With the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, you can tow up to 8,200 lbs. This is with the gasoline engine. The Cadillac Escalade 600D can tow up to 8,000 lbs, so that’s only a 200 lb difference.
We hope the 2022 Ram 2500 gets a new Allison Transmission, but we’ll have to wait and see. What we do know is that the Ram 2500 is getting attractive new looks.
When properly equipped, the 2022 Ford Maverick can tow up to 4,000 lbs. But it requires a few add ons to reach its maximum towing capacity. The Maverick starts at about $20,000. You will need the $745 Tow Package.
The 2022 Subaru Ascent is an excellent option for families. It is the largest Subaru model that can seat up to seven or eight passengers. Plus, each model comes with standard all-wheel drive and X-Mode with Hill Descent Control.
The 2021 Kia Sorento Hybrid emerged as a totally redesigned three-row SUV that includes an enhanced fuel economy. Its closest rival is the 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, which also serves as an excellent three-row option for families.
The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is powered by the same 3.5-liter V6 engine from the previous generation. It still pumps out the same 284 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque as the older model and can tow up to 6,000 lbs.
The 2022 Chevy Kodiak could return as a unique special edition that draws on its past as the perfect utility truck to haul massive loads and get work done. The first Chevy Kodiak made its debut in 1980 as a medium-duty truck.
The 2022 Hyundai Tucson currently ranks ahead of the 2021 Honda CR-V because it has an excellent ride, spacious and upscale interior, user-friendly infotainment system, and a long list of standard driver assistant features.

The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is incredibly capable. Finally, an SUV with three-row can genuinely rival the Toyota 4Runner. With the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, you can toggle a switch between Auto, Rock, Sport, Snow, or Mud/Sand for the proper off-roading settings.
The 2022 GMC Hummer EV should have enough power to move its weight. The three-motor Edition 1 model is expected to provide 1,000 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. Keep in mind that the torque figure is measured at the wheels after torque multipliers, but it could still work out to about 1,000 lb-ft of motor torque.

he 2022 Chevy Blazer might be getting a little more expensive as it drops its standard base engine. The 2022 model will no longer be available with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that provides 193 hp and 188 lb-ft of torque.
The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 targets a 300-mile range while being capable of 800-volt charging. It should be able to charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 18 minutes with the use of a 350-kW charger.
