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, but the two share some key similarities and design elements.

The Toyota 4Runner is a tried and tested SUV. Over the years, the rugged vehicle has gained a lot of compelling features to compete in a crowded market.

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.
