Anybody tow with their Elantra?
Edmunds.com says the >'01 Elantras can tow up to 3,000lbs with trailer
brakes. Has anyone tested that? Seems a bit far fetched for a small 2 liter, 4-banger engine. |
Re: Anybody tow with their Elantra?
What would you tow with one? you couldn't tow much more than a power mower
with one of the underpowered things. |
Re: Anybody tow with their Elantra?
A small travel trailer that'll be ~1,000 lbs loaded.

I towed a Uhaul 5 by 8 covered trailer that was packed to the hilt and
weighed over 1500 pounds. Through the rockies. It had no problem. No overheating, no major hickups. |

I haven't shopped extensively, but when I bought my class I (read, very light duty) hitch for my 01 elantra, I never saw a class II or higher hitch for the car. Class I hitches are only rated for 2000 pounds. I've only towed twice, a motorcycle and trailer probably 900 pounds total. Had no problems on small streets or expressways, but 3000 pounds might make it more difficult. Ben |

I did a similar 4x8 trailer loaded. Gross weight was about 1700 lbs. I
hauled about 700 miles from NJ to southern VA and back. I never had a problem either, but the brakes took a beating. Acceleration was fine.
