Vehicle Towing Capacity

Site Sponsor

There are many factors to consider when purchasing a tow vehicle: price, features, safety ratings, fuel economy, reliability, environmental friendliness, etc. But, the first thing you should ask is, “Can it meet my towing needs?” How many cars will you be towing? What kind of trailer will you be using? How many extra tools and supplies will you be bringing? Will you be towing up hills and/or at altitude? Do you want to maintain decent acceleration with a trailer in tow? Obviously, these types of questions need to be answered in order to initially narrow down your search.

This does not pretend to be a full auto-buying resource that gives you all the info you need to buy the perfect truck. But, I figure a sortable list of potential vehicles with their towing capacities and power ratings should be useful. The following towing capacity numbers have been pulled from published manufacturer specs (US Market only). These numbers assume a properly equipped ball/hitch tow setup (e.g. brake assisted trailer, if required, proper cooling devices, tow-package gearing, etc). If any of the numbers here are in question, feel free to let us know. But ultimately, please refer to the vehicle manufacturer specs or your dealer. When collecting this data, factory engine/gearing packages along with automatic transmissions (when available) were chosen. The maximum published tow rating was logged. Some manufacturers may offer additional options to increase capacity. Also, many trucks allow for fifth-wheel towing, further increasing capabilities.
Use the following filters to refine the list:
