As a fleet manager, you need a reliable vehicle that can tackle tough terrain and provide your team with the comfort and safety they need to get the job done. The all-new 2025 Toyota 4Runner is the perfect solution for your fleet's SUV needs.

Built on Toyota's TNGA-F global truck platform, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner is a solid foundation for any commercial fleet. Its high-strength boxed, steel-ladder frame and multi-link coil rear and double wishbone front suspension ensure that it can handle any off-road challenge.

Plus, the adoption of the TNGA-F platform improves the vehicle's ride comfort and on-road manners, making it a pleasure to drive even on the roughest roads, according to the manufacturer.

A Variety of SUV Models Options for Commercial Fleets 

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is available in 2WD, part-time 4WD, or full-time 4WD, so you can choose the model that best suits your fleet's needs. 2WD models feature an automatic limited-slip differential (Auto LSD), while four-wheel-drive models have an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case with high/low range, Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), and an automatic limited-slip differential (Auto LSD). 

An electronic locking rear differential is standard on TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter grades.

The all-new sixth generation 4Runner raises the bar in terms of go-anywhere capability and high-end refinement. It offers two powerful and efficient turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder powertrains including the i-FORCE engine with 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque that is paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited grades come standard with the i-FORCE powertrain.

4Runner's i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain is available on TRD Off-Road and Limited, while standard on the TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and Platinum models. This powertrain pairs the turbocharged 2.4L engine with a 48-hp electric motor integrated into the eight-speed transmission, feeding off a 1.87-kWh NiMH battery pack that creates a total system output of up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, which Toyota noted is the most powerful powertrain ever offered on 4Runner.

Increasing 4Runner Safety & Cargo Capability 

The all-new 2025 Toyota 4Runner introduces a new look and adds new technology, premium materials, options, and safety. Second-row tumble seats help increase the 4Runner's interior versatility and maximize cargo floor usage.

In terms of capability, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner raises the bar yet again. The newly available Stabilizer Bar Disconnect Mechanism increases suspension articulation at the push of a button, allowing the vehicle to flex while helping keep tires in contact with the trail. 

The available Multi-Terrain Monitor system aids the driver, allowing them to see potential hazards on the center display. With up to 32-degree approach and 24-degree departure angles, the 4Runner is trail-ready and can handle any challenge your fleet may encounter.

4Runner also received Toyota’s latest technology with new screens. A new 8-inch or available 14-inch multimedia touchscreen displays Toyota’s latest Audio Multimedia system, which is designed and engineered by Toyota’s Texas-based Connected Technologies team. 

The instant name recognition that 4Runner has built over the past four decades is undeniable, and this all-new 4Runner stays true to its original concept as an extremely capable, dynamic, and durable off-roader. It will continue to provide your team with a window to bigger worlds. The 2025 4Runner will be built in Toyota Motor Corporation's Tahara plant in Japan and will arrive in the U.S. in the fall of 2024.
