2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro i-FORCE MAX

I recently photographed this white 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro i-FORCE MAX in preparation for sale at auction. The sixth-generation 4Runner is the first full redesign of the nameplate since the 2010 model year, though it still looks unmistakably like a 4Runner, and the TRD Pro sits at the top of the lineup. It comes exclusively with the i-FORCE MAX powertrain, a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder paired with an electric motor and an eight-speed automatic. Combined output is 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, a big jump from the V6 it replaces, and the hybrid system delivers that torque low in the rev range, where it’s useful on the trail and in traffic. The TRD Pro adds TRD-tuned FOX QS3 shocks with rear remote reservoirs, a TRD performance air intake, an electronic locking rear differential, and the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism for more axle articulation off-road. It rides on 33-inch Toyo tires and black 18-inch wheels. Inside, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard, and seating remains at five. The black wheels, TRD Pro badging, and dark trim stand out against the white paint, and the lines of the new generation read very clearly.

When photographing vehicles for auction or sale, I capture a comprehensive photoset from every angle, including many more angles and details than are shown here, to meet the requirements of many auction houses.

Photographing your vehicle for auction or sale

Listings on platforms like Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, and AutoTrader depend heavily on photography. Bidders and buyers can’t walk around the vehicle, so the images have to do it for them. A good session covers the full exterior, the interior, the engine bay, the undercarriage, wheels and tires, badging, and the small details that tell a buyer the vehicle has been cared for. Lighting, location, and timing matter as much as the image quality. A clean, well-lit photoset also tends to bring fewer questions from bidders and more confidence in the listing.

I photograph vehicles throughout Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland, for private owners, enthusiasts, and collectors, and the same approach applies to commercial and corporate fleets, branded vehicles, and marketing campaigns. If you have a vehicle headed to auction, or a project that needs strong imagery or video, I’d welcome the chance to work with you. Get in touch to start planning your session.
