0-60 mph comparison Hybrid vs Gas 4Runner?

[CShel]

I apologize if this has already been discussed but is anyone aware of a Zero to 60 and / or quarter mile comparison between the Hybrid and Gas 4runners, I am guessing it is significant but would be good info To have moving forward.

There's no published or tested 0-60 times yet for the 2025 4Runner 6th gen, but both Car and Driver and Motortrend published their field tested 0-60 times for the 2024 Tacoma Hybrid vs. Gas Models. These figures can give us a clue what to expect from the 2025 4Runner.

Motortrend
7.1s 0-60 for Tacoma TRD Pro Hybrid (source)
7.2s 0-60 for Tacoma TRD Off-Road Gas (non-hybrid) (source)
7.4s 0-60 for Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 Gas (non-hybrid) (source)

Car and Driver
7.6s 0-60 for Tacoma TRD Pro Hybrid (source)
7.0s 0-60 for Tacoma TRD Off-Road Gas (non-hybrid) (source)

I don't know why the 2 publications got such different 0-60 times for the Tacoma TRD Pro Hybrid (0.5 seconds difference) but hope that helps answer your question until we see actual 0-60 times for the 6th gen 4Runner.

So the non-Hybrid is faster than the Hybrid even with less hp/torque. Must be the lighter weight.

In Car and Driver's results, yes. But Motortrend went got slightly better acceleration in the TRD Pro than the non-hybrids.

I don’t think it the weight when you looking at 50 more hp and 140lb of torque. Something just don’t add up when you looking at close to 500lbs of torque on the I max. Towing should be a lots higher, zero to 60 , quarter mile too.

Right. Now looking at the numbers more closely, it really doesn't make sense that the non-hybrid could be faster:

For TRD Offroad:
non-hybrid, 278 hp / 317 lb.ft / 4850 lbs: 17.4 lb/hp, 15.2 lb / lb.ft
hybrid, 326 hp/465 lb.ft / 5225 lbs : 16 lb / hp, 11.2 lb / lb.ft
