Toyota finally released pricing details for the new sixth-generation 2025 4Runner, which starts at $40,705 for the base SR5 and goes as high as a whopping $66,900 for the top-spec Trailhunter or TRD Pro. The next-gen Toyota debuted earlier this year in April via the Interwebs, sporting new underpinnings shared with the latest and greatest Tacoma based on Toyota’s latest “Next-Generation Architecture,” or TNGA: GA-F.
It’s the first major overhaul for the 4Runner since the previous fifth-gen model’s original launch in 2005. With the new model, however, comes a whole bucket list of updates and revisions, as well as a new range of configurations, or about nine “grades” in total: SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter. But the most notable new feature of the new 4Runner, besides its new chassis, new grades, and new looks inside and out, is its all-new and first-ever gas-electric hybrid powertrain for the model.

Despite external factors such as inflation and lingering issues with supply chains, the new Toyota 4Runner in base SR5 form manages to cost nearly the same as the outgoing model, costing only $65 more than the previous gen. But all other trims see a considerable hike in price, most likely from the 4Runner’s new use of the company’s latest gas-electric turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder-based i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain.
First launched in the Tundra and the Sequoia, the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain pumps out a total of 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque and is standard on the top-spec 4Runner Trailhunter and TRD Pro, and optional on the TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, and Limited trims. The standard engine is the same turbocharged gasoline 2.4-liter four-cylinder, good for around 278 horses and torques.
Major Price Hikes Across The Board, Except For the Base SR5
The new sixth-gen 4Runner TRD Sport with the standard 2.4-liter engine without the electric hybrid assist is nearly $3,700 more than the previous year’s model. The differences grow even more with the TRD Off-Road and TRD Off-Road variants, both of which are $4,640 and $7,840 more than their previous versions, respectively. The Limited is also around $7,460 more, while the TRD Pro takes the cake for the biggest change, amounting to a difference of just under $12,000. Meaning, if you want a mid-range or fully-loaded 4Runner, you’re going to have to set aside a considerable amount of dough in order to land one in your driveway.
Despite the price hikes, the most expensive 4Runners are still cheaper than Ford’s Bronco Raptor and Jeep’s limited-production Wrangler Rubicon 392. They’re also arguably considerably different SUVs, with the 4Runner being more spacious and more versatile. In comparison, a
starts at a whopping $90,035, while Jeep increased the price of the Wrangler 392 to just a tad under six figures at $99,995 for the 2025 Final Edition.
