When it comes to towing, many people immediately picture a powerful pickup truck gliding down the highway with a massive trailer behind it. But the truth is, you don’t need a full-size truck to move heavy loads. Whether you drive an SUV, crossover, or even a sedan like the Toyota Camry, you can safely and easily tow small to medium-sized cargo around town — as long as you have the right knowledge and equipment. If you're in the market for a serious towing vehicle but aren't a fan of traditional trucks, the Toyota Highlander XLE is an excellent alternative. The 2014–2019 models boast a towing capacity that actually exceeds that of the Toyota Tacoma, which maxes out at 3,500 pounds. As the top trim level of the Highlander, the XLE is equipped with a V6 engine and offers an optional towing package, allowing it to tow up to 5,000 pounds. For comparison, the base LE model, which comes 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 XLE can handle, here are three common items that weigh up to 5,000 pounds: **1. A Speedboat** A 4WD Highlander XLE can easily pull a 4,000-pound speedboat onto a trailer and take it to the water. If you live near a lake or ocean, this makes for a perfect weekend getaway without needing a dedicated truck. **2. Horses** The XLE’s power is more than enough to haul a two-horse trailer loaded with your favorite equines, along 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 — well within the XLE’s capabilities. **3. A 25-Foot RV** Some 25-foot recreational vehicles come in just under 5,000 pounds when empty. For example, a 2017 Rockwood Mini-Light 2504S has a dry weight of 4,800 pounds. However, not all 25-foot RVs are the same, so always check the weight before hitching up. **What a Highlander LE Can Tow** While the LE model isn’t built for heavy-duty hauling, it can still manage smaller loads with its 1,500-pound towing capacity. If you opt for the V6 engine, you’ll get a bit more pulling power. Here are some things you can tow with the four-cylinder version: - A teardrop trailer - A small utility trailer - A jet ski - An ATV **Safety Tips for Towing with Your Highlander XLE** Towing requires extra caution and preparation. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind: - Keep your speed below 55 mph at all times. - Maintain a four-second following distance. - Avoid sudden acceleration or hard braking. - When descending hills, use gentle brake taps to prevent overheating. - Always inspect your brakes, fluids, and tires before starting your trip. - Check tire pressure regularly during long trips. - Ensure your tires are 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** To make towing safe and efficient, you'll need the right accessories. Start with a hitch (Part No. PT228-48172), which attaches the trailer to your vehicle’s frame — never tow from the bumper. A wiring harness (Part No. PT725-48140) is also crucial for proper lighting on your trailer. Don’t forget a ball mount and safety chains for added security. We’re always impressed by how capable the Highlander XLE is when it comes to towing. If you’ve ever seen one in action, we’d love to hear about it — share your experience with us on Facebook! *Always refer to your owner’s manual for exact towing specifications before heading out.
