How Much Can My Vehicle Tow? 2026–2027 Towing Capacity Encyclopedia for 37 Brands
LAST UPDATED: OCTOBER 18, 2026
2026–2027 VEHICLE TOWING CAPACITY ENCYCLOPEDIA
Explore 37 automotive brands and available sourced towing examples. This is a developing model-level reference, not a complete manufacturer database.
How much can a BMW X5 tow? Can a Toyota Sequoia pull a travel trailer? Does a Honda Pilot need AWD to tow 5,000 pounds? Find answers to these questions and explore U.S. vehicle towing information by brand. Towing capacity is not one number per manufacturer: it changes by vehicle, model year, engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, towing package and cargo.
Find Your Vehicle’s Towing Capacity
Choose a manufacturer, then a model and the published configuration where available. Results appear directly below. “Up to” means the maximum of a specifically equipped variant, not your vehicle’s guaranteed capacity.
Lexus 2027 GX 550 — Premium
9,063 lb — Lexus-published rating for this grade; standard tow hitch receiver.
If the dropdown does not update in your browser, use the full manufacturer tables below; those ratings are rendered as standard HTML.

These published limits apply only to the listed model year and configuration. A missing entry for any brand means that no rating has been entered into this article; it does not mean towing is prohibited.

2026–2027 Automotive Towing Capacity Comparison: Quick Reference
Only verified example configurations currently have numeric entries. Many engines, trims and axle ratios remain to be sourced; never infer a missing rating. Every listed number below is for the named vehicle configuration—not the brand’s entire lineup. “See brand section” means no towing figure has been entered for the selected vehicle; it does NOT mean the manufacturer prohibits towing. Some brands, including Genesis, have tow-rated SUVs.

Genesis Towing: GV80 and GV80 Coupe
The 2026 Genesis GV80 and GV80 Coupe have manufacturer-published maximum braked trailer ratings of 6,000 lb with specified towing equipment. Genesis also lists a 600-lb maximum tongue weight. Other Genesis vehicles have different specifications; a missing model in this article does not indicate that towing is prohibited.
Understand Your Real Towing Limit Before Choosing an SUV
The published maximum trailer weight is only one limit. Verify the vehicle manufacturer’s GVWR, GCWR, GAWR, payload, hitch rating, tongue-weight limit, trailer brake requirements and maximum trailer frontal area. Passengers, luggage and trailer tongue load can reduce real-world capacity. A stronger aftermarket hitch does not raise the vehicle manufacturer’s towing rating.
For conventional bumper-pull trailers, tongue weight is often approximately 10%–15% of loaded trailer weight, but the correct value depends on trailer design and the manufacturers’ specific limits. For example, a loaded 5,000-lb trailer at 10% creates 500 lb of tongue load, which counts toward the towing vehicle’s available payload. Never assume 10% meets every trailer manufacturer’s requirements.
Common Hitch Classes Explained
Receiver hitch classes are equipment categories, not a substitute for a vehicle’s own rating. Typical conventional hitch classes are Class I (up to 2,000 lb), Class II (up to 3,500 lb), Class III (often up to 8,000 lb), Class IV (often up to 10,000 lb) and heavier Class V variants. Always use the stamped rating on the exact hitch and follow manufacturer-specific limitations. A particular hitch can be rated below its class’s published maximum.

To find the actual rating: Match the engine, cab, wheelbase, drivetrain, axle ratio, GCWR and towing package to Ford’s official 2026 F-150 towing guide (revised March 2026). The guide says not to exceed 5,000 lb without a weight-distributing system and to check payload, tongue weight, GVWR and GAWR. Certain advertised maxima require the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle upgrade. The engine-family maximum should never be treated as an exact configuration-specific rating.
2026 Ford Expedition 4×4: up to 9,600 lb in a qualifying configuration. Ford Expedition manufacturer source.

Frequently Asked Towing Questions
How much can a BMW X5 tow?
BMW lists up to 7,200 lb for the 2026 X5 with the available factory-installed trailer hitch. Check the exact powertrain and model-year manual; do not apply it automatically to every X5 configuration.
Can a Honda Pilot tow 5,000 lb?
Honda lists up to 5,000 lb for the 2026 Pilot AWD versus 3,500 lb for 2WD. The owner manual reduces permissible trailer weight as occupancy increases.
Can I install a hitch at U-Haul or another aftermarket shop?
Potentially, if the vehicle is approved for towing, the specific hitch is compatible and properly rated, and any required factory towing preparation and associated equipment are present. Some advertised maxima specifically require manufacturer packages or particular equipment.
Is dry trailer weight the same as loaded trailer weight?
No. Dry weight excludes some cargo and supplies. Use actual loaded weight and check the trailer’s GVWR, all tow-vehicle ratings, and equipment limitations.
Are electric vehicles rated to tow trailers?
Some are, but ratings and required equipment vary greatly. Confirm the exact EV configuration and factor in reduced driving range when towing. Do not assume an electric vehicle is tow-capable solely because an aftermarket receiver is available.
