2025 Toyota 4Runner Priced at $42,220; Top Trims Hit Near $70,000

• The 2025 Toyota 4Runner has been priced, and it starts at just over $42,000 after destination charges.
• There are technically 16 trims to pick from. (You read that right.)
• The top models are in excess of $65,000 at base, far more than top models of the previous generation.

According to Toyota, there are 16 different 4Runner trims you can pick from (when you account for various drive trains and packages), and now we have prices for all of them. The long-awaited 2025 Toyota 4Runner will start at $42,220 when it reaches dealers early next year. Prospective buyers will be happy to hear that, despite all the newness (and make no mistake it is entirely new), the new base model 4Runner SR5 (with rear-wheel drive only) is actually a few hundred dollars less than the car it replaces. But that's hardly the full story.

That's just the base model — as you climb up the trim structure things get pricier. We've included a chart below of the full pricing breakdown for every single trim and driveline configuration you can get for the 2025 4Runner. While it might be nice that the base model is cheaper, one look at the bottom of the chart and you'll realize the top-spec models like the familiar TRD Pro and the overland-ready Trailhunter model are now over $10,000 more expensive than before.

The 2025 4Runner will be equipped with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine — the more powerful of which is mated to a hybrid system (dubbed i-Force Max). The base versions of the 4Runner won't feature the hybrid system but still make 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the Tacoma, however, there will be no ultra-base version with lower power outputs and an available manual transmission. Adding the hybrid option bumps power to 326 hp and 465 lb-ft. It's worth noting that the hybrid is only available on some of the higher-end 4Runners (and consequently it drives the price even more skyward).

The reason there are so many versions of the 4Runner to choose from is partly down to how ubiquitous the last one was. There has to be a 4Runner for everyone. Those who want something affordable with few creature comforts and lots of room for customization can go for a 4x4 SR5. Those who do light off-roading might want a TRD Off-Road, and prospective buyers who want as much in the way of creature comfort goodies as possible without the off-roading pretense will likely prefer the new Platinum model. Of course, for the hardcore Toyota faithful, and the most avid off-roaders, there are the the TRD Pro and Trailhunter models.

We haven't had the chance to drive the new 4Runner yet, but consider us plenty excited. We've loved our time with the new Tacoma that's called our long-term fleet home for the last year, and we don't expect the new 4Runner —which shares so much with the Taco — to be very different. But you never know. Keep an eye on this space for our first impressions when we finally get behind the wheel.
