What's the Hyundai Tuscon’s towing capacity?

My daughter is heading off to college this upcoming fall, and we’re considering purchasing a Hyundai Tuscon to help move her into her dorm. We’ve got a long drive ahead, and a lot of cargo to pack, so the towing capacity is a concern. How much can the Tuscon tow?

First of all, best of luck to your daughter (and you)! With a towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds, the Tuscon is a great choice for your big move and beyond.
Luckily, all of the available configuration options for your Tuscon are capable of reaching that 2,000-pound threshold. To obtain that power, you’ll need to equip the vehicle with trailer brakes. Without the addition of trailer brakes, the towing capacity is reduced to 1,650 pounds.
No matter where your road trip takes you, you can rely on the Tuscon for smooth handling and impressive performance. To make the most of what the Tuscon can offer, consider adding these features to your purchase:
  • An 8-speed automatic transmission for seamless gear changes
  • An Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control (TCS) for smooth maneuvers
  • A Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system to keep alert and in your lane
It’s not always easy to strike a balance between robust power and smooth handling, but the Tuscon hits the nail on the head. With 187 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque, you can secure your daughter’s future dorm room behind you for a long,
safe
ride.
