My 2025 4Runner TRD PRO owner review & impressions (8th time 4Runner owner)

[303FAIL]

Just picked up my ‘25 TRDP from Mt States Toyota in Denver this weekend. Paid MSRP of ~$69,000. I traded in my ‘24 Land Cruiser First Edition in trail dust for this T4R. Here are the T4Rs I have owned
- ‘07 Sport silver
- ‘15 Trail Barcelona red
- ‘16 Pro white
- ‘17 Pro white
- ‘18 Pro voodoo blue
- ‘22 Pro lime rush green
- ‘23 Pro solar octane

This was a bit of a tough decision to let my Land Cruiser go for the purchase of this T4R TRDP. They are similar and they are different. The LC had the better interior because it had better continuity and fit and finish. The T4R TRDP has the better driving dynamics and exterior styling. The T4R is much more exciting to drive hands down. Even though they have the same iforce max powerplant and 8 speed transmission the 4R with the TRD cold air intake and TRD exhaust is less turbo diesel sounding while also making better noises and is way more responsive.

As far as comparing it to the 5th gen I think Toyota did a great job with this generation update. More power. More torque. More modern tech. Better MPG. The styling is very much in the lineage of 4R all around. Interior still feels like a 4R. This really is an amazing T4R and I think Toyota knocked it out of the park with this generation.

It did not. I was told that this is being looked at from pretty high up at Toyota as to why it’s on the website but none are coming equipped

Congrats!! Still waiting for mine to come in but it’ll look same as yours so thanks for the preview and owner review

TRD Pro is obviously stacked out of the box, but curious if you’re still thinking of any mods / customizations?

I really like the roof rack coming on the Trail Hunter but not sure if I should cross pollinate like that

On being the first TRD Pro delivery here. Awesome feedback I love hearing how much better the 6th gen is against the 5th gen and LC. Plan on offroading or overlanding much with it?

There’s better aftermarket roof rack options anyway since the Trailhunter roof rack weight load capacity isn’t very high - static load capacity 700 pounds / dynamic capacity 165 pounds.

Did they tell you what the resolution would be ? I imagine they would pay to get everyone’s put back on.

is your exhaust a TRD performance atleast or is it the stock exhaust?

I was told to wait for more info in the future. Not even their parts department can find a part number for this exhaust tip. We will see. But yes it’s TRD exhaust and it sounds really really good

Congrats on the sweet MSRP deal. With that previous ownership list and the TRD Pro now, to say you bleed 4Runner would be an understatement.

I know MPG isn't the point of the 4Runner's Hybrid engine, but please let us know your MPG as you put on more miles. I'd still be curious to know.

I’ll try to take some better pictures this week
