Looking to see what kind of strength the Hyundai Tucson has? When properly equipped, the 2021 Tucson can tow between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds around Littleton, Parker, and Castle Rock, CO.
Our McDonald Hyundai team has created this informative Hyundai Tucson towing capacity guide to detail the engine configurations, features that benefit this SUV’s towability, and the Tucson’s cargo capacity. Start reading below!

Across the Hyundai Tucson’s six trim levels, towing capacity will depend on the trim you choose. With two engine configurations, you can generate enough power to tow your cargo:
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Trim Level |
| 2.0L inline 4-cylinder | 161 | 150 lb-ft | SE and Value |
| 2.4L inline 4-cylinder | 181 | 175 lb-ft | SEL, Sport, Limited, and Ultimate |
If you choose the SE or Value trims, you’ll be able to tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. With those two Tucson trim levels, you can tow these items:
It’s also important to note that all Hyundai Tucson trim levels come standard with front wheel drive. Because this type of drivetrain usually allows a vehicle to be lighter, you can utilize a higher towing capacity with a 2-wheel drive system compared to the available all wheel drive system.
