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.
