The base hybrid version of the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander provides a 3,500-pound towing limit, perfect for modest loads such as utility trailers or small watercraft. For those requiring more muscle, upgrading to a non-hybrid or Hybrid Max model increases towing strength to 5,000 pounds, expanding your capability for larger hauls. Regardless of configuration, pairing the right drivetrain and towing package ensures safe and consistent performance on the road.

• Standard hybrid version: 3,500 lb towing
• Upgraded/Hybrid Max models: 5,000 lb towing
• Consistent front or all-wheel drive options
• Proper equipment required for full rating
• Useful range for family trailers or weekend gear

The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander integrates several engineering elements that make towing smoother and more secure. A trailer sway control system helps stabilize movement by applying selective braking and adjusting torque as needed. Trims with higher tow ratings often include enhanced cooling systems—such as reinforced radiators and oil coolers—to manage increased heat from heavy loads.

The intelligent AWD system ensures optimal power delivery to maintain traction, while towing-optimized transmission gearing provides the torque necessary for steep inclines or highway acceleration. Combined with a factory-installed hitch receiver, pre-wired harness, and brake controller readiness, the Grand Highlander is well-equipped to handle towing with confidence.

• Trailer sway control
• Enhanced cooling (radiator / oil cooler)
• Intelligent drive torque distribution / AWD
• Transmission geared for towing conditions
• Factory hitch receiver & wiring provisions
• Brake controller compatibility
