Just purchased a 2025 4 runner sr5 , 3 weeks ago. Every day for the 1st 30 minutes of driving ,it sounds like it's a 10 year old car. Have reported to dealer and Toyota for them to tell me there is nothing they can do. They say Toyota uses 1type of brake pad only, and changing them won't help, if my husband uses after market ones that will void the warranty. Wil keep car one more month and if no recall is offered for this, then I'm trading cars. Never had this problem with a highlander I just traded in!! Not a happy client of Toyota at the moment.

Terrible Ride Quality

2025 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Worst ride quality of any vehicle I've experienced. I've had a Tundra and Silverado and they were way better. Terrible over bumps big and small. Don't have kids quite yet but would not dream of putting them in a carseat in this thing. It's jarring over small bumps, and will buck you out of the seat on medium to large bumps. If this is an around town family vehicle buy something else.

Poorly Redesigned / Previous Version Was Better

2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

The redesigned 4Runner is a real letdown. The interior has a cheap feel, especially the hard plastic door panels. Premium fuel is "recommended" for the turbo 4 cylinder engine, which more than cancels out any fuel economy gains compared to the previous 6 cylinder. Plus, I doubt the long-term durability will be very good, as every other turbo powered car I have ever owned has suffered in that regard. The size of the interior feels smaller compared to before, especially the back seat headroom. Anyone above 6 feet tall will now have their head pressed up against the ceiling. I am not a fan of the overall size and styling. At this point, exterior wise, it just seems too big. The front end styling also has a pig-nosed look that reminds me of a Dodge circa 2005. Not a good look, as far as I am concerned. Finally, the price of a well equipped, but not top-of-the-line, 4Runner has gone up by roughly $15,000 compared to just last year. That's crazy for a vehicle that I would classify as being mediocre, at best!

We were fortunate to find my wife a 2024 Ltd trim as she doesn't put on many miles so we'll have it a long time. I bought the '25 4Runner TRD premium that reminds me of the former TRD Sport. The fuel economy improvement of the '25 is offset by the required premium fuel cost. Ride quality is a bit rougher than the '24 Ltd trim. Build quality is improved from last year. Off-roading is factored in more with the '25 4Runner line up. I seldom buy the 1st year of a new generation so I have been in touch with my dealer for ordering a '26. If resale stays strong I should get a good deal. Just had my 20Kmi service and a majority of the bill was covered by Toyota and my dealer. Interior design and layout makes it feel roomier than previous generation. I test drove the new Land Cruiser as it's price over lapses the new 4Runner but the exterior design of the '25 4Runner is sharper IMO of previous generation 4Runner and new Land Cruiser. My 4Runner shares many features with the Tacoma and I'm on the fence about the I-force Max 4-cyl. I don't regret my purchase and may keep it as resale numbers will determine how long. Thank you for reading my review !

Disappointed 2025 Toyota 4 Runner Limited

I do not like the engine/transmission with the 2.4 L Turbo hybrid engine. Initial acceleration is jumpy with a hard noticeable shift of gears with acceleration. I want my 6 cylinder back. The engine was quieter and the shifting gears were smoother. The seats in the older 4 runners were more comfortable. The interior quality now is just average with the exception of the large infotainment screen. If I had been able to test drive this more I would have kept my previous vehicle. I do not think it is worth $64,000.
