In the latest installment from Throttle House, Thomas and James dive into the world of the 2025 Toyota 4Runner, adding a touch of drama and stakes to their car review. As Thomas contemplates replacing his M2 with a more family-friendly and utilitarian vehicle, the 4Runner emerges as a strong contender alongside the new Land Cruiser. The 4Runner's sixth generation impresses with enhanced power, torque, towing capacity, and a revamped interior, offering a tempting package across different trims. Despite facing criticism for its powertrain, the 4Runner delivers adequate performance for daily driving, with the non-hybrid variant even providing a third row of seats for added utility.
In the quest to choose between the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser, Thomas navigates the unique features of the Trail Hunter trim, including a portable speaker and off-road capabilities that set it apart from its counterpart. While Thomas appreciates the Land Cruiser's exterior design over the 4Runner's Tacoma-inspired front, the latter's modern and sporty interior with ample storage options and a communal driving focus presents a compelling case. The decision between the two models remains a tough nut to crack for Thomas, who weighs factors like reliability, pricing, and personal preference in his deliberation.
As the review unfolds, Throttle House's signature banter and insightful commentary bring a refreshing take on the age-old dilemma of choosing between two rugged SUVs. With Thomas teasing a future reveal of his purchase location, the audience is left on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the final verdict in this high-stakes showdown between the Toyota 4Runner and the Land Cruiser.
