While the 2016 Toyota RAV4 isn't exactly made for towing, You can still pull three quarters of a ton, with the vehicle's 1,500 pound towing capacity. The general rule for maximum tongue weight iS-10% of this figure -- in this case, 150 pounds. While this won't exactly move mountains, You'll still be able to pull moSTSmall trailers or campers. The '16 RAV4's 2.5L 4Cylinder engine makes just 172 lb-ft of torque, which is fairly generous for A4Cylinder vehicle (yet nothing to write home about). However, the 1,005 to 1,070 pound payload capacity (depending on configuration) is above average for a compact SUV, so You'll be able to cRam in a fair amount of equipment or people into the vehicle.
