Thanks for pointing out the errors @imac90 and your inputs @visually oriented.
Revised it, basically for myself to see if upgrading ORP from Non-hybrid to Hybrid is justifiable from the point of ratio comparison.
2025 Toyota 4runner Ratios: Hybrid vs. Non-Hybrid Comparison (Power-to-Weight / Torque-to-Weight) 1734823348254-r7


After reading some topics regarding Hybrid vs Non-Hybrid choice preference w/ and w/o factoring in the curb weights, I just came up with a simple quick comparison.

It may not be that 100% scientific or accurate since there are many other factors should have been taken into account (e.g., "you name them")
Just for fun :)

Ahh the curb weight for hybrid is wrong. For example the platinum is 5390lbs. You used the GVWR Gross Vehicle Weight Rating which is the maximum amount of weight the vehicle can handle ie passengers cargo accessories.

When calculating power to weight ratio for an automobile the long-used convention is pounds per horsepower. For example: Limited (non-hybrid) 4970/278= 17.9. Platinum (hybrid). 5390/326=16.5

How did the torque-weight ratio of 1.1 and 1.4 come from?
