What Toyota has 3500 towing capacity?

Several Toyota vehicles can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, most notably the RAV4 compact SUV and the Sienna minivan. These capacities are tied to specific tow packages or configurations and can vary by year, trim, and drivetrain.


Towing ratings depend on factors such as engine choice, drivetrain (front- vs. all-wheel drive), transmission, and the availability of a factory tow package. Always verify the exact specification for your particular model year and trim with Toyota or your dealer before towing.


Models that reach 3,500 pounds with the right equipment


Below are Toyota vehicles that can achieve a 3,500-pound towing limit when properly equipped. The figures apply to current-generation models and may differ by year or trim if there have been changes to the tow package or drivetrain options.



  • Toyota RAV4 — Up to 3,500 pounds with the official Tow Package on most non-hybrid and hybrid configurations, depending on the year and drivetrain.

  • Toyota Sienna — Up to 3,500 pounds when equipped with the available Tow Package; this applies to recent generation models designed for family hauling and light-to-moderate towing.


In practice, the 3,500-pound rating is a ceiling that requires the proper equipment and adherence to Toyota’s towing guidelines. If your trailer, caravan, or boat approaches that weight, confirm the exact number for your specific vehicle configuration.


Summary


For a Toyota vehicle with a 3,500-pound towing capacity, consider the RAV4 with the Tow Package or the Sienna with its Tow Package. Always check the precise towing specification for your model year, trim, and drivetrain before pulling any trailer, and consult the dealer for the recommended towing setup. Larger towing needs are met by other Toyota models with higher ratings.
