Tray or Hidden Box? Choosing Storage for a 2025 Toyota 4Runner

A parking pass you use every morning and a spare cable you use twice a month deserve different places in the console. How often you reach for an item is a good way to choose between these two inserts.

For frequent use, choose the tray

The Armrest Box option groups small items near the top of the console. Before ordering, think about what already lives underneath. If you frequently lift a large item from the lower bin, make sure the tray will be easy to remove.

For occasional use, consider the hidden box

The Hidden Box option gives small items a less visible home. Check its pictured position and the space the armrest needs to close. A covered compartment still needs clearance when loaded, and it offers no locking mechanism.

Check the generation before you buy

The tray and hidden box options are listed for the left-hand-drive 2025 sixth-generation 4Runner. The 2010–2024 console has a different design. Compare the photos for your selected option with the console rim, lid and any insert you already use. Each option is sold separately.

Test it empty while parked. Open and close the armrest, then add your everyday items one at a time. If the lid closes only under pressure, rearrange the contents or remove the insert.
