CardinaleWay Hyundai Glendora – Can the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Tow Your Family Camper in Glendora, CA?

From quick weekend escapes to longer family road trips, the all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade was engineered to tow with confidence while keeping everyone comfortable. At CardinaleWay Hyundai Glendora, we help local drivers match the right 2026 Palisade configuration to their trailer, terrain, and travel style — with the know-how to make hitching up and heading out simple.

The 2026 Palisade introduces meaningful upgrades that matter when you’re on the hook. The available 3.5-liter V6 targets up to an estimated 5,000 lbs. maximum towing capacity when properly equipped, while the first-ever Palisade Hybrid targets up to an estimated 4,000 lbs. Both pair with sophisticated vehicle tech designed to steady your load and simplify the drive, including HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive with Tow Mode and newly added Mud, Sand, and Snow terrain modes. Select trims even offer an integrated, fascia-concealed OEM tow hitch — so your Palisade looks clean in town and works hard when the campsite calls.

• Powertrain choices: Newly developed 3.5L V6 (up to an estimated 287 hp) or an all-new hybrid targeting up to an estimated 329 hp and up to 339 lb.-ft. of torque.
• Towing capacity: ICE models target up to an estimated 5,000 lbs.; hybrid targets up to an estimated 4,000 lbs., both when properly equipped and depending on configuration.
• HTRAC® with Tow Mode: Holds lower gears longer and reduces shift frequency when pulling heavier loads — helpful on Glendora’s grades and ramps.
• Terrain modes: Mud, Sand, and Snow settings add traction confidence when launching watercraft, navigating gravel sites, or backing into uneven pads.
• Integrated OEM tow hitch: XRT PRO, Limited, and Calligraphy trims feature a fascia-concealed hitch for clean looks and ready capability.
• Trailer-friendly visibility: Surround View Monitor with forward ground view and Blind Spot View Monitor help with lining up the ball and changing lanes with a trailer.
• Stability and control: Longer wheelbase, available HTRAC® AWD, and robust chassis tuning support composed tracking over uneven pavement and crosswinds.

Choosing between the V6 and the hybrid? Both are excellent for SoCal families. Pick the V6 if you regularly tow near the upper range or plan to haul gear plus passengers to the lake most weekends. Choose the hybrid if you value abundant torque for urban merging, a quieter cabin on Route 66, and an ownership experience targeting 30+ mpg highway with an internally targeted range of up to 619 miles (estimates; EPA certification pending). Either way, the 2026 Palisade keeps stress low and refinement high, with premium materials, available Bose® audio, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

1. Know your numbers: Identify your trailer’s GVWR, typical cargo, and expected tongue weight — 10–15% of loaded trailer weight is a common guideline. Always verify limits in the Owner’s Manual.
2. Pick your power: Choose the 3.5L V6 for frequent, heavier towing or the hybrid for strong, efficient daily driving with occasional camper duty.
3. Select the right trim: XRT PRO, Limited, and Calligraphy add a fascia-concealed OEM tow hitch and helpful visibility tech for trailer maneuvering.
4. Consider HTRAC® AWD: AWD shines on wet ramps, loose campsites, and steep drives — a smart add for variable SoCal conditions.
5. Plan your setup: Our team can walk you through hitching, wiring, trailer brake integration, and a safety inspection before your first trip.

Towing capacity varies by configuration, and proper equipment, loading, and driving practices are essential. Our advisors will help you evaluate payload, tongue weight, and accessory choices so your Palisade is set up correctly. When you are ready, visit us at 1253 South Lone Hill Avenue in Glendora for a tailored walkthrough, a test drive with a simulated tow route, and expert guidance on accessories that fit your family’s plans.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the 2026 Hyundai Palisade’s maximum towing capacity?

ICE models target up to an estimated 5,000 lbs. when properly equipped; the first-ever Palisade Hybrid targets up to an estimated 4,000 lbs. Towing capacity varies by configuration. The 2026 Palisade also offers HTRAC® AWD with Tow Mode for optimized shift strategy under load, and select trims (XRT PRO, Limited, Calligraphy) include a fascia-concealed OEM tow hitch.

Is the Palisade Hybrid strong enough for mountain trips from Glendora?

Yes. The hybrid powertrain targets up to an estimated 329 hp and up to 339 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering confident climbs and easy merging. It also targets 30+ mpg on the highway and up to an internally targeted 619-mile range (estimates pending certification), making it a compelling option for families balancing towing with daily efficiency.

Do I need HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive to tow around Southern California?

Front- or rear-drive (depending on configuration) may be sufficient for dry, paved routes. However, HTRAC® AWD adds traction at wet ramps, gravel campsites, and steep grades, and pairs with Tow Mode for added control. Our team can help you weigh your typical destinations and choose accordingly.

What driver-assistance features help when towing?

Surround View Monitor with forward ground view can help line up the hitch, Blind Spot View Monitor projects side-camera feeds when signaling, and Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control helps manage speed on curving highways. The built-in dual-camera Dash Cam can also capture drives and incidents automatically.

Can Remote Smart Parking Assist be used while attached to a trailer?

Remote Smart Parking Assist is designed for maneuvering the vehicle itself in tight spaces without a trailer. For trailer backing, use a spotter when possible and the Palisade’s camera views to maintain visibility.

How do I make sure my Palisade is properly equipped for my trailer?

Bring your trailer specifications to CardinaleWay Hyundai Glendora, also serving San Dimas, Covina, and Azusa. We will review towing and payload limits, confirm hitch and wiring needs, discuss trailer brake integration, and schedule a hands-on hitching tutorial before your first trip.
