When it comes to towing, many people immediately picture a powerful pickup truck gliding down the highway with a massive trailer behind it. However, you don’t necessarily need a full-size truck to move heavy loads. In fact, many SUVs, crossovers, and even sedans—like the Toyota Camry—are capable of hauling cargo safely, as long as you understand how to do it right. If you're in the market for a vehicle that can handle serious towing without the bulk of a traditional pickup, the Toyota Highlander XLE is an excellent choice. The 2014–2019 models boast a towing capacity that surpasses the Tacoma, which maxes out at 3,500 pounds. As the top trim level, the XLE features a V6 engine and offers an optional towing package that allows it to tow up to 5,000 pounds. For comparison, the base LE model, equipped with a four-cylinder engine, has a much lower towing capacity of just 1,500 pounds. To give you a better sense of what the Highlander XLE can handle, here are three common items that weigh up to 5,000 pounds: **1. A Speedboat** A 4WD Highlander pulling a 4,000-pound speedboat into the water is entirely feasible. If you live near a lake or ocean, this SUV can easily take your boat out for a fun day on the water—as long as it stays under the 5,000-pound limit. **2. Horses** The XLE has enough power to haul a two-horse trailer, complete with hay and riding gear. On average, each horse weighs around 1,000 pounds, and a two-horse trailer typically weighs just over a ton. So, if you’re a horse owner, the Highlander XLE is more than capable of getting you and your animals where you need to go. **3. A 25’ RV** Some 25-foot recreational vehicles have dry weights close to 5,000 pounds. For example, a 2017 Rockwood Mini-Light 2504S has a dry weight of 4,800 pounds. While not all 25-foot RVs will be exactly that heavy, it’s always wise to check your specific model’s weight before hitching it up. **What a Highlander LE Can Tow** While the LE trim isn’t built for heavy-duty towing, it still has its uses. With a 1,500-pound towing capacity, it can manage smaller loads like a teardrop trailer, a small utility trailer, a jet ski, or an ATV. If you want a bit more power, you can opt for the V6 version of the LE. **Safety Tips for Towing with Your Highlander XLE** - Always drive below 55 mph when towing. - Maintain a safe following distance—stay at least four seconds behind the car in front of you. - Avoid sudden acceleration or hard braking. - When descending hills, gently tap your brakes to prevent overheating. - Before any trip, inspect your brakes, fluids, and tires. - Check tire pressure regularly during long trips. - Keep your tires inflated to their maximum recommended pressure. - Set your trailer’s tongue weight between 10% and 15% of the total trailer weight for stability. **Essential Towing Parts for Your Highlander XLE** Start with a proper hitch (Part No. PT228-48172) to ensure safe attachment. Never tow from your bumper. A wiring harness (Part No. PT725-48140) is also crucial for lighting. Don’t forget a ball mount and safety chains to keep everything secure.
