Today, on The Fast Lane Car, we delve into the long-awaited 2025 Toyota 4Runner, a beast that has finally graced us after 15 years of anticipation. Starting with the humble SR5 model, we work our way up the ladder, exploring the lineup's various trims, from the street-focused TRD Sport to the off-road prowess of the TRD Off-Road. Toyota surprises us with the inclusion of a third row seat in the SR5 trim, catering to a diverse range of buyers who may not necessarily venture off the beaten path.
The base price of the 6th generation 4Runner sits just under $41,000, making it an enticing option for those looking to step into the world of rugged SUVs. Moving on to the TRD Sport, we witness a blend of TRD elements with a touch of street performance, complete with body-colored fender flares and eye-catching 20-inch wheels. As we transition to the TRD Off-Road model, equipped with a hybrid powertrain delivering 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, we are met with a vehicle that not only offers power but also improved fuel efficiency, particularly in city driving conditions.
The Limited edition 4Runner takes luxury to new heights, boasting a full-time four-wheel drive system and a price tag of around $62,000, while the Platinum trim elevates the experience further with blacked-out trims and premium features. For enthusiasts seeking a full-time four-wheel drive setup, the Limited and Platinum variants stand out as the top contenders in the 4Runner lineup. With each trim offering a unique blend of style, performance, and functionality, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner proves to be a versatile and compelling choice in the competitive SUV market.
