What is the towing capacity of the Grand Highlander?

• A. 4,000lbs
• B. 6,000lbs
• C. 3,500lbs
• D. 5,000lbs

Answer: (D)

Towing capacity is the maximum weight a vehicle is designed to pull safely, based on its engine power, cooling, brakes, suspension, and the equipment installed for towing. For the Grand Highlander, the official maximum is 5,000 pounds when the vehicle is properly equipped with the factory tow package and necessary supporting hardware. That means with the right hitch, wiring, cooling systems, and other required components, you can tow up to 5,000 pounds. If you don’t have the tow package or are using a configuration that isn’t rated for towing, the available capacity can be lower. The other numbers listed are not the manufacturer’s maximum for this model, so 5,000 pounds is the correct figure.
