The Most Detail Look At The 2025 4Runner Trailhunter 

Huge shout to our channel sponsor YotaVerse! Heck ya brotherrrrrrrrr. Check out YotaVerse: www.yotaverse.com Discount Code: TRDJON10

This Trailhunter 4runner looks good with this color, even the interior looks good. I’ll be interested to see how the first year production vehicles shake out, what kinds of kinks come out.

Good thing is when you buy the 4runner you’ll have three vehicles with the same exact powertrain basically 😂 and 2 with the same exact interior!

This video is amazing! Well done TRD JON!

33s on a stock 4x4 is wild! In high school we had to throw a least a 3 inch lift on trucks and bring the sawzall in for some body work to clear everything. What a time to be alive!😂

I was locked up for a whoke year, last i remember you had 49k views, i remember when you had 6.5k views, man you are growing rapidly.

It is a bit ironic how car guys talk about how great Porshe turbo's are and Hellcats with 700+ horsepower are cool. Trucks are a bit different, but turbo's and superchargers are a great way to get big power and efficiency from smaller engines. There is no free lunch, reliability may suffer a bit and adding a hybrid will make it more complex. My last supercharged car went 160K miles and my hybrid was at 178K miles both were still going strong. Most people don't keep their vehicles 300K miles. Have a 5th gen 4Runner with 156K and it's great, but slow and gets horrible gas mileage. If anyone can put together a turbo/hybrid drivetrain Toyota can. There are thousands of used 4Runners and GX460's and you can find new ones out there still. Mine will be on the market once I get a TrailHunter. Buy what you want...

Hello Jon, appreciate your content! Looking at the new LC or ‘25 4Runner for my next vehicle (been driving a v8 runner for 15 years so kinda a big deal). How would you compare the rear seat space and seating position between the very similar vehicles? The LC being taller mean the seats are also taller sitting? Thanks!

I’m so excited I can’t wait to hear that 4cyl roar ! Lol

These new trucks and vehicles are just RU-vid shows for me 😂. Keeping my paid off. 21 Tacoma these prices are crazyyy

Wanting to see the TRD OR and TRD Sport. Planning on getting one from Danville Toyota!

I was actually excited about the new Tacoma and 4Runner. Now that they are basically out I’m so disappointed. The prices have totally took the excitement away instantly. And one engine choice just makes it worse.

Great stuff, Jon!

no hood struts is one of those things that doesn’t really matter until your really hot, cold, wet, or stressed haha 😂

To me it looks better than currGenentech gen. Not even close how much better it looks.

I have my gripes, but I will say the interior are nice touches all around. I dig the onboard compressor in the back, very cool to see that OEM and of course, an interior with more organization and gear stowage in mind.

hey jon, I am wondering do you think the presence or absence of hybrid on the 4unner or land cruiser 250, is essential or would you say its just a plus? kind regards

Nice video, thank you. I like how the gauge cluster has both turbo boost and the battery level, as well as the trans/oil temp. All good telemetry to have. I wonder if the Trailhunter might get a high rise intake delete option. Everything else is solid, but I wouldn't need the snorkel. Hopefully the TRD Pro ditches the gloss black fender trim in favor of the rougher look on this trim.

how does the drivers sitting position and overall interior compare to the LC250 ?

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Delighted Can not wait for dealership arrival this fall

Thanks John, you did a good job :) bring a tape measure lol, thats a plus. Sorry, just razin ya

The color look awesome!!! I hope the TRD off road have a hood scoop.

Good video Jon that's for the close up to the 6th Gen

#metallicky Thanks for the content, keep up the great work! Leaving my 2010 4Runner soon to get into a 250 LC. Fingers crossed. These new 4Runners look great too! Can’t decide if I like the trdpro or trailhuntress with the old man emu holding her up! 😊thanks again!

Love the TrailHunter! The only ding I can give this is I agree with the rear air. I wish it was overhead and that the rear passengers had access to controls. Poor doggos in the back get no air when the vents are in the back of the console versus overhead.

