Cali Raised LED Winch Tray for 2025+ Toyota 4Runner — Heavy-Duty Recovery Foundation
The 6th Generation Toyota 4Runner is a technological leap forward, but serious trail work requires serious recovery options. The Cali Raised LED Winch Tray is the essential backbone for adding a winch to your 2025+ 4Runner. Engineered specifically for the 6th Gen chassis, this tray is not a universal mount—it is a precision-fit structural component designed to work in perfect harmony with the Cali Raised LED 2025+ Stealth Front Bumper. By mounting the winch securely to the frame, it ensures that recovery forces are distributed evenly, preventing damage to the vehicle’s body or subframe during heavy pulls.
Proudly made in the USA, this winch tray is CAD-designed and laser-cut from high-strength American steel. Because the 2025 4Runner features a more complex front-end cooling and sensor array, this tray is built to maximize the limited space behind the factory fascia. It allows you to maintain a low-profile, “stealth” look while packing the recovery power of a 12,000 lb winch behind the bumper.
Structural Integrity & Recovery Performance
A winch is only as strong as what it is attached to. Cali Raised LED utilizes heavy-duty 1/4″ and 3/16″ steel construction to ensure zero flex under load. The tray integrates directly with the vehicle’s frame horns, providing a rock-solid mounting point that far exceeds the strength of the factory bumper cross-member. This is a critical requirement for anyone planning to navigate technical rock gardens or deep mud, where self-recovery is a high-probability event.
Stealth Integration & Tech Preservation
One of the biggest challenges with the new 2025 4Runner is the integration of Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) and various parking sensors. This winch tray is engineered to sit low and tight, ensuring it does not interfere with the radar sensors or front-facing cameras. When paired with the Cali Raised LED Stealth Bumper, the winch remains largely hidden, preserving the sleek, modern aesthetics of the 6th Gen 4Runner while providing full access to the winch clutch and fairlead.
Straightforward Bolt-On Setup
Despite the complexity of the new 4Runner platform, Cali Raised LED has maintained a 100% bolt-on installation for this winch tray. It utilizes existing factory mounting holes on the 6th Gen frame, meaning there is no welding or drilling required. While it is designed specifically for the Cali Raised LED Stealth Bumper system, its precision fit ensures that all cooling lines and safety sensors remain unobstructed and fully functional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this with my factory 2025 4Runner bumper?
No. This winch tray is specifically engineered to integrate with the Cali Raised LED Stealth Front Bumper system. It is not designed to be a standalone hidden winch mount for the factory bumper.
What size winch will fit?
The tray is designed to accommodate most standard footprint winches ranging from 8,000 lbs to 12,000 lbs. For the cleanest fit, we recommend winches with a remote-mountable solenoid box (like the Warn VR EVO or Superwinch SX series).
Will this affect my adaptive cruise control?
No. Cali Raised LED has CAD-tested this tray to ensure that the winch and tray placement sit below the radar sensor line, allowing all Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) features to function normally.
