Towing experience with the 2.0 T 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, FWD.....

[Gliderman2m]

Hello everyone, I have a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate, 2.0T, FWD. This is a great vehicle at 23,000 miles. Life intervenes, I am now seriously considering buying an 18 ft Bayliner outboard fish/ski boat, the dry weight is 2200 lbs. I think my Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T at 235 HP, 260 ft/lbs torque will handle the task, has any 2.0T owners out there trailered a similar load ? I have the FWD version, not the AWD option. Thanks.

Were you able to get the answer to your question? I have a similar situation for the 2020 model. I’d appreciate any insights you could share. Thanks in advance!

I had a 2013 Escape with a 2.0 turbo 240HP 270ft lb torque, 6 speed auto, AWD without the factory tow packageand max towing was 2000 lbs.
With the factory tow package (which included trailer breaks and sway control) max towing increased to 3500 lbs.
Do you have the factory installed tow package? Not sure how that relates, but thought it might help.
