Best SUVs for Towing

Car and Driver‘s ratings and rankings are arrived at from the results of our extensive instrumented testing of several hundred vehicles each year and from our expert editors’ subjective impressions gained in real-world driving. Our vehicle ratings are based on roughly 200 data points encompassing acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, value, and how enjoyable they are to drive. This list includes every SUV that can tow 8000 pounds or more, and the models are listed in order of highest to lowest maximum towing capacity.
