The 2017 Toyota RAV4 can tow up to 1,500 pounds, which is the weight it can pull behind it on a trailer. It has a torque of 172 lb-ft @ 176 hp, indicating the turning power of the vehicle. The payload ranges from 1,005 to 1,070 lbs, which is the weight it can carry inside including the cargo area or truck bed. Additionally, it has a tongue weight of 150 lbs, which is the downward force on the hitch by the trailer tongue. To ensure safety while towing, it's important to conduct pre-drive safety checks such as inspecting the tires, brake lights, and ensuring the trailer is properly secured.
