Summer is right around the corner, which means boating, camping, and more fun activities. But most of these require towing something – whether it’s an RV or a trailer full of your equipment. Don’t worry! Markquart Toyota has plenty of vehicles with various towing packages to meet your needs.

Trucks

The Toyota Tundra can tow up to 10,500 pounds when equipped with the 5.7L V8 engine. Also with the 5.7L V8 comes Tow/Haul Mode that prevents Tundra from shifting in search for the right gear when towing. This also aids with throttle response, pulling power, and engine braking making towing some of your biggest cargo a breeze.

The Toyota Tacoma is just what you need to tow your 4-wheeler trailer, as its 3.5l V6 engine and available Tow Package allow this truck to tow up to 6800 pounds. Included in Tacoma’s Tow Package and standard on Tundra is Trailer-Sway Control, which applies brake pressure to individual wheels and manages engine torque to help control the trailer.

SUVs & Crossovers

The powerful Toyota Sequoia is equipped to tow up to 7,400 lbs. So, you can load up the whole family and whatever toys you need for the weekend, whether it’s your pontoon or your jet skis. This SUV also offers Trailer-Sway Control and Tow/Haul mode to make the most out of your engine’s power.

The Toyota 4Runner is best for off-roading, but also allows you to tow up to 5,000 pounds. Similarly, the Toyota Highlander can tow up to 5,000 pounds and has your family’s comfort in mind – making it the perfect crossover to tow your small equipment.

Finally, some people need to tow their small equipment, but don’t need the space of a Highlander. That’s why the RAV4 offers up to 1,500 pounds of towing capacity – perfect for a small trailer with whatever you need for the day.
