Towing ratings can swing wildly from one vehicle to the next, and the spread here runs from a small unibody pickup to a heavy-duty Ford. Each entry below pairs a model with the maximum figure cited by its source and a note on what that number means in practice. Together they map the range, and all ten sit between 5,000 and 40,000 pounds.
1. Ford F-450 Super Duty: Ceiling Of The List
At 40,000 lbs of maximum towing capacity, the Ford F-450 Super Duty posts the highest figure on the iSeeCars truck towing page. That single number is why the headline names a Super Duty as the heaviest hauler in the group.
The figure is a maximum, and it applies to the configuration the source names rather than to every F-450 on a dealer lot. Anyone planning a load near that ceiling should confirm the exact cab, axle and hitch setup against the manufacturer’s own tow charts before buying a trailer. As a ceiling, it frames everything else on this list.
2. GMC Canyon: Midsize With Muscle
Rated at 7,700 lbs maximum, the GMC Canyon earns a spot through what the iSeeCars truck rankings describe as strong towing for a midsize pickup. It sits well above the bottom of the list while staying far from the heavy-duty extremes.
For buyers who want a smaller truck but still pull a boat or camper, that rating is the selling point. As with any maximum, the number reflects the best-case setup the source cites, so the specific trim and equipment matter. The Canyon fills the middle rung between compact haulers and full-size workhorses.
3. Hyundai Santa Cruz: Small Pickup, Real Limit
With a 5,000 lbs maximum towing capacity, the Hyundai Santa Cruz anchors the low end of the iSeeCars towing data. The source frames that number as the limit of the small unibody pickup class.
That makes the Santa Cruz the entry point for this gallery rather than a heavy hauler. Light trailers, small boats and utility loads fall inside that figure, while bigger campers clearly do not. Owners who expect to tow near the limit should weigh the trailer and cargo carefully, since the rating is a ceiling and not a target.
4. Jeep Grand Wagoneer: Wagoneer At The Top
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer carries a 10,000 lbs maximum towing capacity, the top figure among the large SUVs in the iSeeCars large SUV ranking. That makes it the benchmark for the class.
That result gives shoppers in the full-size SUV class a clear leader to compare against rivals. The usual caution applies, since a maximum rating describes the configuration the source cites and not necessarily every Grand Wagoneer built. Checking the trim and towing package remains the sensible step before hitching anything near that weight.
5. Chevrolet Suburban: Suburban’s Mid-Pack Spot
A maximum towing capacity of 8,200 lbs puts the Chevrolet Suburban ninth among the twelve large SUVs on the iSeeCars large SUV list. That is a respectable number that still lands below the middle of the pack.
The placement shows how crowded the big-SUV class is, where a figure above eight thousand pounds does not guarantee a high finish. Buyers cross-shopping the Suburban against the Grand Wagoneer can see the gap in plain numbers. The rating still covers many family trailers, provided the equipment matches the source’s configuration.
6. Toyota Land Cruiser: Reputation Versus Rating
The Toyota Land Cruiser is rated for 8,100 lbs of maximum towing, a figure the iSeeCars towing page places below several domestic rivals despite the model’s reputation. The number is solid but not class-leading.
That gap is a useful reminder that toughness and towing rating are different measures. Shoppers drawn to the Land Cruiser for other reasons can still plan on a capable tow vehicle, while those chasing the highest rating will find larger numbers elsewhere in the large SUV class. Checking the exact configuration remains wise.
7. Lexus GX 550: Luxury Midsize Leader
At 9,096 lbs, the Lexus GX 550 holds the highest rating of any luxury midsize SUV on the iSeeCars SUV towing page. The figure is a few hundred pounds shy of the 10,000 lbs large SUV leader.
For buyers who want a premium badge without moving up to a full-size body, the number is the headline benefit. As always, the rating applies to the configuration the source names, so the specific GX 550 setup should be confirmed before towing anything heavy. It stands as the strongest tow figure in its luxury midsize group.
8. Dodge Durango: Mainstream Crossover Champ
The Dodge Durango is credited with 8,700 lbs of towing, the top mainstream crossover SUV figure on the iSeeCars towing list. The source treats that number as the benchmark for mainstream crossovers.
Families shopping this segment can read that as a practical advantage when a boat or camper is on the wish list. The Durango does not claim the whole chart, but within its class it sets the standard. As with the other entries, the maximum reflects the source’s stated configuration and not each version sold.
9. Cadillac Escalade: Luxury Large SUV
The Cadillac Escalade has a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 lbs, which places it fifth among the luxury large SUVs ranked by iSeeCars SUV towing data. That is a solid result in a class built around comfort first.
The ranking shows that a high price and an upscale cabin do not automatically bring the largest tow figure. Owners who pair the Escalade with a mid-sized trailer have room to work within the stated rating. Anyone nearing the limit should verify the equipment listed by the source before committing to a particular trailer.
10. Porsche Cayenne: Sport Utility Surprise
The Porsche Cayenne is rated at 7,716 lbs, a figure the iSeeCars SUV towing page notes is more than most three-row family SUVs can manage. The number is modest next to the heavy hitters, yet the source treats it as strong.
That makes the Cayenne an unexpected entry in a gallery full of workhorses. Buyers who want sport credentials and occasional trailer duty can find the capacity useful, with the usual caveat that the maximum applies to the configuration the source cites and not to every Cayenne built.
