2026 Toyota RAV4 Towing Capacity by Trim
Towing capacity on the 2026 RAV4 Hybrid varies depending on the trim you choose, so it's worth knowing the numbers before you buy:
| Trim |
Towing Capacity |
| LE |
794 kg (1,750 lbs) |
| XLE |
1,588 kg (3,500 lbs) |
| Woodland |
1,588 kg (3,500 lbs) |
| XSE |
1,588 kg (3,500 lbs) |
| Limited |
1,588 kg (3,500 lbs) |
The LE trim can tow up to 794 kilograms (1,750 pounds), which is the real-life equivalent of a small trailer or lightweight gear. Step up to the XLE or higher, and that capacity jumps to 1,588 kilograms (3,500 pounds), opening the door to towing things like small boats, snowmobile trailers, or other recreational equipment.
For most drivers, that higher rating makes a real difference, giving the RAV4 Hybrid the flexibility to handle both everyday driving and weekend getaways.
The Off-Road Ready 2026 RAV4 Woodland Trim
If towing is high on your list, the RAV4 Woodland is worth a closer look. It’s the only trim that comes ready to tow from the factory, with a built-in hitch and 4-pin wiring harness, so there’s no need for extra add-ons or dealer installs.
The Woodland is made for more rugged use, with 216 millimetres of ground clearance (higher than other trims), 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, and added touches like raised roof rails with crossbars and upgraded LED fog lights. It also includes practical extras like a power moonroof and durable all-season floor and cargo mats.
If your plans include towing gear to trails, launching a boat at a more remote spot, or hauling a snowmobile up north, the Woodland stands out as the most purpose-built RAV4 in the lineup.
