How Much Can A Toyota Tacoma Tow?

The 2026 Tacoma provides dependable strength across its entire lineup. Your maximum capacity depends on whether you choose the high-efficiency turbo-four or the high-torque hybrid. For drivers in Mansfield and Delaware, knowing your specific trim’s capability is key to a safe haul. Here’s a breakdown of the maximum towing capacities by configuration:

• SR5 / TRD PreRunner (i-FORCE Gas): 6,500 pounds
• TRD Sport / TRD Off-Road (i-FORCE Gas): 6,400 pounds
• Limited (i-FORCE Gas): 6,300 pounds
• i-FORCE MAX Hybrid (TRD Pro, Trailhunter, Limited): 6,000 pounds
• Base SR (Double Cab): 3,500 – 6,400 pounds (depending on transmission)

Towing capacity is influenced by your cab style (XtraCab vs. Double Cab) and drivetrain. If you are considering a pre-owned model, be sure to check our used Toyota reliability FAQ to see how older Tacoma generations compare.
