The new sixth generation 2025 TOYOTA 4Runner has arrived. From our time, this is the best iteration so far. But where does it oppose the high -priced brothers and sisters of the North American land cruiser? Toyota decided to bring the land cruiser back to the land cruiser at a high price, which caused the question of how the two SUVs compared. Therefore, let us resolve this debate.
We have drove these two-back to the same road and off-road trails. This is the first driving event of 4runner. Toyota is convenient for two models here. Collecting the experience information there is a combination of the data provided by Toyota, providing an interesting situation for each SUV.
Comment: 2025 TOYOTA 4 Runner Balanced Old Toughness and the comfort of the new era
Let us break down details, including pricing, standard functions, options, driving impression, and so on. Finally, we will clearly depict which of the two is a better total value.
Fast fact
Similarities
These solid SUVs have many similarities, which is not surprising. Both are riding on Toyota’s TNGA-F platform, and Tacoma and moss have the same foundation. This common architecture allows Toyota to use many of the same components in the model.
For example, Land Cruiser and 4Runner have the same 112.2 -inch wheelbase, the same eight -speed automatic transmission and almost the same width. Most edges are 77.9 inches. When equipped with appropriate, they also have 6,000 pounds of traction capabilities.
In addition, Toyota provides its I-FORCE MAX 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid four-cylinder engine for the upper decoration of 4Runner. It happens to be the only available engine in Land Cruiser. The most important thing is that regardless of the application, they can make the same 326 HP (243 kW) and 465 LB-FT (630 nm). However, 4runner also offers the non-hybrid version of the engine, which can provide 278 HP (207 KW) and 317 LB-FT (429 NM), which is a obvious weaker choice.

Although the power assembly has not yet established a reputation with tenacious reliability, Toyota also provides the same warranty package for the two cars. These include three years or 36,000 miles of bumper coverage, five years or 60,000 miles of power assembly coverage, and a mixed component coverage of eight years or 100,000 miles.
Difference on paper
Pricing is the first main place for these two SUVs to start differences. Most of them are attributed to the decoration lineup of each car. For example, the 1958 version of LAND CRUISER starts at $ 56,700, and its decorative amount is $ 61,470, and the gap between the base and the highest specifications is relatively small, $ 4,770.
On the other hand, the starting price of 4Runner is only $ 40,770, but the price gap between the top and the bottom is a gap, and even the most powerful Toyota cannot leap. Trd Pro and Trailhunter Trims each have a MSRP of $ 66,900, $ 26,000, and $ 26,000 from entry -level models. Why is it so widely spread? A key factor is the non -hybrid power assembly provided in the lower decoration, and the land cruiser is a standard configuration for the Toyota hybrid power settings.

Only I-Force is referred to as I-Force. It consists of almost the same 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but there is no hybrid technology. It can make torque of 278 HP (207 KW) and 317 LB-FT (429 NM). It can provide up to 20 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway, according to the merger of Toyota.

Interestingly, the land cruiser is actually a general combination. Although there are more horsepower, in this city, the merger of 22 MPG on the highway, 25 MPG and 23 MPG on the highway. Considering that the basis of reaching the above fuel economy score 4runner is the rear -wheel drive, which will be even more impressive. Each land cruiser has four -wheel drive.

In addition, Land Cruiser provides passengers with more internal spaces, lined up nearly two inches of net empty, and adds one inch of leg space. If this is not enough, it also provides 46.2 cubic feet with a 46.2 cubic -foot hybrid 4Runner, while 42.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
However, there is a balance. Due to the mixed power batteries, all land cruisers are strictly strictly belonged to five, and some 4Runner decoration provides the third row of options for those who need extra seats. In other words, the third row in the 4runner is most suitable for children or smaller passengers, which makes it more convenient than real people.
For some people, these small differences are not enough to prevent them from spending more time to go further. Considering this, let’s break down off -road equipment and driving experience to understand how each SUV is handled at the end of the pavement.
Off -road difference
A statistical point about off -road ability seems to be extended in the comparative test. Ground gap. With this mark, 4runner is an obvious winner here. The SR5 has 8.1 inches, and the range of all other models is 10.1 decorated from 8.8 inches to TRD Pro and Trailhunter.
On the other hand, the land cruiser is only 8.7 -inch ground gaps, regardless of which choice. However, in fact, the ground gap does not explain the whole story. Many off-road experts will say that anywhere between 8-10 inches can enable vehicles to cope with light rock crawling, land and shallow mud.
Large rocks, deep mud and greater challenges require at least 10 inches, which means that TRD Pro and Trailhunter trimming can theoretically, this will do such obstacles, but it is just barely. In fact, these numbers indicate that even with a 4WD humble SR5 (perhaps some all -terrain tires) can solve most of the remaining decorations.

