- The redesigned 2025 Toyota 4Runner starts at $40,770 and arrives at dealerships early next year.
- The range-topping Trailhunter and TRD Pro trims are priced at $66,900 before destination.
- Two powertrains are available, with the hybrid option delivering up to 326 horsepower.
The 2025 Toyota 4Runner has a lot in common with the latest Land Cruiser, but thankfully it’s far more affordable. That’s clear today as the company has announced pricing will begin at $40,770 before a $1,450 destination fee.
Despite being completely redesigned and far more high-tech, its starting pricing only climbs $65. That’s worth celebrating and it means the 4Runner is $15,680 cheaper than the Land Cruiser.

Kicking things off is the entry-level 4Runner SR5, which features LED headlights and 17-inch wheels with a dark gray finish. Buyers will also find a liftgate with a rear power window.
The interior is a bit basic, but there’s a 7-inch multi-information display as well as an 8-inch infotainment system. They’re joined by a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an eight-speaker audio system, and a keyless entry system with a push-button ignition.
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of driver assistance systems comes standard and includes Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, and a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. They’re joined by Automatic High Beams, Road Sign Assist, and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist. Rounding out the highlights are Traffic Jam Assist, Front Cross-Traffic Alert, and a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 278 hp (207 kW / 282 PS) and 317 lb-ft (429 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels. However, four-wheel drive is available as a $2,000 option.
In terms of fuel efficiency, the rear-wheel drive variant returns 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. Those numbers all drop 1 mpg with four-wheel drive.
Moving up the trim ladder is the TRD Sport, which begins at $47,250. That’s a sizable jump as its predecessor began at $43,565.
Price hike aside, the TRD Sport adds body-color door handles, a gloss black hood scoop, and power heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals. They’re joined by a sport-tuned suspension and larger 20-inch wheels with TRD center caps.
The upgrades continue inside as there’s a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, heated front seats, and automatic climate control. Buyers will also find a wireless smartphone charger, a leather-wrapped shifter, and an AC power outlet in the cargo area.
The $52,610 4Runner TRD Sport Premium goes a step further as it has a power liftgate and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink. The extra cash also nets customers heated and ventilated SofTex front seats with eight-way power adjustment. This is on top of a heated leather steering wheel, a 14-inch infotainment system, a Panoramic View Monitor, and a JBL premium audio system with a removable speaker.
The 4WD-only 4Runner TRD Off-Road slots in between the Sport variants and starts at $49,190. While most of the equipment carries over, it has skid plates and 18-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch all-terrain tires. Buyers will also find an off-road focused suspension with Bilstein shocks as well as a Multi-Terrain Select system with Crawl control. An Off-Road Premium variant is also available for $54,970.
That brings us to the $55,400 4Runner Limited, which has fancier LED headlights, a moonroof, and chrome roof rails. Other niceties include 20-inch wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated/ventilated leather front seats. The model also shares some equipment with the aforementioned Premium variants including a 14-inch infotainment system and the JBL audio system.
The 4Runner Platinum begins at a Lexus-like $62,860 and features black accents, rain-sensing wipers, and 20-inch wheels with a gloss black finish. Inside, there’s a head-up display, a digital rearview mirror, heated second-row seats, and digital key technology.
Motivation is provided by an i-Force Max Hybrid powertrain, which consists of a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, a 1.87 kWh nickel-metal hydride battery, and an electric motor that is integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission. This setup gives the SUV a combined output of 326 hp (243 kW / 331 PS) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque.
Four-wheel drive comes standard, but don’t expect hybrid levels of efficiency. Instead, the model gets a modest fuel economy rating of 23 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined.
Sitting at the top of the range is the Trailhunter and TRD Pro. Both start at $66,900 and target two different groups of buyers.
The Trailhunter aims to appeal to the overlanding crowd and it wears a TOYOTA-branded grille with an integrated light bar. The SUV has also been outfitted with an ARB roof rack, color adjustable Rigid lights, and 18-inch wheels with a bronze finish as well as 33-inch Toyo tires. Other highlights include an on-board air compressor, a raised air intake, and Old Man Emu shocks.
The 4Runner TRD Pro is similar, but features a different suspension setup that has FOX QS3 Internal Bypass shocks with 2.5-inch aluminum housings and rear remote reservoirs. Buyers will also find camo SofTex seats and a TRD exhaust. Rounding out the highlights are a unique aluminum front skid plate and 18-inch wheels with a matte black finish as well as 33-inch tires.
The 2025 Toyota 4Runner will begin arriving at U.S. dealerships in January and we wouldn’t be surprised to see hefty markups at launch.
