At a Glance: 2026 Toyota Electrified Towing Ratings

Heavy Haulers: Trucks and Full-Size SUVs

Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX

The 2026 Tundra i-FORCE MAX is the heavy hitter of Toyota's electrified lineup. Its hybrid powertrain pairs a 3.4 L twin-turbo V6 with a motor-generator to deliver 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, with 500 lb-ft available from a standing start. Mated to a 10-speed automatic with two TOW/HAUL modes, the Tundra i-FORCE MAX is rated to pull up to 11,170 lbs (5,067 kg) when properly equipped.

Toyota Sequoia Hybrid

Every 2026 Sequoia is hybrid-only, powered by Toyota's i-FORCE MAX system: a 3.5 L twin-turbo V6 paired with high-torque electric motors and a 10-speed automatic. Total system output reaches 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. Towing maxes out at 9,121 lbs (4,137 kg) on the SR5 TRD Off Road grade, with Limited (9,019 lbs / 4,091 kg), Platinum (9,010 lbs / 4,087 kg), and Capstone (8,979 lbs / 4,073 kg) close behind.

Three-Row Family Haulers

Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum Hybrid MAX

The top-trim Grand Highlander Platinum uses Toyota's Hybrid MAX system: a 2.4 L turbocharged engine paired with a six-speed automatic and electric motors for 362 system horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Its towing rating reaches 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg) — useful capability for boats, trailers, or larger toy haulers.

Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid (XLE and Limited)

The Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE and Limited grades use Toyota's Hybrid System: a 2.5 L four-cylinder engine with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. Combined output is 243 horsepower, and both grades carry a 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg) towing rating.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid

Available in three grades, the 2026 Highlander Hybrid pairs a 2.5 L four-cylinder with two electric motor-generators and an eCVT for 243 system horsepower. All Highlander Hybrid models include an electronic on-demand AWD system that uses a separate rear-mounted electric motor to power the back axle on demand. Towing is rated at 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg) across the lineup.

Compact SUVs That Tow

The compact segment is where most Canadian shoppers spend their time, and Toyota has three towing-capable electrified options here.

• The 2026 RAV4 Hybrid is rated to tow 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg) on the XLE, Woodland, XSE, and Limited grades. All RAV4 HEV models come with standard all-wheel drive in Canada and use Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system producing 236 combined horsepower.
• The 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid matches that 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg) rating on the SE and XSE grades. The plug-in version uses a more powerful 324-horsepower system net hybrid powertrain with up to 80 km of all-electric driving range on a manufacturer-estimated rating.
• The 2026 bZ Woodland is Toyota's first towing-rated battery electric SUV, with a 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg) rating and standard all-wheel drive. Its dual-motor AWD system delivers 375 combined system horsepower.

Crossovers and Cars With Light Towing

Toyota Crown Signia

The 2026 Crown Signia uses a 2.5 L four-cylinder hybrid system with electronic on-demand all-wheel drive, delivering 240 net system horsepower. It carries a towing rating of 2,700 lbs (1,225 kg) — enough for small utility trailers, jet skis, or a pair of motorbikes.

Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid

At the lighter end of the towing scale, the Corolla Cross Hybrid uses Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system with a 2.0 L four-cylinder and standard electronic on-demand AWD for 196 net system horsepower. Towing is rated at 1,499 lbs (680 kg) — practical for a small utility trailer, a bike rack, or a small pop-up camper.

Which Hybrid or Electric Toyota Tows Enough for You?

The right Toyota depends on what's behind the hitch. Here's a quick way to narrow it down:

• Under 1,500 lbs (small utility trailers, bike racks): Corolla Cross Hybrid covers this with ease.
• Up to 3,500 lbs (small boats, popup campers, single-axle utility trailers): RAV4 Hybrid (select grades), RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid SE/XSE, Highlander Hybrid, Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE/Limited, or bZ Woodland.
• Up to 5,000 lbs (medium travel trailers, double-axle utility trailers): Grand Highlander Platinum Hybrid MAX.
• Up to 6,000 lbs (mid-size travel trailers, large boats): 4Runner Hybrid.
• Beyond 9,000 lbs (large travel trailers, fifth wheels, equipment trailers): Sequoia Hybrid or Tundra i-FORCE MAX.

Always confirm trailer weight, hitch class, and any required accessories before towing. Toyota Canada's owner's manual lays out the full requirements for each model.
