Toyota Highlander vs. Grand Highlander vs. Sequoia

Compare Toyota SUVs: Performance & Towing Capacity

When comparing the Toyota Grand Highlander vs. Highlander and Grand Highlander vs. Sequoia, we see that the body-on-frame Toyota Sequoia towing capacity dominates the other Toyota SUV models for your road trips beyond Leander. That’s not to say that the unibody Grand Highlander vs. Highlander towing capacity isn’t impressive. These two SUVs can still tow your moderate-size toys and trailers.

The Toyota Sequoia towing capacity is made possible in part by its body-on-frame construction and its powerful 3.4L i-FORCE MAX Twin-Turbo V6 Hybrid engine. Compare Toyota SUVs and their performance and towing capacity below:
