Understanding Your Towing Capacity
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The maximum operating weight of your vehicle as specified by the manufacturer, including the vehicle itself, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight.
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
The maximum allowable weight of your fully loaded vehicle and attached trailer combined. This is a critical safety limit.
Tongue Weight
The downward force exerted on the hitch by the trailer. Typically should be 10-15% of the total trailer weight for proper balance and control.
Payload Capacity
The maximum weight of passengers and cargo your vehicle can carry in addition to its own weight. This includes the tongue weight of the trailer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hyundai towing capacities vary significantly by model and configuration. The Palisade typically offers the highest capacity at up to 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg) when properly equipped, while smaller models like the Kona have lower capacities. Always check your specific vehicle's owner's manual for exact figures.
Yes, you'll need a hitch receiver specifically designed for your Hyundai model. Factory-installed tow packages are recommended as they include not just the hitch but also necessary cooling systems, wiring harnesses, and sometimes transmission coolers. Aftermarket hitches should be installed by professionals to ensure they meet safety standards.
Towing within your vehicle's specified capacity should not affect your warranty. However, damage resulting from exceeding rated capacities, improper towing equipment, or negligent towing practices may not be covered. Always follow your owner's manual guidelines and use approved towing equipment.
Yes, but with important considerations. Electric vehicles have different towing characteristics and capacities. Towing significantly reduces range due to increased energy consumption. Some markets offer factory-approved towing packages for electric models, but capacities are generally lower than comparable gasoline vehicles.
Frequent towing constitutes "severe service" conditions, requiring more frequent maintenance. Consider reducing oil change intervals by 30-50%, checking brakes and tires more often, and having transmission fluid changed more frequently. Consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations based on your towing usage.
