Hi all,
not sure if someone has already popped this up but here's a video on the new 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter in its natural element:
I have seen on the 4runner6g website that there is a new lift kit for a more basic spec model (TRD Offroad was it?) which features 35" tires.
This is definitely something I would be wanted to import across the Atlantic for my purposes. It looks great and comes factory direct with everything needed.
I would probably just add an extra roof top light bar, winch, 2-way radio, and perhaps bullbars (front protection bars) if they are legal in my location (I remember them being banned back in the 1990s - but they're great to mount stuff like cameras to for making Epic adventure videos).
Actually this thing's got me pretty excited as I've kinda fallen in love with it.! It's just great in my view that you have a factory direct vehicle that has so many things which normally you would have to custom modify yourself.
I've also watched the capability of the Trailhunter Tacoma which really looks impressive! For sure we don't have any places that I know of around here as I'm pretty much able to get everywhere using my 4-door sedan but if there were places to take these things it would be unreal, sure out of the country and that's one major plan:
I wish there was a place around locally which was as knowledgeable as ROA (RV's of America) additionally as trying to find a suitable trailer to fit within the 6000lbs (~2700kg) towing weight and still have a dry shower, dinette for 2 people (read table for 2 laptops), minimum queen size bed, and plenty of solar is kinda hard.
So far I like the MDC XT16, the Imperial Outdoors X145 (and X195 but might go over the vehicle rating), or the Pause Reboots (which will definitely go over the tow rating at round 6400lbs). With for example a Lexus GX550 you get up to 9000lbs towing if not mistaken and it's pretty capable in OverTrial+ version, but I am not a fan of the looks either outside or inside.
For me there's just something about having a Garmin system in the trailer also (none of what I mentioned outside of the Pause have it) as it integrates with the full eco-system and even things like the Tread Overland XL navigation device which will then sync up nicely with my GPSMAP 67i.
Of course RedArc is another popular brand for control but when you've got something why not just stick with it right?
I know many people around Europe and Africa love the LandRover Defender 110s and I have seen some really cool pics (not sure if they were real or AI art) which features them with really large and wide tires and body kits that make them look really aggressive and the part for an offroad vehicle. Having driven one I wasn't impressed :-(
Sure they can go anywhere but they're like dinosaurs with everything being mechanical; ok that does mean easier to fix in a pinch and everywhere should really have things ready for them as they so popular world wide but still.....
What does everyone else think? Yay or Nay for the new Trailhunter and/or 4Runner?
