What is the towing cap on the 2024 Toyota Sequoia?
The maximum towing capacity is 9,000 pounds when properly equipped.
For the 2024 Sequoia, Toyota outfits the SUV with a modern i-Force MAX hybrid V6 and a factory Tow Package that together enable heavy-haul capability. The 9,000-pound ceiling is achievable only when the vehicle is configured with the Tow Package and the four-wheel-drive system, and when it carries the appropriate hitching and braking setup. Actual towing limits can vary by trim and options, so always confirm your specific build’s rating on the window sticker and in the owner's manual.
Towing capacity at a glance
Here are the key factors that determine whether the Sequoia can reach its 9,000-pound maximum in real-world use.
- Tow package and accompanying towing equipment
- Drivetrain configuration (4WD vs. 2WD)
- Integrated trailer brake controller and hitch setup
- Vehicle payload and tongue weight capacity
- Trailer type and trailer braking on the towed unit
In practice, the official 9,000-pound rating applies to properly equipped configurations. Always verify the exact figure for your specific build and follow the towing guidelines in the owner’s manual.
What this means for buyers
For shoppers, the Sequoia’s 9,000-pound ceiling makes it competitive among full-size SUVs for tow duties such as larger campers or heavy utility trailers. However, that rating depends on having the Tow Package, 4WD, and a suitable braking setup. If you don’t plan to tow near the maximum, you may encounter lower ratings based on your chosen trim and options. Always factor in payload, tongue weight, and cooling needs when planning long, heavy tow sessions.
Summary
The 2024 Toyota Sequoia can tow up to 9,000 pounds when equipped with the Tow Package and 4WD, along with the necessary trailer braking and hitching hardware. Real-world towing will vary by configuration, so verify your specific build’s rating and adhere to the owner’s manual guidelines for safe towing.
