The 2026 Toyota RAV4 doesn’t hold back when it comes to strength. For those who need higher towing capacity, most all-wheel-drive (AWD) models—except the LE trim—can handle up to 3,500 pounds. That’s ideal for pulling boats, utility trailers, or other recreational gear. Meanwhile, front-wheel-drive (FWD) versions and the AWD LE trim offer a respectable 1,750-pound towing limit, making them perfect for everyday hauling tasks and lighter loads.

• Maximum 3,500 lbs towing for AWD models (excluding LE)
• 1,750 lbs towing for FWD and AWD LE trim

The 2026 Toyota RAV4's towing strength is supported by its solid engineering and thoughtful features that promote safety and stability. With advanced hybrid and plug-in hybrid options delivering up to 320 horsepower, the RAV4 blends efficiency with power. The integrated towing hitch receiver allows for straightforward trailer hookup, while Trailer Sway Control works actively to help maintain control under load. When equipped with AWD, the RAV4 gains even more traction—especially valuable when towing on slick or uneven terrain.

• Powerful hybrid and PHEV options offering up to 320 horsepower
• Trailer Sway Control system improves stability while towing
• Built-in hitch receiver for secure trailer attachment
• AWD capability enhances traction and control

Storage flexibility is a major strength of the 2026 Toyota RAV4. Even with the rear seats upright, there’s generous cargo space to fit groceries, gear, or luggage. Fold the rear seats down, and the capacity expands dramatically—ideal for transporting larger items or prepping for extended travel. A flat load floor makes it easier to slide items in and out, while strategically placed storage compartments add convenience for daily use.

• Roomy cargo area with seats in place
• Expanded storage when rear seats are folded flat
• Level load floor simplifies loading and unloading
• Multiple compartments for organizing small items
