The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is more than just a family-friendly SUV. It’s also built for towing power and stability. From weekend getaways with a camper to days on the water with a boat, the Palisade offers the power and safety you need for confident towing.

With a powerful V6 engine, smart towing technology, and advanced safety systems, the Palisade gives you the confidence to tow effortlessly.

At Crain Hyundai of North Little Rock, towing capability is essential for drivers who love adventure and versatility. Let’s explore why the 2025 Hyundai Palisade is a top choice for towing.

How Much Can the 2025 Hyundai Palisade Tow?

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped with trailer brakes. This means it can tow:

  • Campers and travel trailers
  • Boats and jet skis
  • Utility trailers for work or recreation

Your towing capacity depends on factors like drivetrain, cargo load, and trailer weight. Always check your owner’s manual for specific weight limits and recommendations to ensure safe and efficient towing. Overloading your vehicle can affect performance, safety, and fuel efficiency.

Powerful Engine for Towing

A strong engine is key for confident towing, and the 2025 Hyundai Palisade is equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 that delivers:

  • 291 horsepower
  • 262 lb.-ft. of torque

This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This ensures smooth power delivery for effortless towing.

The Palisade offers HTRAC All-Wheel Drive (AWD) for extra traction and control. This system enhances stability on wet, uneven, or steep roads, helping you tow confidently in all conditions.

Towing Features That Make It Easier

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is designed with intelligent towing features that improve stability, control, and ease of use.

Advanced Towing Features

  • Trailer Sway Control (TSC): Detects trailer sway and automatically applies brakes to keep the vehicle steady.
  • Tow Mode: Adjusts throttle response and transmission shifts for a smoother towing experience.
  • Trailering Pre-Wiring Makes connecting trailer lights and brakes easier, improving safety and convenience.

These built-in features work together to provide a controlled, hassle-free towing experience.

Safety Features for Confident Towing

Towing presents additional challenges, but the 2025 Palisade comes with advanced safety features to help you tow with confidence by improving visibility and awareness.

Key Safety Features for Towing

  • Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM): This monitor provides a live video feed of blind spots, making lane changes safer while towing.
  • Surround View Monitor (SVM): This monitor offers a 360-degree camera view, helping with parking and maneuvering a trailer.
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance: Alerts you to approaching vehicles when reversing and applies brakes if needed.

These features make towing in tight spaces or busy roads easier and more secure.

Which Palisade Trim is Best for Towing?

Every 2025 Hyundai Palisade trim can tow up to 5,000 lbs, but higher trims include extra features that make towing even easier:

  • SEL Premium and Calligraphy trims offer the Surround View Monitor (SVM) and Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) for better visibility.
  • Calligraphy models come with HTRAC AWD, providing extra traction and stability for towing in various conditions.

While all Palisade models can handle towing, choosing a higher trim provides added convenience and control.

Best Practices for Safe Towing

To tow safely and efficiently, follow these essential tips:

  • Distribute weight evenly in your trailer for better stability and control.
  • Check tire pressure on both the Palisade and trailer before starting your trip.
  • Practice backing up and turning in a safe, open space before towing on busy roads.
  • Use Tow Mode for smoother acceleration and improved power distribution.

Following these steps will help ensure a safe and stress-free towing experience.
