Hyundai Tucson Towing Capacity
With the Tucson, the powertrain decides the towing number: the gas model and the two hybrids are rated differently, while trim and drive do not change it. This guide uses the 2026 Tucson, Tucson Hybrid and Tucson Plug-in Hybrid specifications on hyundaiusa.com, read November 4, 2026, for towing capacity, hitch and wiring, engines and weights. Other model years can differ.
