2025 Toyota 4Runner: Trims, Features, and Hybrid Power

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner was the first model year of the fully redesigned sixth-generation 4Runner. It shares Toyota's TNGA-F platform with the Tacoma, uses a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in place of the previous V6, and offers an available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain for the first time.

From winding Appalachian backroads to weekend camping trips, drivers across Bristol, Kingsport, Johnson City, and Abingdon choose the 4Runner for its rugged styling, off-road capability, and proven Toyota durability. This guide covers the 2025 lineup, the most fully loaded trims, and how to shop for a 2025 4Runner at Toyota of Bristol today.

2025 Toyota 4Runner Engines and Drivetrains

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is available with two turbocharged powertrains:

• i-FORCE: a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder that produces 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, rated at up to 20/26/22 MPG city/highway/combined.
• i-FORCE MAX hybrid: a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder hybrid powertrain with a total system output of 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, rated at up to 23/24/23 MPG city/highway/combined.

Both powertrains pair with an eight-speed, electronically controlled automatic transmission with intelligence (ECT-i). Many i-FORCE grades are offered in rear-wheel drive with an automatic limited-slip differential (Auto LSD), while 4WD configurations add an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case with high and low range. Off-road-focused grades add Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) and an electronically controlled locking rear differential. Learn more about how Toyota all-wheel drive and 4WD systems differ.

Available drive modes include Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport S, Sport S+, and Custom, depending on grade. For a deeper look at the hybrid powertrain, see our 2025 Toyota 4Runner i-FORCE MAX page.

2025 Toyota 4Runner Trims

The 2025 4Runner lineup includes nine grades, from the well-equipped SR5 to the off-road-ready TRD Pro and Trailhunter. Toyota's starting MSRP at launch ranged from $40,770 for the SR5 to $66,900 for the TRD Pro and Trailhunter, excluding delivery, processing, and handling.

Which 2025 Toyota 4Runner Is the Most Fully Loaded?

The answer depends on how you define fully loaded. The Platinum is the most luxury-focused 2025 4Runner, while the TRD Pro and Trailhunter sit at the top of the lineup for off-road equipment and share the highest starting MSRP at launch. Both off-road flagships come standard with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain.

Other available off-road features across the 2025 lineup include:

• 18-inch bronze alloy wheels with 33-inch Toyo all-terrain tires
• Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM)
• Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) and Crawl Control (CRAWL)

Inside, tumble-fold rear seats create a versatile cargo area for camping gear and weekend equipment. Technology highlights include an available 14-inch multimedia touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, a wireless charging pad, and an available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 and Proactive Drive Assist

Every 2025 Toyota 4Runner comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, which includes:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)
• Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
• Automatic High Beams (AHB)
• Road Sign Assist (RSA)
• Proactive Drive Assist (PDA)

What Is Proactive Drive Assist on the 4Runner?

Proactive Drive Assist (PDA) uses the 4Runner's camera and radar to provide gentle braking and steering support in everyday driving situations, such as helping maintain distance from a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist ahead and easing speed into curves. It is designed to support the driver, not replace attentive driving. Our team can walk you through how PDA and the rest of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 work during a test drive.
