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: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Exclusive CR discount for Talking Cars viewers: https://www.consumerreports.org/jointalkingcars/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YTT4?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Talking Cars Archive: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/cars-driving/talking-cars-podcast-archive-a1439738009/?EXTKEW=YSOCIAL_YT   2025 Toyota 4Runner: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/toyota/4runner/2025/overview/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   First Drive: 2025 Toyota 4Runner: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/suvs/2025-toyota-4runner-review-a3128307508/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Toyota 4Runner by Generation: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/toyota/4runner/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Toyota Brand Overview: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/toyota/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT      Tested: Does Eco Mode Really Save Gas?: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/fuel-economy-efficiency/does-eco-mode-really-save-gas-a6653523930/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT     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?

Driving the new six-generation Subaru Forester SUV – now in seven AWD models – four pure petrol and three petrol/hybrids. I drove the entry Forester hybrid – a new strong hybrid system has made a big difference to this popular constant all- wheel drive SUV – the previous Hybrid Forester was old generation technology and not very fuel efficient - the new system blending the trusty 2.5-litre boxer or flat four engine with a 90kW electric motor located at the rear inside the transmission allowing you to also motor off-road on electric power for short distances at speeds up to 30km/hour . The CVT automatic has 8 selectable manual modes. This all-new Subaru Forester Hybrid has an all-up range of over 1,000kms and I managed 7.1L/100km in a range of on-road around town driving. Ride and handling has benefited from a torsionally stiffer body, also a new electric power steering system makes for a far more engaging drive. The entry Subaru Forester Hybrid at $46,490 offers a huge improvement – little to criticise apart from a tyre repair kit due to the rear mounted battery pack which on a capable 4WD is a disappointment. Subaru’s top seller just gets better with each generation – a firm family favourite with a great track record.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, the Range Rover, more than 55 years on since its launch in June 1970, has more than earned its success and this upper luxury 4WD has set a benchmark that few have come close to. I’ve just driven the Range Rover P530 Autobiography 4WD at $349,000. And frankly, at that eyewatering price you’d expect it to be good, but it’s not just good its exceptional. Powered by a BMW sourced twin turbo 4.4-litre V8 with an 8- speed automatic, all-wheel drive and all wheel steering.2385kgs of upper luxury 4WD that is breathtaking in the way it provides ride and comfort. Few if any will venture off road, but I’ve driven these vehicles at Land Rover’s legendary off-road course in the U.K. in mud up to the door handles and they’re exceedingly capable. One criticism - some of the options fitted to my test vehicle should have been standard fare – charging another $1,000 for privacy glass and $360 for a luggage net seems petty when you’re paying a base price of $330,000. Everything about the interior of the Range Rover Autobiography however speaks luxury – top notch seats, materials, fit and finishers. Warranty, five years/unlimited km with complimentary servicing for five years/130,000kms. The best part the driving – details next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driving the latest top end Range Rover P530 Autobiography 4WD – a simply stunning vehicle, the build quality on the test vehicle exceptional and one could argue at $349,000 it should be. However, keep in mind some upper luxury 4WD’s are twice this price yet the Range Rover Autobiography sets a benchmark. Once its won you over on fit, finish, comfort and materials its ability for a large 4WD on and off the road is simply astonishing. Powered by a BMW sourced 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 with an 8-speed automatic, all-wheel-drive and all wheel steering this 2585kg 4WD is breathtaking in the way in provides ride, handling, and comfort. Land Rover have now set a benchmark with the Range Rover that few have come close to. Given its bulk and weight its handling response on a winding road on 23-inch alloy wheels is very reassuring – a fully adaptive electronic suspension and all wheel steering makes it shrink around you, but we shouldn’t forget that Range Rover pioneered electronic air suspension back in 1992. I managed 14.4L/100km without driving for economy. This is one vehicle it is very easy to rave about, yes the price is eye watering but in upper luxury 4WD’s its simply the best.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Gillespo describes boys and men as the four-wheel drive (4WD) version of humans. It was kind of an insult-compliment combo. It'll make sense when you listen. This was a comfortable and very informal ramble but I think you'll enjoy it. Among others things, we spoke about similarities and dissimilarities between the males and females of the species as they move from childhood to adolescence - looking through a biological, cognitive, cultural, social, and behavioural lens.

