What is the best SUV for towing a car?
That depends on the weight of the car you’re towing. A midsize sedan typically weighs around 3,300 pounds, so any of the SUVs listed above would get the job done. Even midsize SUVs like the Kia Telluride weigh around 4,400 pounds and could be handily towed by SUVs ranging from the Mercedes-Benz GLE to the Dodge Durango.
Can any SUV tow 10,000 pounds?
The Jeep Wagoneer, when properly equipped, can tow up to 10,000 pounds. That’s more than its more expensive and luxurious sibling, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The Grand Wagoneer is no slouch, towing up to 9,850 pounds when properly equipped.
What SUVs have a 5,000-pound towing capacity?
Some midsize SUVs like the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade and Honda Passport can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
What can tow 4,000 pounds?
The Honda Pilot can tow a maximum of anywhere between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds depending on how it’s equipped, but it’s on the larger side of the SUV scale. If you want to tow with something a little smaller, you could go for the Jeep Cherokee or Land Rover Discovery Sport. Both vehicles can tow more than 4,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Edmunds says
You don’t need a full-size pickup truck to tow your gear. There are plenty of SUVs that combine practicality with comfort and convenience.
