When it comes to Toyota SUVs and trucks and their towing capacities, specific numbers are important, especially if you have to tow equipment, a boat or a trailer. Read on below to find out more.
Towing Capacities for 2024 Toyota SUVs
Firstly, it is important to remember that there are several different SUV categories. In fact, SUVs are increasingly popular on the market, and you will find the following categories:
- Subcompact SUVs
- Compact SUVs
- Midsize SUVs
- Full-Size SUVs
Toyota has a wide range of models, including vehicles that fit into each one of these categories. Given that every category translates into SUVs of different sizes, the towing capacity for these Toyota vehicles might also vary from one model to another.
Nevertheless, you will be surprised to know that the subcompact SUV Toyota Corolla Cross, which has been cruising our streets since 2022, has a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds. This is quite sufficient if you have small towing needs.
As for the Toyota RAV4, the base trim offers a towing capacity that is identical to the Toyota Corolla Cross. However, should you opt for the Trail trim, towing capacity then climbs up to 3,500 lbs, while it reaches 2,500 lbs for the Prime trim (plug-in hybrid).
When it comes to the Toyota 4Runner, Highlander and Grand Highlander SUVs, they offer a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds.
Finally, the large Toyota Sequoia SUV, which has been cruising our streets for 23 years, offers an even more significant towing capacity that reaches up to 9,120 pounds.
Let’s review all of the towing capacities for these Japanese made Toyota SUVs in a summary table below:

Towing Capacity for 2024 Toyota Trucks
Toyota trucks either belong to the midsize truck category, or the full-size truck category. The towing capacity for Toyota trucks will also vary according to the category. One thing is for sure: the brands’ trucks are reliable, rugged and durable.
The Toyota Tacoma, redesigned for the 2024 model-year, is a midsize truck that has a 6,500- pound towing capacity (2,948 kg).
As for the Toyota Tundra full-size truck, towing capacity reaches up to 11,200 lbs (5,080 kg) for all trims, except for the SR trim where it reaches 8,300 lbs (3,765 kg).
If you are looking for a hybrid truck model, then the Tundra is made for you, and it offers a towing capacity of up to 11,175 pounds (5,069 kg).
Let’s review all of this data in the following summary table:
| Toyota Trucks | Towing Capacity |
