Toyota publishes 5,000 lb for the 2026 Highlander gas models and up to 3,500 lb for every hybrid. Which one you own decides it. Payload decides the rest.
GMC publishes up to 22,390 lb for the 2026 Sierra 2500HD. That is one build with available equipment, and payload is what stops most owners first.
Jeep publishes up to 6,200 lb for the Grand Cherokee. A loaded 25-ft travel trailer can reach 6,000 lb, so the margin is thinner than it looks.
Dodge publishes up to 8,700 lb for the 2025 and 2026 Durango. Check which engine you are buying, and check payload, because the ball load is large.
Toyota publishes up to 9,520 lb for the 2025 and 2026 Sequoia. That is one grade and one drivetrain, and payload is what will actually stop you.

Toyota publishes 6,000 lb for the 2025 and 2026 4Runner. The 2024 was 5,000 lb with a 500 lb tongue limit. Payload is what actually stops you.
