Best SUVs for Towing – Full-Size Models

Here’s a list of the best full-size SUVs for towing along our Salt Lake City roads. They are all capable of towing north of 8,000 pounds and they each have their own distinctive personalities.

Ford Expedition

Which SUV has the best towing capacity? The Ford Expedition has the highest towing capacity of any SUV on our list, with recent models capable of towing well over 9,000 pounds. It can also comfortably seat 8 passengers, meaning you can take your whole family and the boat to the lake this weekend.

Nissan Armada

The Nissan Armada is an SUV with the attitude of a rugged pickup truck, because it’s built on the same frame as the Nissan Titan. The recent models of this SUV can tow upwards of 8,500 pounds, easily placing it on our list of best SUVs for towing.

Dodge Durango

The Dodge Durango usually comes packed with features that are sure to make any Draper road trip more fun, while providing plenty of room for your passengers. More than that, late models can tow in the ballpark of 8,700 pounds.