New Zealand's Fergus Gunn considers himself a very lucky man. He is still working in a job he loves, he has a great bunch of friends and a loving, close-knit family…and he's alive! Because on the day he rolled a 4WD while checking fences on the remote NT property of Brunette Downs, back in October 2015, it was only thanks to a series of ‘lucky' incidences that ‘Ferg' made it through the day. After being discovered by a fellow station worker, who then raised the alarm, Ferg's initial, lifesaving first aid was administered by a local vet. The RFDS would again save his life, by giving Fergus a blood transfusion in the field, before he could be airlifted to hospital. The story of this Jackaroo's remote station accident would make national headlines.***Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

China's Sodium-Ion Scooter Revolution Summary: China is rapidly adopting sodium-ion batteries in its electric scooter market, led by companies like Yadea. These cheaper and safer alternatives to lithium are ideal for short-range urban transport and could eventually disrupt global battery supply chains. ________________________________________ Toyota Bets Big on Logistics Tech Summary: Toyota is privatising Toyota Industries Corporation to focus on autonomous forklifts, logistics software, and low-emission powertrains. The move reflects a broader trend: rebranding transport as "mobility" and modernising freight handling from the warehouse floor up. ________________________________________ Can Telematics Tame Young Drivers? Summary: A small-scale Aussie study shows real-time driver feedback via telematics might help young drivers—but only briefly. Long-term behavioural change remains elusive, and the research highlights the need for better message delivery methods behind the wheel. ________________________________________ Great Wall Climbs 'Beer O'Clock Hill' Summary: Great Wall Motors proved its off-road mettle by conquering one of Australia's toughest 4WD tracks. Notably, a plug-in hybrid Ute made the climb—demonstrating how EVs and hybrid tech are redefining off-road performance expectations. ________________________________________ Dodge's Electric Muscle Car Stalls Summary: Dodge has paused production of its EV muscle car after poor U.S. sales. Traditional petrolhead buyers weren't sold on battery-powered bravado, highlighting the emotional and cultural resistance still facing EVs—especially in the performance segment. ________________________________________ Driving While Female: Beyond Tokenism Summary: An international survey aims to understand women's experience behind the wheel. While the intent is strong, David and Paul warn against shallow analysis. Real progress requires data that captures access issues, social pressures, and behavioural patterns—not just averages. ________________________________________ Road Toll Stats: Misused, Misunderstood, and Misleading Summary: David unpacks Australia's latest road fatality stats, urging caution when interpreting small sample sizes or percentage shifts. A major jump in remote area deaths is likely due to improved reporting or infrastructure gaps, rather than sudden behavioural changes. ________________________________________ Northern Territory Tops Road Risk Charts Summary: The NT continues to record Australia's highest road fatality rate per capita—over four times higher than most other states. Long distances, rough roads, and speed are likely factors. The data underscores the life-saving power of infrastructure investment. ________________________________________ Respecting the Lane: Lessons from the Autobahn Summary: Paul reflects on how German road courtesy—like letting buses overtake trucks—contrasts with Australia's often combative driving culture. It's a reminder that education, not just engineering, plays a key role in safer roads. ________________________________________ Review: Jaecoo J7 SUV – Chinese Sophistication on a Budget Summary: The Jaecoo J7, a more refined cousin of the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, offers great value with a premium feel. It's better built, offers AWD, and comes with a future buyback guarantee—appealing features in a rapidly evolving Chinese car landscape. ________________________________________ Program Links and Credits This Overdrive program originally aired on the 7th of June 2025.

