2025 6th gen 4Runner Official Reveal Thread

I can't wait to see one in person. I'm curious to see what the actual build quality is like. Will it be as solid as my 5th gen? I do like the rookrack and snorkle.


Did they release what the trd offroad will look like or just the limited, trdpro and trailhunter?

 

What does this even mean?

If you're suggesting that we should nuke Japan again, I'd highly recommend you start thinking about what you say.

I just checked inventory on the biggest dealership in S/E Wisconsin, and they have 7 on the lot, 1 of which has a sale pending.

Here's a link:

At least I'm willing to verify what I say.

 

Haha! Looks like you beat me to the punch.

 

I see the higher trims get power tilt and telescoping steering wheel:

 

I will reserve final judgement until I see one in person and drive one but my impressions thus far are not great:

Looks like a Colorado buttfucked a Durango.

And no manual.

Weirdly, my wife, who also digs 4Rs and has owned 2 5th gens, really liked it and actually came home from work last night excited and said: "did you see the new 4R, it looks sweet!".

 

I’m surprised the length and width are almost the same. I figured the LandCruiser would be a little bit bigger.

 

These things aren't cheap. Pass them and get the new GX. The new GX is a good truck

 

Nine trim levels. Good grief.

Nine grades are available including SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off Road, TRD Off Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter.

No one ever asks the tough questions in these revels, the YouTube influencers who get invited by Toyota to go out and review them is getting old. They are all in a love fest and won't ask Toyota or the engineer tough questions. I can see it has a big iPad screen I don't need more info on that... What have they done to aid in rust prevention, has the needle bearing been fixed... Stuff like this no one ever asks.

As others have stated I to see many tundras and Sequoias sitting on the lots here. I have yet to see a new Tacoma. I think the tgna ordeal is making the product weaker because sacrifices have to be made to scale them on all the same platform. Like the tundra for example it's an SUV with a bed, it just can't compete with the other trucks on the market for doing actual truck work.

 

Toyota applies cavity wax in the frame rails like the newer 5th gens. For 6th gen (if it's like the Taco), Toyota added a series of drain holes along the bottom of the frame rail. Some of the bolt-on rock sliders on the market for the Taco utilize some of those drain holes.

 

00:58 in the video shows the consequence of being on the same "platform" as the Tundra/Sequoia. Toyota kept the cabin the same width as the previous generation to preserve door opening space in the garage, but the tires stick out pretty far despite the massively inset +50mm wheels. This is the Limited trim without the wider Pro/Trailhunter flares:

 

That's kinda cool I guess. Not like doing it manually is that much of a pain.

I sure hope it has pedal adjust and more down travel in the seat adjust. The interior looks awesome.

 

Someone else mentioned this, but I guess we finally have the answer to how the 4Runner and Land Cruiser fit in the lineup.

if you like old school box truck design (me!), go Land Cruiser.

if you like a more modern design, go 4Runner.

Makes sense. Plus the 4Runner fills in the gap in mid $40k range.

Now that we know the styling, rear window and origin, we can start speculating on price.

I’m guessing the TRD Pro and Trailhunter will both be around $60k, maybe hit $65k with options. TRD Off-Road starts at $48k and goes up to ~$60k with options (based on Tacoma option pricing).

A TRD OffRoad in the mid-$50k range means I’d probably choose the Land Cruiser. Which is probably what Toyota expected.

I hate the surge in inflation on vehicle pricing since 2019. Prices always go up, but it seems like we’ve seen a 15-20% jump instead of a 7-10% increase that we’d expect.

 

Jesus,… thing looks lame imho.
Guess I’ll just hold on to my 18 forever.




And ever.

 

Can use the Land Cruiser for reference. Land Cruiser is 290 lb heavier than 5th gen 4R and 550 lb heavier than 4th gen Taco:

2024 4R vs. 2024 Land Cruiser vs. 2024 Tacoma DCSB:

 

Ha! That is the same thing my wife said!

 

Right. That pretty much confirms what I said.

I was replying to a post that said that the 4Runner was lighter than the Tacoma, which has never been the case.

 

Curious what the Platinum trim will look like and when it will be shown.

 

same for me. if it follows the trim layout like the capstone or the limited on the tacoma, i hope it doesnt add more chrome compared to the limited 4runner.

on our tundra platinum it has no chrome, but if you step up to the capstone, they add a crap ton of chrome (4R limited = tundra platinum / 4R platinum = tundra capstone)

 

Saw Doug comment on r/cars’ 4Runner thread and reposting here, I think some may get a kick out of it.

 

The "Mudbath" colorway is insane!

 

Am not exactly thrilled with this coverup designs.

It’s the same 5th Gen now with Hybrid Engine and lipstick makeup.

Basically, Toyota wants to keep 4Runner identity with raptor lights and Morimoto style taillights


Just my 2c.

 

Sadly the EPA has castrated Toyota as it has other manufacturers as well -and now that the EPA has won, they will clamp down even more until you are all driving over priced electric golf carts. You can spin it as you like, but you are paying more and more for less and less truck and more and more complications and maintenance issues. The cost to purchase with tax and insurance and interest rates and full ownership is absurd. I for one shall never let the epitaph of the 5th gen be carved in alabaster and laid to rest - ha ha a little poetic ending to my rant...

 

Sorry, those are some ugly a55 wheels!

 

I just got a 24 pro and this thing is gorgeous. I will be trading mine in for a second year pro - 2026.

 

If it's like the Taco, around 2018? You can remove one of the larger hole plugs and look/feel with your finger. I noticed this when installing sliders on my Taco.

There are several aftermarket wheels available for the Tundra and Tacoma that should bolt right in. Minimal work needed to fit 35s on this generation:

I don't think you learn to like it rather then you don't have a choice going forward if you want or need something new.

There are some positives to the redesign but it isn't all good and you can't deny that aspect either.
