The maximum towing capacity and payload for the 2013 Toyota RAV4 depend on the trim level you choose. With the LE, XLE, and Limited trims, you can tow up to 1,500 pounds and carry a payload of 900 pounds. The 2.5-liter engine delivers 172 pound-feet of torque at 4,100 rpm. If you opt for the Hybrid 2.5-liter 4Cylinder, the towing capacity goes up to 1,750 pounds, giving you extra room for when the in-laws visit. Upgrading to the all-wheel-drive Adventure or TRD Off-Road trim levels more than doubles the capacity to a maximum of 3,500 pounds.
