Toyota 4Runner TrailHunter: Greatness Has a Cost

Let’s test drive and review the 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter! And thanks to ‪@MagnaInternationalTV‬ for sponsoring this video!

The Toyota 4Runner debuted in 1984, and Toyota says it was inspired by the Land Cruiser and a lesser-known model called the Toyota Trekker. The Trekker was a Toyota Hilux truck with a camper shell, and the Land Cruiser was a bare-bones utility vehicle with neither air conditioning nor power steering in 1979.

Back then, the Land Cruiser retailed for $6,000. That’s $28,000 accounting for inflation, which is about half the starting price of a new Land Cruiser.

Today, the 4Runner is exactly that. This is a 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter, which is the trailer edition of the 4Runner (and is currently tied for the most expensive 4Runner with the TRD Pro at a starting price of $67,400 USD). The idea behind the Trailhunter is that it’s a turn-key overland and camping SUV (that you can add mods to or make an overlanding build out of). It has 33-inch tires, steel underbody protection, frame-mounted rock rails, and special branded off-road rig suspension from Old Man Emu.

This 4Runner Trailhunter has a turbocharged 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine that, along with Toyota’s i-FORCE MAX hybrid system, makes 323 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. That turbo power goes through an 8-speed automatic transmission to all of the Trailhunter’s four wheels, and it has a towing capacity of 5,800 pounds. 

In this video, we’ll talk about tons of things: the snorkel, on-road sound, interior, stabilizer bar disconnect system, locking differential, crawl control, infotainment screen and technology, and so much more.

Thanks for watching my YouTube channel. Enjoy the drive (and the video)!