I am really sick of all the haters, especially for this RU-vidr. I enjoy watching car videos. Everyone up in arms about the engine- although it is not what we want, the government has made it totally clear and Toyota is just late to the game. Ford has been putting turbos in trucks for over 10 years. Chevy puts a 4 turbo in a full size truck. The price- everything is expensive. Are Toyotas a few grand more- yes, but they always have been. If you don’t want it, don’t watch and don’t buy. Personally, I am just waiting for interest rates to go down and the first year or two of production.

How much better will the 2WD MPG be vs 4WD in your estimation?

I hope the 4Runners door panel will be the exact fit for my Tacoma so I can get some nice soft stuff.

Does the Trailhunter have an auto awd mode for driving on regular roads?

Expecting big recalls in few years like they just announced for 2022 and 2023 thundras today.

Those Toyo - open country at3 are the best all terrain tires ❤️‍🔥

Anyone else find it weird they still use a prop in 2025 for the engine hood? I wonder why they cheaped out there and not have the usual lift shocks.

Any idea when we will get to see the SR5?

Congrats on achieving 100k!

Will the TRD PRO version have a Heads up display ?

Thanks for the video Jon, Im old school and i am not a fan of the power train- some features are good and others not so good but it does look good.

Love the color!

Anyone knows the ground clearance for these new 4R?

What’s the deal with no metal rear bumper like they advertised so heavily on the Taco?

Sorry havent heard a clear answer yet, since youve had hands on both. Are the interiors the same on the new taco and 4runner? Trying to get a feel for what 4 runner im going to get and nothing out yet on the 4runner besides the high level trims

Does the new 4R have more room in back seat than the new Tacoma? Also cargo room camparison with new Land Cruiser?

I like the front end of the new 4runners better than the gen4 Tacomas. reduction of fake vent under the headlight looks a lot more balanced IMO.

When do we get a 4x2 hybrid? Are they afraid of an SUV getting 30mpg or close to it?

Next time your looking a trd pro 4 runner take a tape measure, I interested in knowing the seat height from the ground, want to see if it will be a jump to get into.

When do we get to see an SR5 or something more budget friendly?

You guys should check out the new tundra aswell heard its pretty sweet.

I like that green color

Hey TRD Jon,when will the dealerships start getting the TRD pro and the trail hunter

are the taking orders for the 4 Runners now?

You’re welcome for pointing out the door handles at the fireside chat 😉😂

These prices are out of control.

Would look better with a v6

The only thing im amazed at all new 4Runner is it c ame back as Pickup Passenger SUV like it was before

All odd numbered gen 4runners are the best.

Glad they got rid of the fake hood scoop! The only styling thing about my 18 TRD Off Road that I don't like. Love the high-rise air intake!

Nobody talks about the trailer backup feature. Why?

That middle row legroom looks fit for a 5' tall mini-person.

I just want a normal trailhunter look with a 3 row config.

Octane/Fuel requirements?

I wanna see what a trd off road looks like

Have these been recalled yet?

Are you gonna make an appearance at Expo East in October?

Love that birds nest of an engine bay.. classic Toyota reliability and simplicity!

I think I'd rather have a really clean Gx470 for a quarter of the money

That back glass probably super expensive to replace

Thanks Jon, love this 6th Gen! I see folks complaining about pricing, but I was a Wrangler guy for a long time, so now I’m just stoked for a 4Runner Trailhunter- I figure it’ll still be a relative bargain next to a Rubicon… with Toyota reliability to boot! Only thing I’d miss would be a front locker 🤷‍♂😊

This 4cyl turbo along with all the hybrid bullshit scares the hell out of me. It won’t be as bulletproof as the fifth gen 4R.

Great placement on the compressor. Picture you hit civilization and want to air up. First unload your cargo or remove your drawers/fridge so you can access the air. Wait ... what?

The Trailhunter seems like the vehicle we will get of the new 3 TNG frame SUV's. It has the heavier shocks, underbody protection and is set up for Overlanding/towing. The GX550 engine sounds good with the heavier towing, but the extra cost for the Overtrail puts it out of our price range, the fuel economy and the engine recalls don't help either. Will keep our 5th gen until the new 4Runners have been out a while. Hopefully, the inventory levels will improve and the price gouging will end. Want someone else to have the teething problems of the new model...

