The 2025 4Runner is expected to be the last model year for the SUV before it undergoes a redesign. One of the most significant changes for the 2025 model year is the addition of a manual transmission option for the TRD Pro trim. This is a major development for Toyota, as it has not offered a manual transmission in any of its SUVs since the FJ Cruiser was discontinued in 2014.
The 2025 4Runner manual transmission is a six-speed unit that is paired with the SUV’s 4.0-liter V6 engine. This engine produces 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, which is plenty of power for most driving situations. The manual transmission gives drivers more control over the 4Runner’s performance, and it also allows for better fuel economy than the automatic transmission.
