Someone applied 3M carbon fiber vinyl wrap on their Tacoma fender flares and side mirrors (same parts as on the 2025 4Runner). The vinyl wrap protects the flares and mirrors against scratches, pinstripes, rock chips, while also giving a cosmetic upgrade.
Process: Fender bolts were loosened...
Here's all three Trailhunter skids installed a TRD Off-Road Tacoma (which shares undercarriage / underbody with 4Runner). Below are post-install photos of all 3 Trailhunter skid plates (vs. factory TRD Off-Road before install).

As we now know, any 2025 4Runner 6th gen that doesn't come with Tech Tow Package from the factory will not have a wiring harness to plug the OEM Toyota trailer brake controller into.
For anyone who wants to hardwire in a physical aftermarket trailer brake controller into the dash, I posted...
Now that we have more 2025 4Runner owners taking delivery and thinking about removing the air dam front spoiler part, the question of how much removal will affect MPG / fuel economy has come up.
So for reference -- removing the air dam chin spoiler resulted in just ~0.7 lowered mpg / reduced...
I posted this in another thread and thought it'd be a good resource to post in its own thread for future reference.
If your 2025 4Runner doesn't come with Tow Tech Package factory installed, then it won't have a wiring harness to connect the OEM Toyota controller to under the dash. Tacoma and...
I followed the all-new 2024 Tacoma 4th gen launch closely last year because I was potentially interested in buying one, and this was one of the first owners who posted on Tacoma4g. He just posted his 1 year review and it should reassure anyone worried about the reliability of the 2025 4runner...
You can remote start the 2025 4Runner 6th gen (and Tacoma) by 2 methods -- using the Toyota app and also via the key fob.

Press Lock Button Twice + Hold Down the 3rd Press

Here's a solid looking wireless charging setup an owner posted on Tacoma4g
I have a base model TRD OR so it doesn't have the wireless pad.
I went with the Ram Mount adhesive ball, 3" arm and Quad Locks mag charging base with ball. I think it a pretty clean set up. Bought a 1 foot usbc to usbc...

Mod idea -- some Tacoma owners have wrapped (with gloss black vinyl) their fender flares, roof, mirrors, door handles for a TRD Pro look.
The vinyl wrap also provides protection for the fender flares, mirrors and door handles.
This is for the Tacoma but should be helpful for 4Runner owners too.

Toyota gave the Canadian buyers the option for a factory block heater, but wouldnt allow it in America from the dealer.
Their reason is potential fires, but that is entirely subject to...
Some Trailhunter owners like their snorkel air intake sound and some don't (here's what it sounds like on video), but if you find that you don't like it on your future 4Runner Trailhunter, here's a DIY solution to quieting the snorkel sound:

Here's an Auto Start Stop (ASS) disable tool for the 4Runner models that have ASS (SR5 4x2, TRD Sport 4x2, Limited models).

The fang lights don't apply (Tacoma TRD Off-Road has different front end design), but the grill install can be helpful for any grill replacements on the 2025 4Runner 6th gen.
