[Music] you ask for it you got it from Toyota the allnew and I do mean allnew 2025 4Runner is finally here or at least it's coming I'm Tom vulk with all the details there are new power trins including a hybrid new models like Trail Hunter let's get to it let me stress that this is a preview not a review the automotive press has not
Driven the 2025 4Runner and yet we kind of have because underneath is the TNG GF architecture which is the same as Tacoma and the new Land Cruiser of course it is that's just smart on Toyota's part economies of scale this goes on sale in the fall of 2024 have to say it looks good Toyota's Michigan Cy Design Center was largely responsible for drawing it up designed alongside Tacoma there are styling cues from forerunners of the past but it's
Not a retro design the Legacy wrapover quarter glass from gen 1 and two looks great and of course the roll down rear window remains Toyota would be nuts to 86 that there will be a Platinum trim for the first time and a third row will be optional not sure if that's on all variants to get back there the second row seats are supposed to Tumble out of the way and like Tacoma there's going to be a trail Hunter model basically an off-the-shelf overlanding rig packed
With off-road equipment right off the showroom floor kitted out with ARB old man emu and rigid equipment that sounds expensive while the Tacoma is built in Mexico the sixth generation 4Runner will be assembled in Japan when it arrives Stateside in the fall Toyota sold more than 3 million copies in some 40 years the Big T says this new version raises the off-roading bar the box steel ladder frame gets a multi-link coil rear suspension and double Wishbone up front
Which should improve the onroad quality the standard engine is Toyota's I force 2.4 L turbocharger four-cylinder making 278 horsepower and 3177 PB feet of torque the gearbox is an 8-speed this setup is standard in SR5 TRD sport TRD off-road and limited optional is the iForce Max Hybrid with up to 326 horses and 465 lb feet it takes the 2.4 L turbo 4 and pairs it to a 48 horsepower electric motor that's built into the 8-speed transmission this is available
On TRD off-road and limited and standard with TRD Pro the trail hunter that you're looking at and platinum models the I force Max powertrain is good for towing up to 6,000 lb oddly enough 4Runner will be available as a two- wheel drive with an automatic limited slip differential there will also be part-time and full-time four-wheel drive systems Toyota says four-wheel drive models have an electronic controlled two-speed transfer case with active
Traction control and an automatic limited slip differential TRD off-road TRD Pro and Trail Hunter grades get a standard electronic locking rear differential there's an optional push button activated stabilizer bar disconnect mechanism depending on trim there's 32° of approach and 24° departure angles Max Plus a multi-terrain monitor your own personal camera spot 19 the plush limited gets a full-time four-wheel drive system with a
Center locking differential when ordered with the iForce Max it's the standard setup for platinum multi-terrain selects which is Drive modes to you and me Works in both four-wheel drive high and low the new crawl control is on the 2025 4Runner it's much improved it's sort of a lowspeed cruise control for the trail there's also Hill descent control it should come as no surprise that the interior looks very much the same as Tacoma that's just smart product
Planning base models will run with an 8in screen running Toyota's multimedia interface that requires a subscription fee for a full usability this can grow to a 14 iner leather is available in the Platinum model I'm assuming that the synthetic stuff is on other trims at least that's the way it is in the Tacoma Wireless Android auto and apple carplay too a 7-in gauge cluster is standard on lower grades that improves to a 12.3 in digital cluster which is standard on
Higher trims which brings me to pricing which nobody knows right now and that's the million dooll question because 4Runner biggest competitor just might be in Toyota showrooms yeah the new Land Cruiser which is lower priced than it was before so price 4Runner too high everybody's going to move to Land Cruiser price it too low when Toyota makes no profit but that's never been a problem for Toyota right uh remember this is going on sale in the fall of
2024 hope you got something out of my preview of the 2025 Toyota 4Runner and yeah I am well aware that this is just a bunch of Manufacturers footage but there's a lot of interest in this truck I wanted you to see it as soon as possible and as far as the driving Dynamics go well it is heavily based on the Tacoma so pretty sure we know what those are going to be like thanks for watching Remember subscribe to this channel click
