What you need to tow with a 2026 Toyota Sequoia

The 2026 Toyota Sequoia is rated from 8,980 to 9,500 lb depending on drivetrain — a 6% spread. Find your configuration below, then size the hitch to the trailer you are towing, not to the truck's maximum.
A single towing number for this truck would be a lie. 9,500 lb applies to one exact configuration when properly equipped. Same badge, different drivetrain, and the real figure can be thousands of pounds lower. That is why every row below carries its configuration.

Common questions

How much can a 2026 Toyota Sequoia tow?

Between 8,980 and 9,500 lb depending on the exact configuration — that is a 6% spread, so a single headline number is misleading. The 9,500 lb figure requires one specific combination of drivetrain. Look up your own configuration in the table on this page.

What hitch do I need for a 2026 Toyota Sequoia?

Size the hitch to the trailer, not the truck. For a trailer up to 9,500 lb you need Class 4 hardware with a 2 in receiver, plus a weight-distributing hitch with sway control. The truck's rating is a ceiling you must stay under, not the thing you buy for.

Why is there no payload number on this page?

Because payload is specific to your individual vehicle, not to the model. It is printed on the certification label in your driver's door jamb. Published sources disagree with manufacturers in both directions on payload, so stating one per model would be wrong for most trucks. Your tongue weight counts against payload, which is why it matters.
