2026 Toyota Highlander

One configuration per trim, named under each heading, with its numbers as Toyota prints them. “Up to” is a ceiling printed over several configurations (the notes say whose), “from” the lowest figure, and a range is printed across that configuration’s grades. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label.

MakerSource: 2020 Highlander Product Information

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration. “Tire placard” is the occupants and cargo the tire and loading placard allows, which some makers print instead of, or next to, max payload; it is not the same number.

The documents

Every number on this page comes from one of these 24 documents. Last checked Oct 9, 2026.

Only the maker’s own documents: press kits, spec sheets, towing guides and owner’s manuals. How we source the numbers.
