These Plug-In Hybrids Can Tow The Most

Interested in buying a plug-in hybrid, but you need to be able to tow a camper or a boat? You are in luck because there are several PHEVs out there that can tow 3,500 pounds or more. And if you need to haul an even bigger load, you'll be okay there, too, as long as you pick one of the PHEVs from this list that can tow 5,000 pounds or more.

Believe it or not, some PHEVs can tow 6,000 pounds or more, and one of them is the hugely popular Jeep Grand Cherokee, which in PHEV form is known as the Grand Cherokee 4Xe. There's even one on this list that tows nearly 8,000 pounds, but it's expensive.

The ultimate plug-in tow vehicle may well be the upcoming Ram 1500 Ramcharger, but that won't hit the market until early next yea. We don't know its price yet, but we do know that it will have 141 miles of electric-only range, a total range of 690 miles, can tow up to 14,000 pounds, and has a best-in-class maximum payload capacity of 2,625 lbs. It boasts 663 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque, enabling a zero to 60 miles per hour sprint in 4.4 seconds.

Let's get right down to it. Here are the PHEVs with the highest tow ratings, listed in ascending order.
