This week, we share our impressions of the redesigned 2025 Toyota 4Runner. Now in its sixth generation, the 4Runner retains its body-on-frame platform, preserving its rugged off-road identity while introducing some modern updates. We break down what Toyota got right—like easier access and more comfortable seating—as well as where the redesign falls short. Plus, we answer audience questions about vehicle drive modes and which manufacturers make the best physical controls.   Test results here: <a href= "https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT"> https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT</a>   Exclusive CR discount for Talking Cars viewers: <a href= "https://www.consumerreports.org/jointalkingcars/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YTT4?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT"> https://www.consumerreports.org/jointalkingcars/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YTT4?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT</a>   Talking Cars Archive: <a href= "https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/cars-driving/talking-cars-podcast-archive-a1439738009/?EXTKEW=YSOCIAL_YT"> https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/cars-driving/talking-cars-podcast-archive-a1439738009/?EXTKEW=YSOCIAL_YT</a>   2025 Toyota 4Runner: <a href= "https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/toyota/4runner/2025/overview/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT"> https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/toyota/4runner/2025/overview/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT</a>   First Drive: 2025 Toyota 4Runner: <a href= "https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/suvs/2025-toyota-4runner-review-a3128307508/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT"> https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/suvs/2025-toyota-4runner-review-a3128307508/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT</a>   Toyota 4Runner by Generation: <a href= "https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/toyota/4runner/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT"> https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/toyota/4runner/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT</a>   Toyota Brand Overview: <a href= "https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/toyota/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT">https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/toyota/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT</a>      Tested: Does Eco Mode Really Save Gas?: <a href= "https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/fuel-economy-efficiency/does-eco-mode-really-save-gas-a6653523930/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT"> https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/fuel-economy-efficiency/does-eco-mode-really-save-gas-a6653523930/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT</a>     SHOW NOTES:   0:00: Intro   0:18: 2025 Toyota 4Runner Overview   1:29: What we love about the 4Runner   11:49: What we dislike about the 4Runner   22:56: Audience questions   23:17: Question #1: What does the Econ drive mode actually do?   26:22: Question #2: Which vehicles have easy-to-use controls?
