The all-new, sixth-generation Toyota 4Runner is finally here, ending a 15-year reign in showrooms for the previous version of Toyota's rock-crawling mid-sized SUV. Toyota's new interpretation of the 4Runner is decidedly more modern than the truck it replaces,

Thankfully, Toyota kept the body-on-frame construction for 2025, but the last-gen was built on the N280 platform that was refined over many years. The new TNGA-F platform could potentially experience durability issues that can be endemic for full redesigns. Only time will tell how well or how poorly the new model will hold up.

For example, both the Land Cruiser and 4Runner have the same 112.2-inch wheelbase, the same eight-speed automatic transmission, and nearly identical width, with most trims measuring 77.9 inches across. They also share a 6,000-pound towing capacity when properly equipped.

In this comparison, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler meets an entirely new version of an old rival: the 2025 Toyota 4Runner. While the Wrangler has seen some incremental changes, the 4Runner recently rolled out an all-new sixth-generation model,

Both rugged and attractive, Toyota turned the relatively pedestrian 4Runner into something capable of running with the Jeeps.

Overlanding is exploding as a hobby and with the launch of the all-new 2025 Toyota 4Runner it’s about to get even more popular.
