When it comes to towing, many people immediately picture a powerful pickup truck cruising down the highway with a massive trailer behind it. But the truth is, you don’t need a full-size truck to haul heavy loads. Whether you drive an SUV, crossover, or even a sedan like the Toyota Camry, you can easily and safely tow 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 prefer not to own a traditional pickup, the Toyota Highlander XLE is an excellent alternative. The 2014–2019 models of the Highlander XLE boast a towing capacity that surpasses that of the Tacoma, which maxes out at 3,500 pounds. As the top trim level of the Highlander, the XLE features a strong V6 engine and offers an optional towing package, allowing it to pull up to 5,000 pounds. In contrast, the base LE trim, 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 launch a 4,000-pound speedboat into the water. If you live near a lake or ocean, this makes the XLE a great choice for weekend getaways. Just make sure your boat weighs under 5,000 pounds—most do.
**2. Horses**
The XLE has enough power to tow a two-horse trailer, complete with hay and riding gear. An average horse weighs about 1,000 pounds, and a two-horse trailer typically weighs just over a ton. So, if you're a horse lover, the XLE can handle your needs without breaking a sweat.
**3. A 25-Foot RV**
Some 25-foot recreational vehicles (RVs) weigh just under 5,000 pounds when empty. For example, the 2017 Rockwood Mini-Light 2504S has a dry weight of 4,800 pounds. While not all 25-foot RVs are the same, the XLE’s towing capacity makes it a solid option for lighter models.
**What a Highlander LE Can Tow**
While the base LE trim has a lower towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, it's still capable of hauling smaller items. With a V6 engine, it can handle a bit more weight. Here are some common things you can tow with the LE model:
- A teardrop trailer
- A small utility trailer
- A jet ski
- An ATV
**Safety Tips for Towing with Your Highlander XLE**
Towing requires extra care and attention. Here are some key tips to keep in mind:
- Always drive below 55 mph.
- Keep at least a four-second following distance.
- Avoid sudden acceleration.
- When going downhill, use gentle braking to prevent overheating.
- Inspect your brakes, fluids, and tires before each trip.
- Check tire pressure every time you stop on long trips.
- Maintain maximum recommended tire 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**
Before hitting the road, make sure you have the right parts:
- A hitch (Part No. PT228-48172) – never tow from your bumper.
- A wiring harness (Part No. PT725-48140) – for proper trailer lighting.
- A ball mount and safety chains – essential for secure towing.
