Hyundai Tucson: Trailer Towing / If You Decide to Pull a Trailer
- Consider using a sway control. You can ask a trailer hitch dealer about sway control.
- Hyundai recommends that you do not tow with your vehicle for the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) to allow the engine to properly break in.
- Do not exceed 65 mph (104 km/h) or the posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower, when towing a trailer. Note that towing speed limits differ by state. Always be aware of the posted towing speed limit.
- Trailer instability is more likely to occur when descending steep or long downhill grades. Pay close attention and slow your vehicle speed when descending a long downhill grade. Allow more time and distance for braking and do not brake suddenly. Downshift the transmission to a lower gear to reduce your vehicle speed and also to help prevent brakes from overheating.
- Carefully observe the weight and load limits provided in the following pages.
Towing load limits
