The 7 Best SUVs for Towing 2020

7Porsche Cayenne

The Porsche models are known for their high performance, and the Cayenne is no different. As such, we are not amazed at the thrilling performance of this tow SUV. While the towing capacity is a feature to write home about, the vehicle also has a large space than what a sports car will provide.

This model comes with different engines, ranging from 33-horsepower V6 to 541-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8. However, even if you go for the lowest horsepower, the least towing capacity of 7,716 is still not a deal-breaker.

6Land Rover Discovery

If what you need from an SUV is more than towing capacity, but also a family-oriented vehicle, this is one of the best SUVs to consider. The Land Rover Discovery does not only have enough space, but the seats are stadium-style arranged. With this, you can have your family of up to seven with you in the vehicle.

The Discovery model usually comes with a diesel engine, which makes it one of the strongest and reliable SUVs on the market. This also gives it an edge over other SUVs in the aspect of towing capacity, as this model has an amazing towing capacity of 8,201.

However, this model has experienced a $2,000 price increase – aftermath of its impressive 443 pound-feet of torque and 254 horsepower.

5Cadillac Escalade

The Cadillac Escalade is appearing on this list thanks to many of its great features that are rear to find on the market. With 420 horsepower, the vehicle is able to tow up to 8,300 pounds and is backed with a 6.2-liter V8 engine. However, you can only get this with the rear-wheel-drive option, as the four-wheel-drive option comes with a towing capacity of only 8,100 pounds, which is also not a bad deal.

The Cadillac Escalade is a full-size luxury SUV engineered and manufactured by General Motors. The word "escalade" refers to a siege warfare tactic of scaling defensive walls or ramparts with the aid of ladders or siege towers.

4Nissan Armada

The Nissan Armanda is a rugged and reliable large SUV. It's a solid entry on our list of the best SUV for towing.

The V8 engine makes 390 horsepower with a torque of 394 pound-feet. It delivers a maximum towing capacity of 8500 pounds regardless of whether you go with AWD. A Class IV trailer hitch is included. This vehicle can also occupy up to eight passengers with three rows.

3Dodge Durango

The Dodge Durango is one of the best SUVs for towing. The brain behind this is the sheer force provided by the powerful SRT trim, which equips the vehicle with a towing capacity of 8,700 pounds. The Dodge Durango is also able to dispense 475 horsepower through a 6.4-liter V8 engine.

Other impressive features about the Durango are its high-performance suspension, which is one of the best in the industry, and an ungraded Brembo brakes.

2Lincoln Navigator

Every towing vehicle needs a powerful engine to provide its towing capacity. While most SUVs feature a large-displacement V8 power engine, the Lincoln Navigator stands out, as it is equipped with a V6 engine coupled with turbocharging, which enables it to deliver the same performance with a V8 engine.

While the previous version of the Lincoln Navigator can only tow 8,300 pounds, the 2020 version, equipped with a twin-turbo V6, can tow up to 8,700 pounds.

1Ford Expedition

Though the Ford Expedition shares the same 3.5-liter V6 powerplant with the Navigator, it offers excellent performance. This is also a great choice for those looking for an SUV with a large space. The vehicle does not only feature a large space but with great interior. With this, it is convenient to drive with a good number of passengers.

There is also an option to select between the front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive. However, since the Expedition has an impressive towing capacity of 9,300-pounds, you will need to choose the rear-wheel-drive to function effectively.

While this towing vehicle is not the most expensive on the market.  It has several great features that are hardly found in expensive SUVs. These features include an integrated trailer brake controller, heavy-duty radiator, and 3.73-gearing – costing only $1,570.

This SUV is also equipped with the Pro Trailer Backup Assist. With this, the driver can position the trailer where it should be just by utilizing the dial and camera in the dash.
