2025 Toyota 4Runner (finally!) revealed, and the new Trailhunter is extremely cool

SAN DIEGO – The last time a new Toyota 4Runner debuted, Barack Obama was in the first year of his presidency. “The Hangover,” “Avatar” and sixth Harry Potter movie were big at the box office; Taylor Swift was still considered a country artist. Kids born that year can now get their learners’ permit. So yeah, to say the 4Runner was due for a replacement is putting it mildly.

Drivetrain options include rear-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel-drive. The difference between those last two is you have to shift into 4 High with part-time, whereas an automatic mode can engage the front axle as needed in full-time, not unlike an all-wheel-drive system. This version is only available on the luxury-oriented Limited and Platinum . The TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro and Trailhunter get electronic locking differentials.

Like the Tacoma version that debuted the name and concept, the 4Runner Trailhunter goes beyond the TRD Pro with hardware and capability specifically intended to look awesome for overlanding. Among the upgrades are Old Man Emu 2.5-inch forged shocks with external piggyback remote reservoirs at the rear; 33-inch Toyo Open Country all-terrain tires that boost the ride height by 2 inches at the front and 1.

We also don’t know what each of them look like. We basically only have photos of the most extreme examples: TRD Pro, Trailhunter and Limited. It’s easy to assume the Platinum will take after the Limited, as will the TRD Sport, that was previously similar to the Limited mechanically and in appearance, but similar to the SR5 in terms of equipment. The SR5 and TRD Off-Road, meanwhile, looked similar before but we have pictures of neither here.
