Absolutely! If they’re competitive, maybe we’ll see some electric options too. It’s all about adapting to market trends.
Do you think they’ll stick with a body-on-frame design? The current trend toward unibody frames in SUVs makes me curious about their direction.
I would hope so! The ruggedness is what makes the 4Runner unique! But the market demand may push them to consider changes.
I feel like any leaked details about the 2025 model are going to be tightly controlled. But fingers crossed for some exciting news soon!
Toyota is known for their secretive approach. I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear something around the end of this year! What do you think, jeffreywalker?

I really hope they announce it soon! It feels like we’re all just in limbo waiting for news. Could it ever be revealed at a random event instead of a major auto show?
That would be wild! But knowing Toyota, they love the spotlight at major events. Totally reasonable guess!
I think it’ll be consistent with their current SUV lineup, but I can’t help but wish for a super sporty version! Someone can dream, right? 
Ha! That’d be hilarious! A ‘4Runner Sport’ running laps around the showroom floor! But seriously, it’s all about practicality.

Looking back at previous models, it’s clear that they take their time refining features. Any bets on new tech this time around?
For sure, I expect improved safety tech and maybe some off-road enhancements! Can’t wait to see how it evolves while staying true to its roots.
I’m really curious about the 2025 4Runner’s design changes. Will it maintain its rugged appeal against competitors like the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler?
Great point! I’ve read rumors about a more modern look, but I hope it doesn’t stray too far from that Toyota toughness. It’s a key selling point!
Exactly! It’s a balancing act. Let’s hope it turns out amazing when we finally see it!
I think the pricing strategy will be crucial. With rising costs, the 4Runner needs to compete effectively with other mid-size SUVs. What do you think it will start at?
Considering the pricing of competitors like the new Nissan Pathfinder, a starting price around $40,000 might be realistic for the new 4Runner.
Honestly, I don’t really know how the new 4Runner will resonate with buyers coming out of the pandemic. More urban buyers may prefer sleek designs over off-road capabilities.
I see what you mean, but I think there’s still a solid market for robust off-roaders! Look at the continued demand for the Wrangler.
What about tech features? The 2025 4Runner must keep up with the likes of the Honda Passport. Any predictions on upgrades?
I think they’ll need to modernize the infotainment system. A better interface could really help them win over tech-savvy consumers!
