What is the 2020 Toyota Highlander cargo and towing capacity?

Have you seen the newly redesigned 2020 Toyota Highlander? It’s gotten a fresh overhaul complete with a new look and plenty of standard and available features. We know that part of the reason drivers enjoy crossovers and SUVs is due to their ability to haul a great deal of items, so these specifications are worth taking a look at. What is the 2020 Toyota Highlander cargo and towing capacity? Let’s dig deeper into the numbers. 

The new 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime is another great crossover SUV option!

Cargo Volume

Like its predecessors, the 2020 Toyota Highlander model has three rows of passenger seats. The cargo volume behind the third row is 16 cubic feet, so even with a full passenger load, you’ll be able to carry plenty of items along for the ride. If you fold the third-row seats down, you will drastically increase the amount of cargo space behind the second row to 48.4 cubic feet. Finally, if you only need to use the front-row seats, perhaps on moving day, you can fold both the third-row seats and second-row seats down and open the Highlander up to 84.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity.

Towing

When you equip the 2020 Toyota Highlander with the mighty 3.5-liter V6 engine that doles out 295 horsepower and when you get the optional towing package, you can tow up to a maximum of 5,000 pounds. Even the hybrid model can tow plenty of weight behind it, with its maximum towing capacity topping out at 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. 

Between the cargo capacity and the towing capacity, the 2020 Toyota Highlander gives you plenty of options for what you need to carry on your daily errands as well as those family vacations you’ve been planning.
