The 2025 Toyota 4Runner ushers in a new era with a base model starting at $42,220, a modest increase of $565 from the previous version. However, the standout models, the Trailhunter and TRD Pro, start at $68,350—surpassing even the prestigious Land Cruiser.

Introducing the New Generation

The latest 4Runner moves away from its rugged past by incorporating a hybrid powertrain along with modern features, all while maintaining its off-road legacy. These enhancements have led to significant price increases across most trims.

Pricing Breakdown

- 4Runner SR5: Starts at $42,220, reflecting a slight increase. It replaces the old V6 with a turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic. Four-wheel drive adds $2,000.
- TRD Sport & TRD Off-Road: Now priced at $48,700 and $50,640, respectively, these trims show increases of $4,185 and $5,140. The i-Force Max hybrid option boosts power to 326 hp but adds $2,800 to the cost.
- Limited Trim: Previously near the top tier, it now leads the non-hybrid segment at $56,850, or $61,650 with the hybrid powertrain.
- Platinum Trim: Making its debut, it emphasizes premium features and a smooth on-road experience. It starts at $64,310, equipped with a hybrid powertrain and four-wheel drive.

Top of the Line: Trailhunter and TRD Pro

These top-tier models start at $68,350 and represent the pinnacle of 4Runner pricing. The Trailhunter makes its debut for 2025, while the TRD Pro builds on its legacy, though with a notable $11,730 price hike.

Toyota plans to deliver these models to dealerships early next year, marking a significant milestone for the 4Runner family.

  

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner captivates with modern enhancements and powertrain options but comes with a hefty price tag. The introduction of the Trailhunter and a revamped TRD Pro redefine luxury in the 4Runner lineup, with prices that exceed those of the Land Cruiser.
