Is it worth the wait? The 2025 4Runner is here and we got a first look at the all-new redesigned 6th Gen!
The 6th Gen 4Runner has been anticipated for a long time and yes, we think it was very much worth the wait.
Boasting 465 ft. lbs. of torque, 326 horsepower, and a towing capacity of 6,000lbs, with the I-Force Max engine, the new drivetrain is taking power and overall drivability to the next level. An 8-speed transmission, rear locking differential, crawl control, 4x4, and DAC, make this an extremely capable machine.
Join Kurt Williams, Rachelle Croft, and Ryan Connelly as we get explore this fully resigned platform and talk about what we are most excited about. What are your thoughts? #xoverland #4runner #toyota

Great detailed info about the 6th Gen 4Runner that most other YT Influencers haven't mentioned. You all might have convinced me to buy the new 4Runner instead of the new LC 250. Thank you for producing this video!

@SMoore-vj7bt 2 месяца назад

Why is nobody mentioning the obvious which is the Land Cruiser is retro, the new 4Runner is not at all retro styled. Land Cruiser is is to compete with those who would buy a 4-door Wrangler or Bronco for the retro styling but want Toyota quality and brand image. Whereas, 4Runner is a more youthful spirit targeted vehicle.

@speedwolf5212 2 месяца назад

Looks awesome. I like that it’s sharing a platform with the new LC as well, that’s a good sign that Toyota is confident in it. Gonna be lots of cool interchangeable aftermarket parts coming.

@joshuagray5094 2 месяца назад

I whole heartedly agree. Finally a review that was honest yet not a fan boy take. Plus I’m tired of hearing the complaints of the new 4 cylinder and the reluctance to change. Toyota had no choice but to do this due to emission requirements, and they def did their best to pay homage to previous gen’s which I appreciate

@jbjlock26 2 месяца назад

Kurt, Ryan, and Rachelle have probably forgotten more about Toyotas than most people ever know... Rachelle has taken the new Tacoma Trailhunter through some serious dunes and has the background of an accomplished off road racer. The comments about the difference between the Fox and Old Man Emu suspension are probably beyond many influencers. XO has experience with the i-Force Max hybrid in a Sequoia over probably 6,000 km off road in Africa, mostly towing a fuel trailer! Anyone that doesn't trust Toyota's hybrid reliability in these trucks isn't paying attention!

I'm wondering if ARB is going to offer rear and front bumpers with the red recovery points like the Taco. Center console cool box availability and I do wish they would've figured out a way to have a completely flat rear area with the second row seats folded flat. It's still not perfectly flat like on my '06 Pathfinder. Also, I've yet to see anybody mention that hook that's below the grab handle on the passenger side that looks perfect for takeout bags to hang from. Also interested in color options. I do hope that desert tan color on the Pro will be available on the Trailhunter. It a perfect color for getting dirty.

@kevins7360 Месяц назад

nice review. luv the exterior and interior front. cargo area is a bit sad. cool on the built in air, but very sad it faces inward. how are you supposed to use it with drawers/fridge or any other cargo? would have loved mounts with accessory options instead of molded in cup holders for a missing 3rd row. get the raised bed, but unfortunate loss of height. still buying a standard engine offroad model after 3-4 year update that fixes some of the naggy stuff. really like 33's with no cutting!

@owizzlebeezy123 2 месяца назад

Do you think the 9.5" diff is just bc its hybrid max? Maybe that was the only version they showed the hybrid in, rather than being trailhunter-specific. Reason I ask is b/c 465 ftlbs of torque is 64 more than even the 5.7L Sequoia had. So thinking that might be why the big diff...

Do we know how the 2400w inventor will work with the new 4Runner? I seen how it would work with the Tacoma. But a common scenario I could see would be pulling an off road camper that has solar/battery and needing additional power due to whatever reason to recharge the onboard power on camper. Would this be something the runner could supplement?

