Which Toyota Models Can Tow the Most?

If you’ve been searching for a vehicle to handle heavy loads at work, to bring gear with you on your next adventure, or to pack more essentials than the cabin can fit, you need a vehicle with a high towing capacity. There are plenty of new Toyota vehicles that can handle some hauling, but there are a few that stand above the rest. That’s why we’ve compiled a quick list of Toyotas with the best towing capacity to help you decide.

Dive into this Toyota towing capacity comparison to learn which Toyota models you should consider when looking for your next vehicle.

#3: 2025 Toyota Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma is able to haul up to 6,500 pounds. This is possible in part by the Tacoma’s available turbo i-FORCE 2.4L engine, worth 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. You’ll also want to choose the XtraCab with a 6’ bed and rear-wheel drive to hit that 6,500 benchmark.

With RWD, the Toyota Tacoma fuel economy clocks in at 21 MPG city and 26 MPG highway. Other features include a rugged interior, available heated and ventilated front seats, an available head-up display, and a standard 8” infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Be sure to ask about the towing package to make sure your new Tacoma is properly equipped.

#2: 2025 Toyota Sequoia

Moving on from pickup trucks for a moment, let’s look at the best Toyota SUV towing capacity: The 2025 Toyota Sequoia. The Sequoia is rated for a max towing capacity of 9,520 pounds when properly equipped. All trims come standard with the same engine, which is an i-FORCE MAX twin turbo 3.4L, V-6 worth 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. While the Sequoia has available all-wheel drive, it’s best to choose rear-wheel drive for better towing capability. With RWD, you’ll also get slightly better fuel mileage compared to AWD. The Sequoia is rated for 21 city and 24 highway.

The Toyota Sequoia, aside from being incredibly powerful, has an incredible amount of space in the cabin. It seats up to eight passengers, very comfortably, with 41.2” of legroom in the front row, 39.2” in the second row, and 33.7” in the third row. With all rows folded, you’ll have a max cargo of 86.9 cubic feet. Additional comfort features include an available panoramic sunroof, optional leather seating, and a standard 8” infotainment system (only on the entry-level trim, otherwise it’s a 14” model).

#1: 2025 Toyota Tundra

Now we come to the best Toyota truck for towing, the 2025 Toyota Tundra. The Tundra has the highest Toyota towing capacity at 12,000 lbs. You’ll want to opt for the more powerful twin-turbo 3.4L, V-6 engine, worth 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. You should also opt for the Double cab, the 6.5’ bed, and rear-wheel drive to hit the 12,000-lbs. towing maximum. Despite all of this power, the Toyota Tundra’s mpg amounts to 20 city and 24 highway.

The interior is spacious while still looking and feeling like the powerhouse it is. The standard infotainment system is 8”, but moving up the trims nets you the available 14” version, but both come standard with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. For added comfort, available massaging front seats, ambient lighting, and a premium JBL, 12-speaker audio system are options.
