Toyota has finally released pricing for the actually brand new 2025 4Runner, and surprisingly, its starting price is just under $120 more than the old 4Runner’s. Don’t be fooled, though. Go for one of the new 4Runner’s new hybrid powertrains and/or new off-road trims, and you’re looking at a much pricier SUV
The all new 4Runner is a long time coming. The model has a huge following and has been on sale largely unchanged since the outgoing generation debuted in 2009 for the 2010 model year. More than ever before there really is a 4Runner for everyone, as the 2025 model is available in nine different trim levels: SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro and TrailHunter.
There are now two engine choices that replace the ancient and thirsty 4.0-liter V6 used by the old 4Runner. SR5 through TRD Sport Premium 4Runners are powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-4 that puts out 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque and can return an estimated 26 mpg on the highway, a massive improvement over the outgoing 4Runner’s truck-like 16 mpg city/19 mpg highway/17 mpg combined. Even more fuel savings can be found with the new hybrid i-Force Max powertrain, which is an electrified version of that same turbocharged engine and puts out 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Both engines get paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul modes as well as Normal, Eco and Sport drive modes. Available part-time four-wheel drive is a $2,000 option on SR5 through Limited trims)
The lineup starts with the 4Runner SR5, which opens at $42,220 (including the $1,450 destination charge, which is a bit more than last year). That gets you a seven-inch color display for the driver and an eight-inch infotainment screen, LED headlights and fog lights, power rear liftgate window and 12 cup holders. Moving up to the TRD Sport will set you back $48,700. That adds on a sport-tuned suspension, a gloss black hood scoop, 20-inch wheels, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, automatic climate control and a wireless phone charger.
If you want a bit of luxury with your TRD Sport, $55,060 will get you into the 4Runner TRD Sport Premium. In addition to all the standard features of the TRD Sport, you also get SofTex covered seats with power adjustments, an even larger 14-inch center display, hands-free power liftgate, a heated steering wheel, JBL sound system with a portable speaker, a TRD shift knob and a panoramic view monitor.
If you want to do a bit of off-roading, you can drop $50,640 on the 4Runner TRD Off-Road. That price is a more than $6,000 increase over last year’s TRD Off-Road model. While that old trim came with a part-time four-wheel-drive system, crawl control, locking rear diff and 17-inch wheels, the 2025 TRD Off-Road is the first trim that comes standard with four-wheel drive as well as Toyota’s Multi-Terrain Select system with crawl control. It’s also equipped similarly to the TRD Sport, adding underbody protection in the form of skid plates, 33-inch tires wrapped around 18-inch wheels, and Bilstein shocks. You can combine some of that off-road readiness with luxury items on the $55,420 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium, which is equipped identically to the TRD Sport Premium, just with all the Sport’s off-road goodies as standard.
For even more luxury you can go for the 4Runner Limited that starts at $58,850, more than $5,500 pricier than the outgoing 4Runner Limited. That increase gets you heated and cooled leather-trimmed front seats, power running boards, a power moonroof, a 14-inch touchscreen, JBL’s premium audio system and a digital rearview mirror.
If you want a hybrid 4Runner, you’re going to have drop at least $52,000 to get into one. The 4Runner hybrid trims start with the $53,440 TRD Off-Road, while $59,220 will get you into a TRD Off-Road Premium and the 4Runner Limited hybrid goes for $61,650. All these trims are equipped similarly to their non-hybrid counterparts; you’re just paying a premium for the hybrid engine. The most luxurious 4Runner money can buy is the new-for-2025 4Runner Platinum hybrid. For $64,310 it comes with unique black exterior trim that’s exclusive to the Platinum, premium leather seats, heated second-row seats, rain-sensing wipers, a head-up display and a tow package.
The most capable 4Runners money can buy sit at the top of the pricing tree. The 4Runner TrailHunter and TRD Pro i-Force MAX both start at $68,350. Toyota describes the TrailHunter, a new trim for the 4Runner, as the “ultimate overlanding rig” that’s adventure-ready right off the showroom floor. It comes with TrailHunter-specific Mineral-colored heated and cooled SofTex covered seats, unique styling cues and Old Man Emu 2.5 forged monotube shocks.
The 4Runner TRD Pro hybrid will be even more capable, especially compared to last year’s 4Runner and especially considering the 2025 TRD Pro is nearly $12,000 more than the outgoing TRD Pro. While the old TRD Pro’s claim to fame was mainly cool color selections, Fox Shocks, TRD-tuned front springs and a unique front grille, the new TRD Pro takes things a step further. It gets TRD-tuned FOX QS3 Internal Bypass shocks with 2.5-inch aluminum housings and rear remote reservoirs that have manual adjustments for the compression damping for differing terrains. Also included are special tactical camo seat inserts, heated and cooled SofTex covered seats with power adjustments, a heritage-inspired “TOYOTA” front grille with an integrated 20-inch LED light bar, RIGID Industries fog lights and a performance air intake and exhaust system for the hybrid engine to breathe more freely.
Depending on the trim, the Toyota 4Runner is the most expensive it’s ever been. This pricing might also be a hard sell for some, as this is the first time that pricing on some trims of the 4Runner overlap with Land Cruiser pricing. The Land Cruiser starts at $57,900 (including destination) for the 1958 trim; $63,900 gets you into the upper-level Land Cruiser trim. Might some buyers look across the lot and go for one or the other? Toyota seems to think so. The automaker has said before that there’s room for both vehicles in the lineup.
Toyota says the 2025 4Runner should go on sale early next year. If you’re interested, prepare yourself. This is one of the most anticipated vehicles. Markups will likely be out of control.
