So You Want to Hitch Your Wagon to a Tucson Hybrid? Let's Talk Towing!
Ever looked at your Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and thought, "This little guy could definitely haul a...baby elephant? Maybe not, but definitely something!" Well, you're not wrong! But before you go strapping on a trailer bigger than your house, let's break down the nitty-gritty of what your hybrid steed can actually handle.
Gearing Up for Greatness (or at least moderate hauling)
The good news is, the Tucson Hybrid isn't afraid to get its metaphorical hands dirty. With a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when properly equipped, it can handle a surprising amount of stuff. Think: a decent-sized pop-up camper, a couple of jet skis (although, how epic would a kayak be?), or a small U-Haul for that minimalist apartment move.
Now, hold on to your horses (or trailers), there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Trailer Brakes are Your Best Friend: Exceeding 1,650 pounds? Make sure your trailer has brakes. Trust us, your brakes (and sanity) will thank you.
- Check Your Owner's Manual: Not all Tucson Hybrids are created equal. Double-check your manual for the specific towing capacity of your model.
- Don't Be a Towing Show-Off: Just because it technically fits, doesn't mean it's a good idea. Use your best judgment and prioritize safe towing over maxing out your capacity.
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