There’s absolutely nothing you could say to convince me to get this or the new Tacoma

How will the massive Toyota Lexus engine recall affect the new 4Runner's release?

Love your videos. Subscribed. The more I look at the 6th gen, the more I love my 2022. Yes, MPG is laughable (never cared in the first place) and it's slow compared to this new hybrid engine, but my rear seats fold down flush with the trunk floor, the trunk floor doesn't have a 4-inch rise due to a battery, my beloved rear roll-down window is bigger (the button is in the right place next to the shifter), and I know the V6 can last 300K+ miles.🙂It doesn't mean I don't like the 6th gen, but is it "worth" a $10K+ upcharge from the 5th gen? I think not.

Guess we’re gonna see a new video soon regarding the tundra recall

I am stuck between the 4runner and the tacoma

Tundra recall?

Waiting for the engine recall on these new turbo charged motors🤷🏻‍♂️

All quiet on the Toyota recall. I guess the VIP/all expense paid Early Access provided by Toyota are worth keeping😂

Land Cruiser. Especially if they add a standard transmission option down the road.

In 50 years we will be on 1 cyl, and folks will be complaining saying it's nothing like the 4 cyl :D

Happy I got my 24 last week. Not really into this gen

I hate that they changed the way the rear seats fold. It was perfect with the 5th gen.

Has Tojota told you if all 4th gen Tacos will be recalled as well? Clearly theres a reliability issue woth the brand now.

Looks good. Too bad about all the new Toyota engines though.

Did they get rid of all the backseat leg room?

Man with all the problems lately with toyota engines i just dont trust buying the from them, especially first gen. First gen is always a risk but they have really dropped the ball on the recent releases of many of their products. Will take some time to gain trust again at this point. Also finally saw the new tacoma in person and the new styling just seems off. Looks good in pics and video but in person i much prefer previous gens. The new canyon and colorado look far better imo and you get more for your money.

These new 4Runners look good. Hopefully they won't have all the engine problems that the Tundra and the Lexus are having. Toyota just issued a recall 102,000 vehicles strong for the Tundra and the Lexus because of potential engine failures!

I might be the only one that thinks this engine is perfect. I want the smallest most fuel efficient engine I can get that gets the job done, and it seems like Toyota nailed it. Might have to get a Trailhunter 4Runner next.

Jon, just a heads up I'm sure you know about. You've been called a " shill" for Toyota by another vlogger in regards to whats going on with the Tundra recalls and your refusal to criticize Toyota for their failings. Interesting video.

I can't believe for the cost of a TRD Pro or a Trailhunter you get a prop-rod. Unbelievable.

I’m just here for the honest videos about Toyota recalls, subpar customer service and false reporting. Oh wait, my bad.

I was so excited about the 4Runner but after hearing about how the new turbo tundras are faring right now, I decided to go with a GX 460. I found a fully loaded 2022 luxury trim GX with off road package with 25000 miles for 58k out the door . I couldn’t let that go. It’s been a week and I am loving my GX

I hate that the Tacoma and 4Runner are the same. If one is made on the other damn side of the earth then why not mix it up and make some more differences? I love my 5th gen and how it looks like nothing else. I am glad this one doesn’t have those dumb seats that were a giant waste of engineering and money. The air is a really nice feature though.

Trd Jon’s brain needs to be recalibrated, most people are very disappointed with Toyotas new products

These new Tacoma 4 runners are too expensive for what they are. Your approaching full size truck prices and full size suv

Non-sliding 2nd row. Cupholders for a non-existent third row. Odd roof rack that doesn't extend all the way. The Ineos Grenadier is starting to look better every day.

Not the yotaverse #ad 😂💀

Honestly it's a cool truck and they did well with making a cool car that meets emissions standards. Aside from price, it's cool. Also. Just move the front door handle up. For god's sake no thinking???

You’ll see these in 5yrs with the 4.0 swap 😂

Running out to purchase a 2024 4-Runner Off Road.. These hybrid batteries have a shelf life, unlike the current 4-Runner that can last for decades.

$120000 is too expensive
