2025 Toyota 4Runner Research

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner, equipped with the i-FORCE 2.4-liter Turbo engine, achieves an EPA-estimated 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined for the two-wheel-drive model.

Yes, you can remove the second-row seats in a Toyota 4Runner.  

While it's not something you'd likely do regularly, it is possible to remove the second-row seats for extra cargo space. It involves a bit of work, including removing the seat cushions and then the seatbacks. You'll need some tools and possibly a helper, as the seats can be heavy and awkward to maneuver.  

If you're considering doing this, I recommend checking your owner's manual for specific instructions.

When properly equipped, the 4Runner can tow up to 6,000 pounds. This maximum towing capacity is found on models with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, which is available on the TRD Off-Road and Limited trims, and standard on the TRD Pro, Trailhunter, and Platinum models. 1 Other trim levels with the standard i-FORCE engine still offer a respectable towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. So, whether you're hauling a small trailer, a boat, or even a camper, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner is ready for the task.

Yes, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner offers an available third-row seat. It's an option on the SR5 and Limited trims, allowing for up to seven passengers. Keep in mind that the third row is best for children or smaller adults due to space limitations.

The weight of a 2025 Toyota 4Runner varies depending on the trim level and whether it has the standard gas engine or the hybrid powertrain.

Here's a general idea:

• Gas-powered models: These typically range from around 4,455 lbs to 4,970 lbs, with the heavier trims being the 4WD TRD Off-Road and Limited models.
• Hybrid models: The hybrid 4Runners, which all come with 4WD, generally weigh between 5,225 lbs and 5,500 lbs. The Trailhunter trim tends to be the heaviest.
