and more options are available. I will keep the 4Runner for everyday driving and home depot runs.

It’s amazing that Toyota designed an all new 4Runner! I still think, personally, the current 5th generation is still my favourite, I think Toyota redesigning such a legendary name in the lineup is a great thing to see. You can still tell it’s a 4Runner, but I miss that 4.0L V6. That was one of the things that made 4Runners so cool, is that deep growl of the V6, the way it vibrates the chassis, and its lack of refinement.

They should have just done a Capstone model instead of a limited model. I'm very pleased at the updates. But the only thing that is missing is a panoramic sunroof. I just hope the platinum trim doesn't run 60K. I might as well get a GX with that $.
Great looks ❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!!
Hot review! ❤
It'll be interesting to see how much the 4cyl turbo affects the longevity of the vehicle. Overall it looks nice.
Love the limited edition nice look and interior. And it still be good for lite off-road and snowy weather. And it Toyota tough and reliable. 😂😅
Outstanding presentation
Am I the only that sees Isuzu VehiCROSS in the rear? Overall I can appreciate what it is and I think it will do a great job carrying on the name. Personally I am more interested in the potential small off roader (some people are calling it the return of the FJ Cruiser) that is supposed to be about the size of the Corolla Cross. Hopefully it comes to the US market.

The only reason I won’t consider the new 4Runner is no 4.0 V6 engine. The small 4 cylinder turbo engine will never 👎 be a reliable engine.😢
Nobody does the reviews as good as Sofyan. The new 4Runner looks nice but I wish it was a little more distinguished from the Tacoma. Not sold on the 4 cylinder either. I’m glad that I went ahead and got the 5th gen TRD Pro.

Great job Sofyan! Lots of information to cover and you handled it well. I also think this new 4Runner and the new Land Cruiser are too similar which will result in one eating into the sales of the other. What does everyone else think about this? A great upgrade of both vehicles though despite the Land Cruiser moving down market versus the earlier generation.

I would group the 4Runner, LC/Prado, and GX as the same vehicle. They are on the same platform, share tech (models vary), share powerplants and running gear, even made at the same factory. So I don't think Toyota cares as long as they sell something with TOYOTA on the front. Having said that, I think that there's enough of a following for each of those nameplates to have healthy individual sales for a while.
