A do-it-all utility vehicle like the 2025 Toyota 4Runner is ideal if you need a vehicle fit for work and play. This SUV offers impressive performance dynamics that can adapt to any road condition, along with other key features for on-road and off-road versatility.
1. Powerful i-FORCE Powertrain
The 4Runner is powered by Toyota’s signature i-FORCE engine, which is designed for consistent and reliable high-performance output. The baseline 2.4-liter i-FORCE turbocharged I4 powertrain produces 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Models like the TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX have a hybrid version of this powertrain that pushes the engine output to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.
2. Selectable Drive Modes
Selectable drive modes are a huge advantage if you drive your SUV in diverse environments. Most models are equipped with Eco, Sport, and Normal driving modes to augment powertrain output for eco-friendly cruising, aggressive acceleration, or everyday suburban navigation. Some upper models have more drive modes, like Comfort, Sport S, and Sport S+.
The 4Runner also comes with on-demand modes for when you are towing a trailer, camper, or another vehicle. The TOW/HAUL mode improves the powertrain output and overall stability of the 4Runner when a heavy load is hitched to the back, allowing you to take on the road with more confidence. The towing capacity for this model is 6,000 lbs.
3. Configurable Cargo Volume
The 4Runner has a standard five-passenger seating capacity, but key seating upgrades on models like the SR5 can increase the passenger seating to seven. This model has a dedicated cargo space of 48.4 cubic feet behind the second row on five-passenger models, or 12.1 cubic feet on three-row models. The maximum cargo volume on the five-passenger trim is 90.2 cubic feet.
A 60/40 split-folding and reclining second-row bench seat is standard. Folding down one side of the rear bench seat can customize cargo volume if you need to haul long items, like tents, recreational gear, or work equipment. On models with the available seven-passenger seating capacity, the third row has a 50/50 split.
4. Power Liftgate Window
Accessing the cargo area when you’re on the go is a breeze with the power liftgate window, which can automatically roll up or down. This liftgate window has built-in jam protection to prevent damage to the window or your fingers since it uses sensors to detect obstacles in the way. Drivers will also appreciate the defogger system with a timer to keep the rear window glass clear of condensation.
The dynamic 4Runner is a terrific SUV for drivers who need a lot of power and adaptable performance for daily driving demands. Schedule a test drive at Keyes Toyota in Van Nuys, CA today.
