High towing capacities aren't limited to pickup trucks. Sure, most large trucks can tow more when equipped with gooseneck trailer hitches that increase their maximum capabilities, but when it comes to standard hitches, some full-size SUVs can meet them on a level playing field. Many full-size SUVs are built on the same frames as pickup trucks from the same brand - for example, see the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck and the Suburban SUV.That said, there are a wide range of SUVs ranging from the most basic people-movers to premium luxury models and even electric SUVs that can tow a lot of weight. In this list, we'll go over ten SUVs that can tow 7,000 lbs or more. Please note that these aren't necessarily the ten SUVs with the highest/best towing capacities, since we wanted some variety.All specifications are sourced directly from the manufacturers. Always follow the manufacturer's safe towing protocols, and never tow more than your vehicle is rated for. Pricing is correct at the time of writing, and excludes destination, options, taxes, and other fees. Automakers reserve the right to change prices at any time without warning. 2026 Rivian R1S Maximum Towing Capacity: 7,700 pounds 2026 Rivian R1SIn the spirit of diversity, we wanted to highlight an all-electric SUV that can pull over 7,000 pounds. The Rivian R1S is not the best EV for towing, but it's certainly impressive with a maximum capacity of 7,700 pounds. There are currently four trims to choose from; the two basic models get dual-motor setups that make 533 hp and 665 hp, respectively. The tri-motor model makes 850 horsepower, and the Quad trim has four electric motors that make 1,025 hp. No matter which trim you end up with, all R1S variants are limited to 7,700 pounds of towing capacity. 2026 Lexus LX Maximum Towing Capacity: 8,000 pounds 2026 Lexus LX F Sport HandlingFor a hybrid SUV that can tow 7,000 lbs, or more, take a look at the Lexus LX. This is one of the brand's most luxurious models, hence its starting price of over six figures. It has more than enough comfort features in every trim. Nevertheless, it's a body-on-frame SUV with some rugged off-road capability, as well as a relatively high towing capacity. Buyers can choose either a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6, or a hybrid version of the same engine - both result in the same maximum towing capacity of 8,000 pounds. All trims also come with standard full-time four-wheel drive that connects to the powertrain via a 10-speed automatic transmission. 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe Maximum Towing Capacity: 8,400 pounds 2025 - 2026 Chevrolet TahoeThe Chevrolet SUV with the best towing capacity for 2026 is the Tahoe, which can pull 200 pounds more than the Suburban due to its slightly lower curb weight. To reach its 8,400-pound limit, buyers must choose the 5.3-liter V8 that comes standard on some trims, keep rear-wheel drive (opting for four-wheel drive lowers its towing capacity to 8,200 pounds), and equip the Max Trailering package. Other engine options include a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-six and a 6.2-liter V8 that makes more power, but the automaker explains how the 6.2L has a lower towing capacity. 2026 Infiniti QX80 Maximum Towing Capacity: 8,500 pounds 2026 Infiniti QX80Another luxury SUV that can tow more than 7,000 pounds is the Infiniti QX80. This model is built on the same platform and shares a powertrain with the Nissan Armada, which we'll talk about next. However, it's tuned for more power (25 horsepower more than most of the Armada's trims), and it comes with far more luxury features. As Infiniti's flagship SUV, it's bound to be impressive - standard features include a 14-speaker audio system, heated first and second-row seats, tri-zone temperature control, and more. On that note, it doesn't even need any optional packages to reach its maximum towing capacity. All trims can tow up to 8,500 pounds as standard. 2026 Nissan Armada Maximum Towing Capacity: 8,500 pounds 2026 Nissan Armada NismoSUVs with 7,000-lb towing capacity continue with the Nissan Armada. Pictured above is the Nismo variant that comes with sportier upgrades for track driving, but all trims get the same 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. There are no special requirements or packages needed to reach the Armada's maximum towing capacity of 8,500 pounds. Any trim is capable of towing the same weight limit. The model is available in both rear- and four-wheel-drive configurations, and there's even an off-road Pro-4X trim level for the most adventurous families. 2026 Lincoln Navigator Maximum Towing Capacity: 8,700 pounds 2025 Lincoln Navigator LThe Lincoln Navigator is one of the more luxurious SUVs that tow 7,000 lbs, or more. Under the hood is a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that makes plenty of power in every trim level. It reaches its maximum towing capacity of 8,700 pounds by choosing the optional Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package for another $750. This package also adds a trailer brake controller, and includes the 'Slow Climb' drive mode that helps to avoid overheating when ascending a steep grade. So, not only is it a "spa on wheels," it can also tow as much as some pickup trucks while keeping its occupants so comfortable. The only downside is its price, since the cheapest trim, the Premiere, starts at $91,995 before options and destination. 2026 Lexus GX Maximum Towing Capacity: 9,096 pounds 2025 Lexus GX Overtrail+Lexus offers a great balance between rugged off-road capability and high-end luxury with the GX. This body-on-frame SUV is more than capable on and off the pavement with standard four-wheel drive in every trim, a limited-slip center differential, and every trim can tow over 9,000 pounds. For the best possible towing capacity, buyers should choose the 550 Overtrail trim level; the next-best trims are the 550 Overtrail+ and the base model that can both tow up to 9,063 pounds. Regardless of which version you choose, though, every Lexus GX comes with a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 that makes 349 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. No additional options or packages are required to reach its maximum towing capacity. 2026 Toyota Sequoia Maximum Towing Capacity: 9,500 pounds 2025 Toyota SequoiaFor a somewhat more affordable option than the Lexus and other luxury models that we've gone over today, try the Toyota Sequoia. This is a great family SUV that can seat up to eight people and the higher trim levels come with plenty of comfort features for every row. On the more expensive side, there's also the off-road-capable TRD Pro variant with upgraded suspension and other options that aren't available on other trims. However, to reach the Sequoia's maximum towing capacity of 9,500 pounds, buyers should stick to the base SR5 trim with no additional options or packages that might add weight. 2026 Ford Expedition Maximum Towing Capacity: 9,600 pounds 2025 Ford Expedition TremorWhen we list trucks with the highest towing capacities, Ford's Super Duty lineup is always at the top. Even its standard F-150 has a respectable weight limit. That said, the Ford Expedition that shares a frame with the F-150 has one of the highest towing capacities of any SUV this year, at 9,600 pounds. Powering this SUV is a 3.5 twin-turbo V6 that makes 400–440 hp and 480–510 lb-ft of torque, depending on the trim level. To reach its maximum towing capacity, though, buyers can opt for any trim as long as it has a standard wheelbase and four-wheel drive. 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Maximum Towing Capacity: 10,000 pounds 2025 Jeep Grand WagoneerThe SUV with the highest towing capacity is technically the GMC Hummer EV, but for the sake of choosing a model that will actually be used instead of acting as a statement piece, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer makes it onto our list. Under the hood is Stellantis' Hurricane inline-six that makes 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. While the Grand Wagoneer is available in six trim levels, the only model that's rated for 10,000 pounds of towing capacity is the Upland trim, which starts at $73,060. This trim only comes in four-wheel drive and is not available as the 'L' extended version.Sources: Rivian, Lexus, Chevrolet, Infiniti, Nissan, Lincoln, Toyota, Ford, Jeep
