Hyundai Tucson Towing a boat

Not only is the 2024 Hyundai Tucson an impressively edgy and modern styled SUV brimming with the latest technology, but the Tucson also offers owners some impressive towing capabilities for a compact SUV. The Hyundai Tucson towing capacity helps ensure you can handle your hauling needs with ease.

The maximum Hyundai Tucson towing capacity with trailer brakes across all Tucson trims is 2,000 pounds and 1,650 pounds without trailer brakes.

2024 Hyundai Tucson Payload Capacity

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson lineup offers a generous payload capacity of 1,283 pounds.

Hyundai Tucson Towing Features

To make towing a trailer easier and safer, the first thing that owners will require is a tow hitch.

Buyers of the SE, SEL, and Limited trims can purchase a tow hitch engineered and custom-built to fit their Hyundai as an accessory, while the off-road ready XRT trim is fitted as standard with a tow hitch.

As mentioned, the Hyundai Tucson towing capacity is 1,650 pounds; however, to get the most out of your Hyundai's towing capacity, a trailer brake system should be added to allow towing up to 2,000 pounds.

Some key features that make towing in the 2024 Tucson easier and safer include: 

  • 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC®: Smooth driving with no jerky gear changes ensures that your towed trailer remains stable. 
  • Electronic Stability Control with Traction Control and Brake Assist: In the event of emergency braking or accident avoidance maneuvers, the Tucson's ESC will quickly apply the necessary braking forces to ensure that you remain in control of your vehicle and trailer. 
  • Vehicle Stability Management: Onboard software systems monitor and detect changes in the friction coefficient between the left and right wheels. When a loss of traction occurs, the system intervenes and assists the driver in staying in control. 
  • Lane Keeping Assist: This feature helps you stay within your lane should you get distracted and start to wander into another lane. A high-tech sensor in the windshield scans the road ahead, constantly monitoring the lane markers both left and right of the vehicle and intervening with steering inputs to prevent you from moving from your lane unintentionally. 
  • Lane Following Assist: The Lane Following Assist feature adjusts the steering wheel automatically to keep the vehicle centered in the lane. 
  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection: Towing a trailer requires more attention from the driver, and this feature detects a potential collision with a pedestrian in front of the vehicle and alerts the driver of their presence. 
  • Driver Attention Warning: This advanced system monitors drivers' eye and head movements for any signs of drowsiness or distraction. When any possible danger is detected, the feature alerts drivers to take action. 
  • Idle Stop & Go: The Idle Stop & Go feature reduces fuel consumption by automatically stopping and restarting the engine, which is particularly helpful in heavy traffic conditions. 
  • Optional HTRAC All-Wheel-Drive: Towing a trailer along loose gravel roads is made easier with HTRAC all-wheel drive, especially when there are inclines involved and additional traction is needed.
