Towing capacity for the 2026 Toyota 4Runner depends on which powertrain is equipped. Models with the standard i FORCE 2.4 liter turbocharged engine offer a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, making them a great choice for small campers, utility trailers, or lightweight boats.

If you choose the available i FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, towing capability increases to up to 6,000 pounds. This gives the hybrid 4Runner an advantage for drivers who want to tow heavier loads while also benefiting from higher torque and improved overall efficiency.

• Up to 5,000 pounds with i FORCE turbo engine
• Up to 6,000 pounds with i FORCE MAX hybrid
• Body on frame construction for durability
• Designed for recreational and utility towing

The 2026 Toyota 4Runner supports towing with modern turbocharged power and a strong drivetrain setup. The standard i FORCE 2.4 liter turbo engine produces 278 horsepower and 317 lb ft of torque, delivering solid mid range pulling strength for towing and highway driving. For even more low end muscle, the available i FORCE MAX hybrid produces a combined 326 horsepower and up to 465 lb ft of torque, which helps provide confident power when towing larger loads.

An eight speed automatic transmission contributes to smooth power delivery and controlled shifting, especially when hauling. Available four wheel drive and traction management systems also help improve stability and control when towing in changing weather or road conditions.
