2024 Toyota Highlander Towing a Boat

How much can the Toyota Highlander tow? This three-row SUV is versatile and strong—exactly what you need when you want to hitch up your boat or RV and head out of Akron. Find out the 2024 Toyota Highlander towing capacity and what’s behind it with Toyota of North Canton. 

How Much Can a Toyota Highlander Tow?

Canton drivers who wonder how much a Toyota Highlander can tow will be thrilled to see the 5,000-pound Toyota Highlander towing capacity. That’s enough to handle a gooseneck trailer, a fully loaded 12-by-6-foot U-Haul trailer, a 20-foot toy hauler, a four-horse trailer, or a camper that’s up to 30 feet long. 

2024 Toyota Highlander Engine Specs

The 2024 Toyota Highlander and the 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid have the same towing capacity despite having different powertrains. While some drivers think a hybrid powertrain can affect the amount of power in an SUV, that’s not the case with the Toyota Highlander. While the gasoline-powered Highlander does generate slightly more horsepower, they still come up even when it comes to towing ability. Compare their engine specs with us:
