Everyone’s buzzing about Toyota’s new 4Runner. This sixth-generation model mixes modern stuff with the old-school style fans love. It’s got some big upgrades that we think are just right for today’s world.
One big change in the 2025 4Runner is its size. It’s actually grown by about 5 inches compared to the old one. This wasn’t to fit in with the new Land Cruiser, but more to make the 4Runner better overall.
Its size matches up with the Land Cruiser and the existing Highlander, but without all the fancy extras. Some folks worried about the 4Runner’s future when the Land Cruiser came back first, but Toyota surprised us with a new 4Runner that’s more modern and efficient, while still keeping its size in line with the Land Cruiser.
When it comes to how it performs, both the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser can tow up to 6,000 lbs. Inside, they’ve both got nice materials and smart designs.
To stay competitive, the new 4Runner has to be priced right, around $40,000. Toyota also has to deal with the grand Highlander, which offers more space and options, potentially affecting 4Runner sales.
People are talking about the 4Runner’s looks, too. Some say Toyota didn’t do enough to make it look different from the old one.
But others think changing it too much would upset longtime fans. The new 4Runner does a good job of blending old and new.
It’s got some cool throwbacks, like curved rear windows and a sliding back window. Plus, there are lots of different styles to choose from.
In short, the new Toyota 4Runner is a fresh take on a classic ride. Its bigger size, performance, and design make it a strong competitor in the SUV world.
