2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Towing: 4,000 Pounds Explained

Webb Hyundai Highland | (219) 923-2277 | 9236 Indianapolis Blvd, Highland, IN 46322

How much can it tow?

Up to 4,000 lb, and the trailer brake requirement is not optional fine print. Without trailer brakes the usable rating is lower, so confirm your setup before you commit to a trailer.

What can you actually pull?

4,000 lb covers a small travel trailer, a two-place snowmobile trailer, a pair of jet skis or a utility trailer with a compact tractor. It does not cover most fifth-wheel or large travel trailers, so measure before you buy either end of the combination.

How do you tow safely?

1. Fit trailer brakes. The 4,000-lb rating applies when the vehicle is equipped with trailer brakes.
2. Weigh the loaded trailer. Include cargo, fuel and water, not just the dry weight.
3. Load 60 percent forward of the axle. Keeps the trailer stable and limits sway at highway speed.
4. Check tire pressures cold. Set them before you drive, not after the tires warm up.
5. Expect reduced fuel economy. Towing pulls well below the 35-mpg highway rating, so plan stops on longer IN trips.

Does towing suit a hybrid?

The electric motor contributes torque from a standstill, which helps getting a loaded trailer moving. The trade is fuel economy: towing pulls consumption well away from the 35-mpg highway rating, so budget accordingly on a long run up the Borman Expressway.