Again, the ground removal is not the whole story. Near the angle is another factor. The land cruiser is the winner here, with a distance of 30/31 degrees. 4Runner Trd Pro and Trailhunter defeated this at a speed of 33 degrees, but the other 4Runner were even less than 20 degrees.
Then, there is a starting angle to talk about. Land cruisers and limited editions, platinum and TRD sports decoration Basic 4Runner matches the departure angle of 22 degrees. TRD off -road, TRD Pro and TRD Trailhunter both have a starting angle of 24 degrees to achieve a small victory. Of course, when I tell you that Land Cruiser has a 25 -degree break angle, this victory feels very short, and the most powerful 4runner has a 24 -degree disconnection angle.
Off -road
Do not say about the physical equipment on each SUV. In terms of impact technology, 4runner does have some great benefits. For example, the TRD Sport has received the impact of the TRD brand, Limited obtains an adaptive variable suspension damping device, TRD off -road with Bilstein Shocks, TRD Pro will get Fox Interna’s width impact, and Trailhunter has obtained Arb Old Man Emu Dampers.
Toyota’s customization of land cruisers does not provide anything. Instead, it can be built by TOKIKO at the two decoration levels. This means that buyers will not be able to get 4runner’s super customized ride. At the same time, this does not get rid of the serious equipment of the standard configuration of land cruisers.
Each LC locks the back and center difference. They also have a full -time four -wheel drive, and the top decoration has a disconnection function with a rotor. Unless you are willing to fall at least $ 66,900 for TRAILHUNTER or TRD Pro, 4runner does not have these features in a packaging.
Driving experience
This 4runner may basically have custom shock absorber, but it is not very different to drive them. Of course, it is attractive to have a set of high -end dedicated vibrations on my SUV. There is no doubt that for those who will really promote this Toyota, this is 5 %. It is less) to deviate from the edge of its off -road capabilities.
For everyone else, the impact of land cruisers will be very good. Don’t forget that LC is to feel it, and it will be more luxurious in general. This is one of the reasons why it provides more internal volume, and why it is more quiet in the cabin as a whole in our test. When the road is exhausted, the land cruisers are actually cruise on the same trails, obstacles and steep stadiums, and 4Runner is the same number of times as 4runner.
I am not a hardcore off -road enthusiast, but I must believe that people can equip them with upgraded shock absorbers for their land cruisers, far lower than the price differences between the top -level LC and 4Runner Trd Pro or Trailhunter, and provide zero zero zero Other choices. Essence
judgment
For those who want low -end decoration, 4runner is a particularly powerful value in this field. The SR5 with a four -wheel drive will be the work that most buyers need in terms of off -road capabilities. It is also the only 4runner that can get the third row of seats.
In addition, Toyota also offers other attractive decorations, such as TRD off -road ($ 49,190) and TRD Sport Premium ($ 52,610). They are more durable and cheaper than basic land cruisers. In addition to these trimming, land cruisers have begun to be significantly attractive.
It is more comfortable than any 4Runner, has larger or more power, provides more cargo space than hybrid vehicles and the same powerful 4runner, and in terms of off -road equipment many.
When we compare Apple with Apple, it is obvious that Land Cruiser provides more prices at the same price as 4Runner Trd Pro and Trailhunter. The X -factor that we did not encounter was that the dealer has already marked 4Runner, so for the stubborn Toyota fans who are willing to get nearly $ 70,000, it has less realization. But this may change.
In the final analysis, we are very interesting in Toyota’s history. Although fans may prefer 4runner or Land Cruiser instead of another cruiser, both are sincere SUVs. More importantly, we can see the effects of this strategy of having two very similar products and selling each other. Which one would you choose? Why? Let us know in the comments below!
