The 2025 Toyota 4Runner will feature a Trailhunter off-road trim, as confirmed by a teaser image released by Toyota, indicating a focus on off-road capabilities similar to the Tacoma. The new 4Runner is expected to ride on Toyota's TGNA-F truck platform and may share drivetrain options with the Tacoma, including a standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine and hybrid assistance as an option. With a full debut scheduled for April 9, the 4Runner is anticipated to offer various trims and equipment levels, with pricing likely to be slightly higher than the current model.
Toyota has unveiled the fourth generation of its Tacoma truck, including a new "Trailhunter" model, to maintain its leadership in the growing US midsize pickup market. The Tacoma has led the midsize pickup segment in sales for nearly 20 years, as competitors such as Ford, Jeep, and Chevrolet have come, gone and returned to the segment. Toyota has commanded a roughly 40% share of the American midsize pickup truck segment since 2019 when Ford Motor and Jeep reentered the market, according to Edmunds.
Toyota has revealed the 2024 Tacoma, which includes a hybrid powertrain and a new Trailhunter off-road trim. The Tacoma offers four different engine outputs, including a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder and an optional hybrid engine that produces 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. The Tacoma also features a tougher aesthetic and advanced trailering features, as well as a new Trailhunter trim designed for overlanding enthusiasts. The Tacoma is set to go on sale later in 2023, with pricing to be announced closer to the on-sale date.
