Edmunds, a prominent automotive resource, has unveiled its selection of the top SUVs for towing, recognizing vehicles for the 2026 model year that excel in towing capacity, handling, braking, and integrated technology.

The annual list aims to guide consumers looking for SUVs capable of safely and effectively towing trailers, boats, or other recreational equipment. Edmunds’ evaluation criteria focus on a combination of raw towing power and the vehicle’s overall stability and driver-assistance features that contribute to a secure towing experience.

For the small SUV category, the 2026 Toyota RAV4 was recognized. This model is a repeat honoree, noted for its ability to balance everyday usability with capable towing for its class.

In the midsize, three-row SUV segment, the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder earned a spot on the list. This vehicle is highlighted for its robust towing capabilities suitable for larger families who also need to haul significant loads.

When it comes to full-size SUVs, the 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer was selected. This option provides substantial towing capacity, catering to those who require maximum power for demanding towing tasks.

The luxury SUV category features the 2026 Lincoln Navigator. This model is acknowledged for delivering premium comfort and features alongside its strong towing performance.

Furthermore, Edmunds identified the 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ as a leading choice for electric SUVs designed for towing. This inclusion marks a significant step in recognizing the growing capabilities of electric vehicles in the towing space.

The selection process by Edmunds typically involves rigorous testing and analysis by their team of experts, assessing factors such as trailer sway control, braking performance under load, and the availability of advanced towing aids.
