Drivers across the country recognize the 2021 Toyota Highlander for its exceptional capability and ability to handle heavy loads without breaking a sweat, but how about the Toyota Highlander Hybrid towing capacity? Youā€™d be forgiven for assuming such an efficiency-focused vehicle isnā€™t able to compete when it comes to capability, but the Hybrid towing capacity actually comes in strong.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid Performance

The Highlander Hybridā€™s next-generation powertrain means Pooler drivers no longer need to decide between power and efficiency. It combines a 2.5L 24-Valve D-4S Injection Atkinson Cycle engine with three permanent magnet synchronous motors to deliver:

  • Up to 243 combined horsepower
  • Up to 174 lb-ft of torque

That power is refined through an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT) with sequential shift mode to deliver:

  • Up to an EPA-estimated 35 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid Towing

Every 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid comes with a Electronic On-Demand AWD system standard to ensure precision performance whether youā€™re cruising on the highway heading into Bluffton or tackling unpaved roads. Having AWD standard also means youā€™ll enjoy:

  • Up to 3,500 lbs. of towing.

A 3,500-pound towing capacity will handle the majority of towing needs for the average Bluffton driver. If you do need a slightly higher tow rating, you can always look to the standard Toyota Highlander for up to 5,000 lbs. of towing.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid Capacity

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid doesnā€™t often need to rely on towing strength thanks to its exceptionally spacious cabin. As well as the ability to take up to 8 occupants, it provides:

  • Up to 16.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 3rd row.
  • Up to 48.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 2nd row.
  • Up to 84.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 1st row.

Whether you need to haul a trailer across Hilton Head or load in everything from DIY supplies to luggage for a family vacation, the Highlander Hybrid can oblige.
