In addition to sharing styling cues with the recently redesigned Toyota Tacoma truck, the 2025 4Runner will debut new high-end "Platinum" and "Trailhunter" trim levels and a hybrid engine.
"The new 4Runner is a highly adaptable and capable vehicle that perfectly completes our truck lineup," stated in a statement Dave Christ, general manager and vice president of the Toyota group. Over the past 40 years, we have sold over 3 million 4Runners, and this sixth-generation model keeps the tough style and capability that our customers adore about this iconic adventure vehicle while now sporting a stylish new look and amazing amenities.
Toyota's "truck family," which consists of the Tacoma and Tundra pickup trucks and the 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia SUVs, is often referred to as the "five brothers."
