Show Notes
Can a legendary off-roader still surprise you in 2025? In this week’s Rush To Reason / Drive Radio review, John and Richard Rush put the 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter to the test — and it’s not your dad’s old 4Runner. With a hybrid turbocharged engine, rugged accessories straight from the lot, and the ability to wade through water while your kids sing along to the JBL speaker you can pull out and carry, this SUV begs the question: is adventure finally plug-and-play?
But there’s a twist — with a price tag nearing $70,000, is Toyota pushing loyalists too far? Can a family still fit comfortably behind the wheel of a legend built for the wild? And when capability meets cost, who really wins?
Hit play to find out what the Rush team thinks about Toyota’s bold new balance between power, practicality, and price — and whether the 4Runner Trailhunter deserves its trailblazing name.
