2025 4Runner 6th Gen Just Landed at US Ports ⚓️ [First Look Photos]

More Port Arrivals Spotted: Everest TRD Off-Road + SR5 in Underground and Ice Cap

2025 4Runners Arrive at US Port! [Heritage Blue TRD Off-Road]

Heritage Blue and Everest both look real good on the TRD Off-Road.

 

Looks like they went the Tacoma route to justify the sport model (the Tacoma off road always had black fender flares and other black accents and no hood scoop while the Tacoma sport had the color matched body parts and hood scoop) I always thought the 4Runner off road got the best of both worlds but of course they fucked that up with the 6th gen as a money grab

 

just realize no hybrids are being shipped currently, i think they are 2-3 months behind schedule release of the non-hv models

 

2 months behind the gas models. Production of hybrids start in February.

 

thanks, that means march/april before they land in the usa. takes 6-8 weeks via RORO to get to the usa

 

Since the 2.4T gasser is the only choice initially, I would recommend a test drive before laying a deposit. Or at least take a ‘24 Taco around the block and make sure you can live with it. It is a whole new aural experience that requires a pragmatic approach to ownership.

Hybrid seems to quiet the thrashing. It might be worth the wait, if you don’t mind paying a lot more and hauling those batteries for the life of the vehicle.

 

Alright- for the unedumacated, what is via RORO??

 

roll on roll off ship

Oh for crype sake. OK got it. Learned something new today. lol! Thanks.

 

The fuck-up started with the 5th gen TRD Sport

 

Yup trd sport 5th gen is so fucking stupid literally a parts bin car and I feel sorry for the people who didn’t know better and bought one

 

6th gens now showing up on my area dealers' websites.... already listing with big ADM's. Looks like $3k-$10k. Put the crack pipe down please. And it's not even like these are Trailhunters or Pros at this point.

 

The pricing of TRD Sport seemed like it was positioned as the Soccer Mom With Bad Credit special, so you get all the looks of a limited without the extra 6k upcharge and the full time 4wd, but still get the XREAS for comfort.

 

Apparently there is a black TRD Sport being delivered here in a few weeks. I asked about a SR5 and the salesman said they dont make those.lol

 

hahahaha the single soccer mom special

 

That trapezoid line going through the lower front and back doors doesn't look good on the side view. It almost looks like there is a big dent on the doors. It really was unnecessary and doesn't look good.

 

$10K markup on a non-hybrid?! I've only seen as much as $5K. Which already blew my mind since $5K markup on an SR5 is like 12%

 

im glad i got a guarantee invoice price from my dealer

 

No words...

 

I hope nobody is foolish enough to pay 10k over sticker for a 2025 4Runner.

 

They quoted me $56k? No mark up?

 

Oh cute the ‘25 sports safety reflectors now [again]@NoDak





^ My 2016 in 2016

 

Hahaha.... .and they kept the silver valances !

 

you do realize toyota did this on prior gens and they were bigger. i remember my 4th gen had them and then they removed them.

this is my 2004 had to search acorss a few states to find. one of the very rare with the fake oem push bar

 

To my eyes, painted fenders look much more handsome. When they’re unfinished black, you’ve got yourself an Xterra.

Toyota also knows this, b/c why else would they paint the $70k Pro fenders gloss black, when technically it’s not beneficial for bushwhacking.

 

Thats a funny thing to say, its basically a SR5 with a Limited body, Limited wheels, Limited suspension, Limited auto running boards, skid plates, and the hood scoop so many like and want.

I was actively looking for a white Limited with redrock interior for a long time, the white 4wd with auto running boards were hard to find so i had been looking well over a year. My intentions were to color match it or black the chrome similar to a Nightshade and put a hood scoop on it when i got it. I was looking when the October 2022 release of the TRD Sport rolled out and BAM, Toyota did everything i wanted for me so i didnt have to do it. I didnt need a 3rd row even though my 2012 had it, i didnt need the cooled seats but was able to get the TRD Sport with heated seats like any of the other Premium optioned vehicles. Price point didnt matter, i went purely on how it looks from the outside and i think Toyota nailed the vehicles looks. You dont have to like it but i am certainly happy they offered this vehicle.

 

Yours looks great debadged and with AT tires, proper wheels, and no chrome.

 

Or a 4th gen 4Runner...