This week we road test two vehicles with strong all-terrain credentials: the 2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Hybrid and the 2025 Lexus LX 700h. Co-host Chris Teague put the Toyota through its paces as winter finally turns to spring in Maine. Host Jack Nerad, accompanied by most of his immediate family, tested the luxury Lexus during a extended weekend in Texas. Both vehicles pair a hybrid powertrain with off-road-focused equipment, so there are interesting parallels between the two in addition to their obvious — and not-so-obvious differences. The Tacoma uses the i-FORCE MAX system, combining a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine and electric motor for a total output of 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The TRD Pro's standard equipment includes part-time four-wheel drive, FOX QS3 adjustable shocks with rear remote reservoirs, and 33-inch Goodyear tires on 18-inch black alloy wheels. Unique to the TRD Pro, IsoDynamic Performance Seats use an air-over-oil shock system designed to reduce body movement on rough terrain. Exterior elements include a TRD grille, cat-back exhaust, and the exclusive Mudbath paint option. Inside, the Teagues got the benefit of the TRD Pro's 14-inch touchscreen with Toyota's latest multimedia system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and JBL audio. The truck had Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, offering adaptive cruise control, lane tracing assist, road sign recognition, and proactive driving assist with support features like trailer backup guidance and a digital rearview mirror. While the Teagues certainly didn't suffer, the Nerad family basked in the ultra-luxury of the 2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail. The full-size premium SUV combines hybrid performance, off-road functionality, and upscale features that set it apart from previous LX editions. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 with a hybrid system that produces 457 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, it uses a 10-speed automatic transmission and offers full-time 4WD. While it offered a boulevard ride as we discovered on our way to and from Globe Life Field, the 700h Overtrail is loaded for bear on the off-road front. It includes Crawl Control, Active Height Control, and Multi-Terrain Select, plus 33-inch all-terrain tires, locking differentials, and a reinforced platform to support and waterproof the hybrid battery. Inside, the cabin offers massaging, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a wireless phone charger, and a cool box. As we did some house-hunting, we made extensive use of the 12.3-inch touchscreen with Lexus Interface, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloud-based navigation, and head-up display.

For decades, Australia's outdoor enthusiasts—4WD'ers, campers, and hunters—have shaped and cared for the rugged landscapes they love. But as government policies tighten and access to national parks and state forests is restricted, is the Aussie outdoor lifestyle under threat?In this deep-dive conversation, Simon Christie (4WDTV) shares his firsthand insights from years in the off-road and outdoor industry. We explore: The rise of 4WD culture in Australia and why it's world-leading. How hunting and conservation intersect, and the growing challenges of managing invasive species like sambar deer. The impact of government policies—from track closures to bushfire mismanagement. Why China's booming 4WD market could reshape the global off-road industry. The political fight to keep Australia's wild places open, and why outdoor communities struggle to push back.This isn't about blind outrage—it's an honest look at the tension between preservation and access, and what's at stake for those who live and breathe the outdoors.Listen and decide for yourself: Are we protecting nature, or just locking people out?

Ford knows how to build trucks, that part isn't in doubt. But do the Europeans know how to buy them? After all this is land of the panel van for commercial use (aka 'white van man'), and we simply don't have truck culture like the U.S. or Ute culture like Australia. However that could change with the launch of Ford's new plugin hybrid truck: the Ford Ranger PHEV. Revealed at the IAA Transportation show in Hanover, Germany, the Ranger PHEV represents Ford's commitment to combining utility with providing vehicles which lower emissions. As Europe's first plug-in hybrid pickup truck, it promises to deliver the capability that Ranger enthusiasts expect, while also offering the benefits of electric propulsion. At least, until the (relatively small) battery runs out. This new model is set to join Ford's existing lineup of diesel-powered Rangers, providing customers with a broader range of options to suit various needs and local emissions regulations. Here are the headlines and highlights: ➤ 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged gasoline engine ➤ 75 kW electric motor integrated into the bellhousing ➤ 11.8 kWh (usable capacity) lithium-ion battery ➤ 10-speed automatic transmission with new Modular Hybrid Transmission ➤ Total system output: 279 PS (275 horsepower) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque ➤ Targeted electric-only range of 45 km (28 miles) WLTP ➤ Payload capacity up to 1,000 kg (2,204 lbs) ➤ Towing capacity up to 3,500 kg (7,716 lbs) ➤ e-4WD system for enhanced traction ➤ Dual-range transfer box for off-road capability ➤ Rear differential lock for improved grip ➤ Multiple drive modes: Auto EV, EV Now, EV Later, and EV Charge ➤ Pro Power Onboard system with 2.3 kW standard, optional 6.9 kW upgrade ➤ Two 15 amp outlets in the load box providing up to 3.45 kW each ➤ Latest Ford infotainment system with hybrid-specific displays ➤ Pro Trailer Backup Assist ➤ 360-degree camera ➤ FordPass app integration ➤ Ford Pro Telematics for fleet management ➤ Digital Logbook for mileage tracking ➤ Available in XLT and Wildtrak variants, plus exclusive Stormtrak launch edition
