Is the 2025 Toyota 4Runner a good car?

The 2025 model is aimed at you if you want a rugged SUV that still feels more composed on pavement, with a more contemporary selection of four-cylinder powertrains than before.

Is the 2025 Toyota 4Runner reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is presented as a major step forward from the previous generation, with more capability, power, comfort, and technology. It also benefits from a more refined on-road feel and a quieter cabin, which should help reduce fatigue on longer drives.

Its standard turbocharged four-cylinder is described as stronger than the previous V6, and the hybrid adds even more usable low-speed power. The hybrid setup is also framed as a power upgrade rather than a typical fuel-sipping hybrid, which matters if you want extra muscle for tougher driving.

Toyota also says the new sixth-generation 4Runner is a standout and ties that to the brand’s reputation for reliability. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the truck-like layout still asks you to accept some comfort and space compromises.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Toyota 4Runner?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has seen trail use. Focus on signs of wear in the suspension, underbody, tires, and cabin, since this model is built to endure harder use than a typical SUV.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is purposeful and relatively comfortable and refined for the class, but there is an abundance of hard plastic, and the rear-seat space is limited. The base trim is also where you’re most likely to miss out on some of the nicer convenience and tech touches.
• Powertrain: Entry-level trims use a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 317 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque, while the Hybrid i-Force Max raises output to 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid is the stronger choice if you want more low-speed punch and better efficiency.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard and includes frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, a traffic sign reader, and automatic high beams. A blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alerts is optional.
• Infotainment: An 8-inch touchscreen is standard on supporting trims, while a 14-inch screen is available. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are offered, along with a wireless charging pad and a digital instrument panel on Hybrid variants.
• Fuel efficiency: The standard four-cylinder is estimated at 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. The Hybrid is estimated at 23/24/23.

Which 2025 Toyota 4Runner trim should I buy?

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is offered in 9 trim levels: SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, Trailhunter.

Here's the short version:

• SR5: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable with the basics. It’s the trim to consider if you mainly want the 4Runner’s rugged character without paying for extra equipment.
• TRD Sport: This trim adds a more road-friendly flavor while keeping the 4Runner’s core appeal intact. It suits you if you want a little more style and everyday polish than the SR5.
• TRD Sport Premium: This is the better pick if you want the TRD Sport idea with more comfort and convenience. It should appeal to buyers who want a nicer daily driver without moving into the more specialized off-road trims.
• TRD Off-Road: This is the first trim that clearly leans into trail use, and it’s a strong fit if you want capability without going all the way to the top. It’s the best-value choice for shoppers who care most about off-road ability.
• TRD Off-Road Premium: Choose this if you want the off-road hardware plus more upscale features. It’s the right middle ground if you’ll actually use the 4Runner off pavement but still want a more pleasant cabin.
• Limited: This trim is the more comfort-oriented choice in the lineup. It makes sense if your priorities are daily livability and a more polished feel than the adventure-focused trims.
• Platinum: This is the trim to look at if you want the most upscale version of the standard lineup. It’s aimed at buyers who care more about comfort and features than trail specialization.
• TRD Pro: This is one of the most capable adventure models in the lineup, and it’s the trim to choose if off-road performance is your top priority. It’s the most serious option for buyers who want maximum capability.
• Trailhunter: This is the other top adventure model, and it’s built for buyers who want a highly capable overland-style setup. It’s also worth noting that its snorkel can add wind noise on the highway.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard across the lineup, while blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts remains optional.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Toyota 4Runner?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully but still enough demand to reward quick action on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,263 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.57% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 95.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $48,726, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Toyota 4Runner's resale value?

The current average of $49,872 sits slightly below last year's $53,959.

That softer pricing can help you buy in at a more favorable point, but it also means future resale will depend on how well the market absorbs this new-generation model. If demand stays strong, the current price reset could support a healthier ownership cycle for buyers who plan to sell later.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2025 Toyota 4Runner safe?

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner does not yet have crash test results from either NHTSA or IIHS.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard, and it includes frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, a traffic sign reader, and automatic high beams. Proactive Driving Assist is also included, though it can feel intrusive for some drivers; fortunately, you can disable it.

A blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alerts is optional, so you’ll want to check whether a used example has that added.

Should I buy a 2025 Toyota 4Runner or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.57% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings more capability, power, comfort, and technology than before.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $47,076, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $49,872 average.
• It remains a rugged, reliability-focused off-road SUV.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It offers better passenger capacity and hybrid fuel economy than its closest rivals.

The bottom line: If you want the newest 4Runner with the biggest step forward in refinement and tech, the 2025 is the better primary choice. If your budget is tighter, the 2024 can still make sense as the lower-cost route into the nameplate.
