2025 Toyota 4Runner Will Get Tacoma's Hybrid, Manual, TRD Pro Goodies: Report

On the eve of the Toyota Land Cruiser's return, it seems we have confirmation that it won't replace the more affordable 4Runner. Like its twin the Tacoma, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner will carry forth with a turbo four-cylinder and keep its top TRD Pro off-road trim despite the Land Cruiser's return.

This report comes via 4Runner6G.com, which attributed "a long-time credible insider source" for all the information here. They reportedly indicate the next 4Runner has been testing in the U.S. since at least March 2021, and that it'll enter production in July 2024 as a 2025 model. As before, it'll basically be a Tacoma SUV, with all of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma's changes reflected accordingly.

This reportedly means switching to Toyota's TNGA-F platform and borrowing its styling, while making the C-pillar steeper for easier ingress. It'll use the same 2.4-liter turbo four-cylinder with identical power outputs: 228 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque on base models. 278 hp and 317 lb-ft for mid-range trims.
