George “Elvis” gray assisted in reviewing the 4Runner on KELS 104.7 “Pirate” FM radio:

My impressions:  The 2025 Toyota 4Runner 4WD Limited impresses right from the start with its commanding body-on-frame build and generous seven-passenger capacity. It delivers the rugged presence SUV enthusiasts love while offering ample space for family, friends, and gear. Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.4 liter powerplant provides plenty of punch, making highway merges and steep climbs effortless, while the ride remains smooth and composed whether you’re cruising city streets or tackling rougher terrain.

Finished in a striking blue that drew compliments everywhere it went, the 4Runner Limited also benefits from a host of smart upgrades for 2025, further refining both comfort, beauty, and capability. The blend of style, power, and practicality makes it a standout in its class, and for those who want a capable SUV with an upscale touch, the 2025 Limited is a confident choice.
