Price & release date
The redesigned 4Runner arrived for MY2025 with a starting MSRP of $40,770 (+ destination). The 2026 lineup is expected to carry forward at roughly the low-to-mid $40Ks base, scaling into the mid-$50Ks on higher trims and hybrid grades. The 4Runner is built in Tahara, Japan; U.S. availability began in late 2024/early 2025 and continues nationwide for 2026.
MPG & fuel economy
Efficiency improves versus the old V6. Gas models post up to 22 mpg combined (RWD) or 21 combined (4WD). The i-FORCE MAX hybrid can reach up to 23 mpg combined, depending on configuration. As always, tire selection and off-road gear influence real-world results.
Powertrains & towing
Standard is a 2.4-liter turbo four (278 hp, 317 lb-ft) with an 8-speed automatic. The available i-FORCE MAX hybrid pairs the turbo four with an electric motor for up to 326 hp and 465 lb-ft, standard 4WD on hybrid grades, and a max tow rating of 6,000 lb. The hybrid’s instant torque helps on steep grades and technical trails as well as when merging or towing.
Off-road hardware
All 4WD models benefit from Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and an available electronically locking rear differential. A new Stabilizer Bar Disconnect boosts front-axle articulation at the press of a button. TRD Pro gets TRD-tuned FOX QS3 dampers and 33-inch all-terrain tires; the overlanding-focused Trailhunter adds Old Man Emu 2.5-inch forged shocks with remote reservoirs, 33-inch Toyo A/Ts, high-mount air intake, rock rails, steel skid plates, an ARB roof rack, onboard air, and a 2400W inverter.
Interior & tech
The cabin modernizes with a standard 8-inch or available 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia display, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, plenty of USB-C ports, and available JBL audio. A power rear window remains a 4Runner signature. Seating configurations include two rows with an available third row on select grades. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (pre-collision, adaptive cruise, lane-keep, more) is standard across the range.
