2025 TOYOTA 4RUNNER TRD PRO | WE WERE HANDED THE KEYS! IS IT WORTH THE HYPE?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro makes its public debut, showcasing a significant evolution from its predecessor. The reviewer highlights its shared TNGA-F platform with the Tacoma and Land Cruiser, emphasizing its robust off-road capabilities. Key features include the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, TRD-tuned suspension, underbody protection, and Rigid lighting. While the styling is noted as polarizing, particularly the front fascia, the overall design is seen as cleaner than the Tacoma. A major positive is the retention of the roll-down rear window. However, the hybrid powertrain necessitates a two-row configuration, sacrificing the potential for a third row due to battery placement. The interior is largely familiar, borrowing heavily from the Tacoma, but offers comfortable seating, a large 14-inch infotainment screen, and comprehensive camera views. The reviewer expresses excitement to test the vehicle's off-road prowess further, noting the potential for a low-hanging spare tire and exhaust as minor concerns.
