i-Force Max power and towing
The i-Force Max hybrid system is the headline: combined output is rated around 326 horsepower and an impressive 465 lb-ft of torque, giving the 4Runner real low-end grunt for trail climbs, loaded driving, and confident highway passing. Because of the stronger powertrain and updated hardware, properly equipped i-Force Max 4Runners can tow up to 6,000 pounds — a significant bump over prior generations and a useful capability for boats, ATVs, and small campers. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Real-world fuel economy
Despite the extra performance, i-Force Max 4Runners deliver competitive fuel economy for the class thanks to the hybrid assistance. EPA-rated numbers vary by trim and drivetrain, but many i-Force Max 4WD configurations are estimated roughly in the low-20s MPG combined (manufacturer projected figures list about 23 city / 24 highway / 23 combined on several i-Force Max 4WD trims). Exact EPA figures depend on the trim and options you choose. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Off-road DNA and Trail-ready equipment
Toyota didn't turn the 4Runner into a soft crossover — it amplified its off-road DNA. The 2025+ 4Runner line adds specialized trims such as Trailhunter and TRD-oriented packages with features like ARB/Old Man Emu-backed off-road kit options, skid protection, multi-terrain drive controls, locking differentials, and rugged suspension tuning. These upgrades make the i-Force Max 4Runner a potent platform for serious trails, overlanding setups, and remote campsites. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Interior comfort, tech, and towing convenience
Inside, expect a modern cockpit with large touchscreen infotainment that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plenty of USB ports, and driver-assist tech from Toyota Safety Sense. Practical touches for towing and adventure—like available integrated tow prep, trailer-sway control, and multiple camera angles—help make both hitching and backing safer and easier. Higher trims add premium upholstery, heated/ventilated seats, and additional convenience features for long trips. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
