\n\n## Towing Capacity by Model\n\n| MODEL | CURRENT GEN MAX | PREVIOUS GEN MAX | FULL GUIDE |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Tundra | 12,000 lb (2022+ gas), 11,450 lb (2022+ hybrid, 2025 manual) | 10,500 lb (2014 to 2021, 2016 manual) | [Tundra towing](/guides/toyota-tundra-towing-capacity-by-year-trim/) |\n| Sequoia | up to 9,520 lb (2023+, Toyota specifications) | 7,400 lb (2015 to 2022 manuals) | [Sequoia towing](/guides/toyota-sequoia-towing-capacity-by-year/) |\n| Tacoma | 6,500 lb (2024+) | 6,800 lb (2016 to 2023, 2WD V6 Access Cab) | [Tacoma towing](/guides/toyota-tacoma-towing-capacity-by-year-trim/) |\n| 4Runner | 6,000 lb (2025+) | 5,000 lb (2010 to 2024) | [4Runner towing](/guides/toyota-4runner-towing-capacity-by-year/) |\n| Land Cruiser 250 | 6,000 lb (2025+) | n/a | see below |\n\n**Land Cruiser 250 (2025+).** The 2025 owner's manual states the gross trailer weight must never exceed **6,000 lb**. GCWR is 12,725 lb on the model code TJH250L-GNZUZA and 12,835 to 12,945 lb on TJH250L-GNZAZA (the exact figure depends on the passenger count and equipment). Unbraked trailers are limited to **1,650 lb**, and the manual calls for sway control above 2,000 lb and a weight-distributing hitch above 5,000 lb. For tire sizes, see our [Land Cruiser 250 and GX 550 tire guide](/guides/land-cruiser-250-gx550-tire-size-fitment-guide/).\n\n## The Rules That Apply to All of Them\n\nEvery Toyota manual we read shares the same structure, and the same four limits decide what you can tow.\n\n- **Trailer weight rating (TWR):** the maximum loaded weight of the trailer.\n- **Gross combination weight rating (GCWR):** the maximum for truck, passengers, cargo and trailer together. Weigh the loaded truck and subtract it from GCWR.\n- **Tongue weight:** **9% to 11%** of the trailer weight for a conventional hitch, and it counts against the truck's cargo capacity.\n- **Equipment thresholds:** trailer brakes above the unbraked limit (1,000 lb on Tundra, Sequoia and Tacoma 4th gen; 1,650 to 1,655 lb on the 4Runner and Land Cruiser 250), sway control above 2,000 lb, and a weight-distributing hitch above 5,000 lb on the current-generation manuals that state it.\n\n**Not covered here:** the Lexus GX and LX, the Highlander and Grand Highlander, and the older 4Runner (before 2010), Tacoma (before 2015) and Land Cruiser generations. If you want one of those added, tell us which.\n\n**Bigger tires** do not change Toyota's rating, but they raise your effective gearing and make a heavy tow harder on grades.
