2026 Toyota Tacoma Towing Capacity

Towing capacity for every 2026 Toyota Tacoma trim, sourced from Toyota's official 2026 towing guide. Select your trim below to see exact specs.

The 2026 Tacoma is largely a carryover from 2025 on the towing specification side. The same 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder powers all trims, and maximum towing capacity remains 6,500 lbs for the SR5 and TRD PreRunner. The Limited continues at 6,300 lbs, and the manual-transmission SR stays at 3,500 lbs.

Payload and curb weight figures are not yet published for 2026. The GCWR values match 2025 exactly across all trims, which suggests the underlying platform and powertrain calibration have not changed. For buyers comparing 2025 and 2026, towing capability is functionally identical. Your decision will come down to pricing, color availability, and any interior or technology updates Toyota introduces for the model year.

Keep in mind that the TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road sit at 6,400 lbs rather than the 6,500 of the SR5, a 100 lb difference that reflects their slightly heavier off-road equipment. That gap is unlikely to matter in practice, but it is worth noting if you are towing at the edge of the Tacoma's capacity.
