Updated October 9, 2026 · Horne Nissan & Horne Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Globe, AZ

If you're searching for the best SUVs for towing in Globe, AZ, to haul your camper to Roosevelt Lake or a utility trailer across Gila County, you've come to the right place. At Horne Nissan and Horne Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we offer a variety of SUVs designed to meet your towing needs. From robust V6 engines to efficient turbo-fours, we can help you find the right vehicle with the towing capacity you require.

Understanding Towing Capacity

When it comes to towing, the capacity of an SUV is crucial. This figure indicates the maximum weight the vehicle can safely pull. It's determined by various factors, including the engine, transmission, chassis, and specific towing equipment. Always confirm the exact towing rating for any specific configuration with us, as it can vary. We're here to help you understand the nuances and ensure you choose an SUV that can handle your load safely and efficiently.

Engine Options: V6, V8, and Turbo-Four

The engine is the heart of an SUV's towing capability. You'll find a range of options, each with distinct characteristics:

  • V6 Engines: These are a popular choice, offering a balance of power and fuel efficiency. Many V6 SUVs provide ample towing capacity for small to medium-sized campers, boats, and utility trailers. The New 2026 Nissan Pathfinder SV, for example, features a 3.5L V-6 engine with 284 hp, and the Used 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited comes with a 3.6L V-6 with 293 hp. The Used 2024 Dodge Durango GT Plus also boasts a 3.6L V-6 with 295 hp.
  • V8 Engines: While less common in newer SUVs, V8 engines are known for their significant power and torque, making them ideal for heavier towing tasks. If you're looking to tow larger boats or travel trailers, a V8-equipped SUV might be what you need. While we don't currently have V8 SUVs explicitly listed in our inventory data, we often have various options available. Contact us to inquire about V8 models.
  • Turbo-Four Engines: Modern turbo-four engines are increasingly capable, offering surprising power and torque for their size, often with better fuel economy. The New 2026 Jeep Wrangler Sport S and America 250 models feature a 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine with 270 hp. The New 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited also comes with a 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder, delivering 324 hp, and the New 2026 Nissan Murano SL has a 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 241 hp. These can be excellent choices for lighter towing needs and everyday driving efficiency.

The Advantage of 4WD and Hitch Packages

For towing, especially in diverse terrain or challenging conditions, 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) is a significant advantage. It provides enhanced traction and control, which is essential when pulling a trailer. Many of our SUVs, such as the New 2026 Jeep Wrangler Sport S and America 250, the Used 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited, and the New 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, come equipped with Four Wheel Drive.

Hitch packages are also critical. These often include a receiver hitch, wiring harness for trailer lights, and sometimes an upgraded cooling system or braking components. Having a factory-installed or dealer-installed hitch package ensures that your SUV is properly equipped and ready for towing. We can discuss available hitch packages and installation options when you visit us.
