In the latest episode of The Fast Lane Car, the team dives into the highly anticipated 2025 Toyota 4Runner. And let me tell you, folks, they've got some juicy insider information that will make your engines rev with excitement. You see, they received a note from a trusted source within Toyota, confirming that their predictions about the 4Runner were spot-on. It's like they have a crystal ball or something!
According to this insider, the powertrain options for the new 4Runner will be identical to those found in the Tacoma. That means a 2.4L turbo gas engine and a 2.4L turbo hybrid engine will be under the hood of this beast. No diesel or economy hybrid options, mind you. But let's not forget the most thrilling part: the possibility of a manual transmission! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard that right. A manual transmission in a modern SUV. It's like a dream come true for off-road enthusiasts.
Now, the team speculates that the 4Runner will essentially be a Tacoma with more cargo space and a closed cap instead of a bed. Picture it, folks: a rugged, powerful truck with the practicality of an SUV. It's the best of both worlds. And with that iconic Toyota front end and squared-up fender flares, this bad boy is going to turn heads wherever it goes.
But here's the million-dollar question: how will the 4Runner fit into Toyota's lineup alongside the Land Cruiser and the Lexus GX? It's a tricky one, my friends. The Land Cruiser is getting a more affordable version, while the GX is set to compete with the 4Runner. Toyota needs to find a way to differentiate these models and avoid cannibalizing their own sales. Perhaps the 4Runner will lean more heavily into its off-road capabilities, with rock sliders and exposed recovery points. Only time will tell.
So, my fellow car enthusiasts, are you excited or disappointed about the 4Runner's four-cylinder turbo engine? And if you had to choose between the Land Cruiser and the 4Runner, which would it be? Let us know in the comments, and until next time, keep those engines roaring!