@GRSRiverrider 2 месяца назад

Can it accept a full roof rack? Or is there an option for one from the factory? When I have a canoe on my 5th gen it sits really far back as the center of the canoe is behind the center of the roof. Also, how are these four cylinders performing in high torque situations seeing that it's one power stroke per 180 degrees of rotation? I'd have to know the truth of that before considering a 4 cylinder. HP and torque numbers are nice, but am I reving the engine to 5000 rpm for the equal power output that a v6 could do at 3700rpm or a v8 could do at 2500rpm? Serious question here.

@dustinbono 2 месяца назад

Peak power and torque on these turbo vehicles are made at low rpms like 2500 rpm. Plus the hybrid options have instant torque. Just bc it's a 4 cylinder doesn't mean it's gotta be high in rpms to make power. Especially the hybrids.

@dustinbono 2 месяца назад

@ourkaravan 2 месяца назад

I am not a fan of the 4.0--poor economy and performance. By comparison a supercharged 3.4 from the 3rd gen 4Runner made more power and torque and still get 19-20 MPG. Toyota hybrids are the best in the business and I feel confident it will be reliable. This is the first powertrain Toyota has produced since the SC'd 3.4 that gets me excited to own a newer Toyota.

@BelchevKalin 2 месяца назад

Yes and I don't get that "Ohh it's a 4 banger with turbo it will not be reliable!". Toyota makes turbo engines for decades. They know how to do it and this engine is not new, it already has been tested in other vehicles. I want to see those guys and gals when this engine gets to 500k miles without any problems. And as you've said Toyota hybrids are the best in the business. Also there are first gen hybrid batteries that are at 70% after, what, 20+ years now? And that technology came a long way now

@TangoOscarMikeN3WS 2 месяца назад

Notice all the fake cheesy marketing comments. It's such a joke. Notice all the cargo space lost to the batteries, of course you are going to need that roof rack to carry all the stuff that won't fit in the back. The big hump in the cargo area looks like putting them back there was an after thought. I'd rather have the 6 than a turbo. The dealer cold called me trying to buy my 3 Gen Tacoma, because they nobody wants the new models. I'm sure they'll be calling about our 4-runner as well.

@lunamaria1048 2 месяца назад

Its very hard to not be bias as you guys working so closely to Toyota. I would prefer the 6 cylinder (the same 6 cylinder as the tundra) without a turbo and no hybrid over the 4 banger turbo hybrid. The battery eats up too much space.

@J.Young808 2 месяца назад

The Tundra is a turbo, they had wastegate problems on the first Tundras.

@healer81 2 месяца назад

@@J.Young808 I'd like to think they solved that problem and if they just used the 6 cylinder without the turbo it would distinguish itself from the gx and the land cruiser prado that should ideally have the 6 cylinder with a turbo which it does not. The 4 runner closed the gap between them and the bronco but the bronco still is a step or two above it. Especially since you can build a bronco with a v6.

@denniswilson5670 2 месяца назад

Admittedly, I'm old school. I over-landed from South Africa to the UK with a 1974 Land Rover a while back. So why, oh why, did Toyota add air-conditioned seats and a motorized rear tailgate to the 6th gen? Both are redundant added weight and a problem waiting to happen when they fail. I put them in the category of "unless luxe". On a positive note, love the look! Can anyone comment on the additional weight of the hybrid vs the non-hybrid? I couldn't find weight specs. I think I read that the hybrid battery pack is NiMH.....that can't be right???

I'm curious why not go ahead and make the trail hunter and trd pro full time 4 wheel drive with part time 4 low and 4 high? I feel like it could turn off a segment of buyers that want the cool top trims but want to have a full time 4 wheel drive for on the road wet and snowy conditions. Also, why no front locking diff? I'd think to fully complete with bronco and wranglers they'd finally do a true front locker. Overall huge improvements but at least as of now I feel like to get the perfect 4runner I would want to piece them together. Trail hunter but want the sun roof the TRD pro has and the full time 4 wheel drive of the limited. Hopefully there will be options to add.

Is it better to have all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. Have seen videos but just still grasp it. Had an Audi which was Quarro which which 4 all wheel. I guess if you do mind off reading then may be you do not want an all wheel. Is my understanding correct can you trurn 4 wheel drive.
