The ever-popular Toyota 4Runner stays true to its off-road roots with a traditional body-on-frame design, now shared with the redesigned Tacoma pickup and larger Land Cruiser SUV. For 2025, the 4Runner gains easier access, updated controls, and more advanced safety features. Buyers can also choose from 12 trims, including versions with a hybrid powertrain.

Released youtube review but still says in testing at the consumer reports website?
The lowering rear window is just a vestigial reminder that the 4Runner used to be a Bronco-like truck and the top came off…
I wish Toyota would at least put a manual transmission in this thing. It’s just so… boring, as it sits, for me.
Finally an outlet that actually buys a modest trim to test. People on the internet seem to think this car starts at 55k because they think the trailhunter/trd trim is the base trim and what everyone buys. Nice to see an outlet test a lower trim, even if it takes time to see the full test.
