If you don't wanna install a tailgate spare tire carrier, another option for off-road trips is to remove the spare tire from underneath the car and store it in your cargo area. No departure angle / scraping issues from spare tire then.
That's what some 4Runner owners have done...
My wife (5') could almost sleep in the cargo area with 2nd row folded. This could be helpful info in getting her to agree for some overnight car camping. ?
TRD Off-Road and OFF-Road Premium trims come with the same wheels no? As far as I know, there's no upgraded wheel package available.
These are all the wheels listed in the standard vs. optional trims guide:
The highlighted column is TRD Off-Road Premium trim. It comes with the same "18-in...
So the 2025 4Runner has now bested the Land Cruiser off-roading at Moab and now on the IKE towing test, that's damn impressive. Definitely makes the LC a harder buy now, unless you prefer its styling.
This is the one direct comparison I was waiting to see. Glad to hear the 4Runner came out on top at Moab! Plus I much prefer its styling to the Land Cruiser which I thought was a nice looking vehicle until the 4Runner was fully revealed.
TRD Off-Road 2025 4Runner trim sounds like the sweet spot...
I'm hoping we see the first 2025 4Runner TV commercial ad air during the Superbowl! ?
Toyota ran a commercial for the new Tacoma during last year's game.
That's a good point, but even if no production date scheduled yet, having first allocations become available is still progress.
@wiscopro does your TRD Pro allocation have a scheduled production / build date yet?
Great solution thx for sharing that. The rubber color of the charging mat even matches the factory plastic part that it's sitting on.
Bookmarked for my SR5 ... when it arrives.

I like this build! Functional and not purposely showy. Mods are all functional and make sense for overlanding use.
Great to see 6th gen 4Runner can fit 35's with just a mild lift and without body chop method (BCM).
