2026 Toyota 4Runner Towing Capacity
Towing capacity for every 2026 Toyota 4Runner trim, sourced from Toyota's official 2026 towing guide. Select your trim below to see exact specs.
The 2026 4Runner expands on the sixth-generation platform with a wider trim lineup. Where the 2025 launched with four trims, the 2026 adds the TRD Sport and introduces rear-wheel-drive options for the SR5, TRD Sport, and Limited. That brings the total to seven configurations, giving buyers more flexibility than the initial 2025 launch provided.
Towing capacity remains 6,000 lbs across every trim and drivetrain, consistent with the 2025. The addition of RWD versions is notable because rear-wheel drive typically means lower curb weight without the 4WD hardware, which should translate to slightly higher payload (those figures are not yet published). If you do not need four-wheel drive and want to maximize your towing margin, the 2WD models are worth considering.
Payload and curb weight are not yet available from Toyota for the 2026 model year. The GCWR figures vary slightly by configuration, ranging from 10,970 lbs (SR5 2WD) to 11,485 lbs (Limited 4WD), which reflects different curb weight estimates across the expanded lineup. We will update this page as Toyota publishes the full specifications.
