2025 Toyota 4Runner Keeps Drop-Down Back Glass, Hybrid Power Teased

Another day, another 2025 Toyota 4Runner teaser. It's a solid way to start a Thursday, I admit, especially since this new photo confirms the next-gen adventure rig will retain the drop-down rear window. That's a feature we've all come to love, so it makes sense for Toyota to keep it around (not that the car company has ever been one to depart from tradition). Even still, there's more to glean from this seemingly simple photo so let's get into it.

The 4Runner might not be a removable-top wheeler like it used to be, but we off-road dorks will take what we can get. A roll-down back window gives alludes to an open-air experience without blowing everybody's hair around and exposing them to 60-mph sticks and stones. Like in recent years, it also has power up-down functionality thanks to a pair of buttons on the tailgate. Pretty nifty stuff.

Peer past where the back glass would be and you'll find a big infotainment screen. It looks like the 14-inch display that's already used in the Tundra, Sequoia, and so on. Having reviewed several trucks with that screen, I quite like it, even if it is enormous. The resolution is clear and the UX is intuitive enough for trouble-free daily use.
