Tow Capacity for a 2013 Toyota Sequoia
Hi all. I am in the market for my first trailer (after years of wanting one)! I'm trying to understand what kind I will reasonably tow with my 2013 Toyota Sequoia (2 adults, 3 small kids). I am...

Very limited info to offer, but for my 2012 Sequoia:
- Have on occasion towed my 23' boat with the Sequoia when the truck was down
- weight (boat, trailer, everything on it) is about 6200 #'s)
- Usual load in the Sequoia is 2 adults, 2 kids, minimal gear
- Pulls fine, but of course, no wind resistance to speak of
- Stops OK; Sequoia not wired for trailer brakes, so that needs to be factored in
- Uphill pulling is OK, but nothing to write home about
- Downhill stopping is OK, but not comfortable (see comment above about trailer brakes)
- My Sequoia is setup for a cushy ride on "P" tires....when towing the boat, it's soft, squishy, and wags quite a bit.
I'd go with the lightest choice on your list. The Sequoia will pull "above it's weight", but it's not the best for stopping and general handling if a heavy trailer is behind it.
