* The specific Tucson model year and trim: Towing capacity varies between years and trims. Check your owner's manual for the *maximum* towing capacity. This is crucial.
* The size and weight of the U-Haul trailer and its contents: This is the most important factor. Exceeding the Tucson's towing capacity is dangerous and can damage the vehicle. You MUST weigh the loaded trailer to ensure it's within the vehicle's limits. U-Haul can help with this.
* Terrain: Towing uphill, in hot weather, or on steep grades significantly reduces the vehicle's capabilities.
* Driving conditions: Wind, rain, and snow will also affect your ability to safely tow.
In short: Don't assume it can. Always check your owner's manual for the specific towing capacity of your Tucson model and never exceed it. If you're unsure, U-Haul employees can advise you on appropriate trailer sizes for your vehicle. Underestimating your towing needs can be unsafe and costly.
