The 2025 Toyota 4Runner lineup introduces two powerful off-road trims: the TRD Pro and Trailhunter. Both boast the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain, a 2,400-watt AC power supply, and a significant ground clearance increase—10.1 inches compared to the SR5’s 8.1 inches and the TRD Off-Road’s 9.1 inches. However, key differences distinguish these top-tier models.
The 2025 Toyota 4runner Trd Pro is engineered for speed and desert running, equipped with a composite skid plate and adjustable three-setting Fox QS3 dampers. These shocks prioritize performance and rapid response on challenging terrain. Conversely, the Trailhunter focuses on methodical overlanding, featuring steel underbody protection, an ARB roof rack, rock rails, and Old Man Emu shocks with a remote reservoir. This setup enhances control and stability while carrying heavy loads over rocky landscapes.
Choosing between the two depends on your off-roading style. The TRD Pro excels in high-speed desert driving, while the Trailhunter prioritizes slow, controlled crawling over obstacles. For overlanders, the Trailhunter offers additional features like a built-in air compressor and Rigid LED foglights, essential for remote adventures. Both trims share a starting price of $68,350.
The redesigned 2025 4Runner signifies a substantial leap forward with updated technology, powertrains, and aesthetics, promising a capable and durable off-road SUV for years to come.
