I spent several years driving a full-size truck with a double-stack trailer loaded with rescue boats in tow, navigating major highways across the United States and congested city streets that forced a white-knuckled grip.

When it comes to towing capacity, today’s trucks and SUVs truly run the gamut. On one end of the spectrum, you have crossover SUVS, which—due to their unibody construction—tend to max out at around 3,000 lbs. Large and midsize SUVs can up that figure to almost 9,000 lbs.
