Tow Ratings Towing capacity for every US vehicle, 1991 to today

2011 Toyota Sequoia towing capacity

The 2011 Toyota Sequoia is published in 11 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 6,600 to 7,400 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (7,400 lb) sits in mid-size SUV / pickup territory.

The table below lists every trim of the 2011 Toyota Sequoia with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.

How this year compares to 2010

The 2010 Toyota Sequoia carried a maximum tow rating of 10,000 lb. The 2011 model is rated 2,600 lb lower — sometimes a real spec change, sometimes a re-test under a stricter standard like SAE J2807. See the 2010 Toyota Sequoia page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
