If you’re looking for a truck that’s rugged enough to tackle any terrain but still modern enough to include all the latest tech gadgets and features, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro should be on your list to test-drive. Built on the new TNGA-F platform, this year’s model gets several upgrades, including new engine options and advanced off-road capabilities. Find out whether the new TRD Pro is built tough enough for your next adventure by reading our 2025 4Runner review below.
What’s New for the 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro?
There’s a good reason Toyota fans have been on the edge of their seats awaiting the 2025 Toyota 4Runner’s release date. Built on Toyota’s TNGA-F platform — also found on the Tacoma and Land Cruiser — the new TRD Pro marks the biggest transformation in over 16 years.
With a new turbocharged 2.4-liter engine and an available hybrid powertrain, the 2025 4Runner TRD Pro makes strides in fuel efficiency, coming in at 23 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, compared to the previous model’s 16 mpg city and 19 mpg highway. An upgraded eight-speed automatic transmission replaces the outdated five-speed gearbox for a smoother ride. Overall, expect more versatile options, better tech, and more capable off-road features this year.
Engine and Performance
Both 2025 4Runner engine options pack a punch, especially when equipped with the TRD Pro’s trail-ready features. The sixth-generation 4Runner comes standard with a 2.4-liter turbocharged I-4 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission for 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. The available hybrid powertrain features the i-Force Max Turbo Hybrid system, which increases low-end torque and makes it more suitable for off-road climbing and towing. The hybrid engine achieves 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.
With a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds, the new TRD Pro surpasses the previous generation, which maxed out at 5,000 pounds. Of course, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner’s off-road features are where the real excitement lies. Fox Racing QS3 shocks absorb bumps and terrain changes for superior suspension, while disconnected stabilizer bars improve wheel articulation. The locking rear differential works with the Multi-Terrain Select system to provide the right amount of traction across various terrains, including sand, mud, and snow. And with a reinforced chassis, you’ll feel in control even on the roughest roads.
Off-Road Features
Wherever your next adventure takes you, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro will get you there safely. Built for extreme off-road conditions, the new TRD Pro comes equipped with Crawl Control to provide steady, controlled movements when traveling over sand, rocks, and mud without the need for driver input. This system also manages throttle and braking at low speeds so you don’t have to. Heavy-duty skid plates protect the engine, fuel tank, and transmission, while Toyota’s high-strength frame protects you and your loved ones in the event of an accident.
The 33-inch Toyo Open Country III tires provide superior traction on loose gravel and in slippery weather conditions. Toyota also increased the ground clearance on the TRD Pro this year, giving it an edge over its predecessor when it comes to approach and departure angles used to tackle steep inclines. The new TRD Pro also comes with an advanced trail camera. This system offers 360-degree views to make navigating rocky terrain and tight trails a breeze.
Exterior and Interior Design
But what will the 2025 Toyota 4Runner look like? The 2025 model is built on a boxy, muscular frame that means business. Black fender flares, TRD badging, and a functional hood scoop come together for a bold new look that’s impossible to ignore. Back by popular demand, the 2025 TRD Pro also features the signature roll-down rear window that Toyota drivers love.
Inside the cabin, you’ll find an upgraded dashboard that feels reminiscent of the Tacoma, with a high-tech, driver-focused cockpit. With ample storage compartments, under-the-seat storage, and durable materials designed to withstand a bit of wear and tear, the TRD Pro doubles as an excellent vehicle for your next family getaway. Plus, optional third-row seating means there’s room for everyone to tag along and enjoy the adventure.
Technology and Safety
No matter how far off-road you wander, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro keeps you safe and connected with the latest tech features. An 8-inch infotainment touch screen comes standard, with an optional 14-inch display available. Customize the display on your 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster to showcase real-time driving data or opt for the available head-up display to project the most important information directly onto your windshield. The TRD Pro also comes with a wireless charging pad and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
As far as safety goes, Toyota didn’t hold anything back. Equipped with the full Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite, the 2025 4Runner TRD Pro features:
- Automatic emergency braking
- Pedestrian detection
- Lane departure warning
- Adaptive cruise control
It also comes with a driver monitoring system that detects inattentiveness and alerts you when it’s time to take a break, which can come in handy if you’re traveling across unpredictable terrains for long stretches.
