What is the 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid’s Towing Capacity?

So my in-laws are nagging me to tow their 20-foot jet boat up to the lake with my Highlander Hybrid, but I told them it just can’t handle that kind of weight—so, what **is** the 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid towing capacity?

Ah…the in-laws. We here at Jerry do love some good, old-fashioned intra-family squabbles, but we have to level with you here—your Toyota Highlander Hybrid can indeed tow your in-laws’ jet boat (along with a few inflatable rafts) with its towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
In fact, with this capacity, you’re 2020 Highlander Hybrid can tow some other pretty big items, including:
  • A-frame camper trailer
  • Pop-up camper
  • Small boat
  • Personal watercraft trailer
Of course, if you didn’t care about fuel economy, the Highlander’s gas-powered version can tow up to 5,000 pounds, which means you could pull your in-laws’ medium enclosed trailer, their medium flatbed trailer, or a medium boat trailer—but lucky for you, your Hybrid Highlander can’t tow those kinds of bigger items.
The Highlander Hybrid also sports a payload capacity of 1,595 pounds, meaning you’ll easily be able to load all your in-laws’ luggage into your Highlander because they’ll be staying up at the lake for the entire summer—oh, did they not tell you?
Whoever’s big loads you need to tow up to the lake (or anywhere else) with your Highlander Hybrid, make sure that SUV is protected with a robust and affordable
