5 Ways the 2025 Toyota 4Runner Excels at Work and Play

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner arrives at Whitby Toyota Company this March, combining practical daily driving features with authentic off-road capability. This mid-size SUV introduces eight distinct grades, including the first-ever hybrid powertrain option and new premium Platinum trim. 


Your daily commute gains advanced comfort and technology, while weekend adventures benefit from increased torque and enhanced off-road systems. The latest 4Runner excels at both roles, ready to handle your morning drive to work and transition seamlessly to tackling challenging trails.


Power and Efficiency for Every Journey  


Your weekday commute through Durham Region takes on new efficiency with the 4Runner's first-ever hybrid powertrain option. The available i-FORCE MAX system delivers 326 horsepower while maintaining fuel efficiency for daily driving. When weekend adventures call, that same hybrid system produces 465 lb-ft of torque, giving you the muscle to handle challenging terrain. The traditional i-FORCE turbocharged engine offers 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque for drivers preferring a conventional powertrain.


Intelligence That Adapts to Any Environment  


The 4Runner's Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 system provides comprehensive protection across varied driving conditions. Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection enhances safety during your daily commute, while Dynamic Radar Cruise Control makes highway journeys north of the GTA more relaxing. The Blind Spot Monitor System with Rear Cross Traffic Alert proves invaluable whether you're backing out of your driveway or maneuvering at a remote campsite.


Connected Technology for Urban and Rural Adventures  


The 4Runner's new Toyota Multimedia system adapts to your environment, whether navigating through Whitby or finding remote trails. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration keeps you connected during your commute, while the available 14-inch touchscreen provides clear visibility in any lighting condition. The available JBL premium audio system with portable Bluetooth speaker ensures your entertainment continues even after you've parked at your destination.


Adaptable Space for Every Activity  


Your 4Runner transitions from comfortable people mover to cargo hauler with ease. The available power-folding rear seats create 1,351 litres of cargo space, accommodating both weekly grocery runs and weekend camping gear. The signature power rear window adds flexibility for long items or quick access. Available seven-passenger seating configurations transport your family during the week while maintaining room for adventure gear when Saturday arrives.


Performance That Adapts to Your Needs  


Daily driving comfort stems from the new TNGA-F platform, improving ride quality and reducing noise levels for your commute. The available Adaptive Variable Suspension automatically adjusts to road conditions, ensuring comfort on Durham Region streets while preparing for weekend challenges. When adventure calls, the available Multi-Terrain Select system and Crawl Control transform your daily driver into a capable off-road machine.


The 2025 Toyota 4Runner arrives at Whitby Toyota Company this March, bringing a new standard of versatility to Durham Region. Our team at 1025 Dundas Street West in Whitby looks forward to showing you how each grade of the 4Runner adapts to your specific needs, from daily commuting to weekend exploration. Visit our showroom to learn more about the eight available grades and reserve your 2025 4Runner ahead of its March arrival.
