What are you towing?

The first step is to determine what you plan on hauling behind your Toyota RAV4. The standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine can tow up to 1500 pounds. This engine is perfect for towing canoes, kayaks, and building materials.

Upgrade to the hybrid powertrain for towing capacity up to 1750 pounds.

If you need to haul a small boat or other equipment, then consider the Toyota RAV4 Adventure, which tows up to 2900 pounds.

Get the right equipment for towing in your Toyota RAV4.

First things first, you’ll need a trailer hitch. Next up comes wiring and adapters for lighting for your trailer. Save yourself time by upgrading to the 2018 Toyota RAV4 Adventure trim, which is complete with a Tow Prep Package.

The package includes an upgraded radiator and transmission fluid coolers, along with an engine oil cooler.

Go above and beyond by adding the Dynamic Torque Control AWD, and you can haul up to 3500 pounds!
