SUVs that can tow 5,000 lbs

71 SUVs on file have at least one configuration rated to tow 5,000 lbs or more. The highest is the 2026 GMC HUMMER EV SUV at 10,300 lbs. For 61 of them every published configuration clears 5,000 lbs. For the rest it depends on the engine, axle or towing package.

A rating of 5,000 lbs means the trailer and everything loaded in it. Passengers and cargo in the vehicle come off what you can tow, so a vehicle rated at exactly 5,000 lbs has no room to spare. Open the vehicle's page and find the row for your own build.
