Most midsize SUVs tow between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. The Highlander can tow up to 5,000 lbs, while the Ford Explorer can handle 5,600 lbs. We'll show you the exact capacity for every model.
Towing capacity is the maximum weight you can pull (trailer + load). Payload is the weight you can carry in the vehicle (passengers + cargo). Both matter – we'll help you find vehicles that meet your requirements for both.
For trailers over 3,500 lbs, a brake controller is recommended. Many SUVs and trucks come with integrated controllers or can be fitted aftermarket. We'll note which vehicles have this feature.
