Understanding the 2024 Hyundai Palisade Trims

In a moment, we’re going to dive headfirst into discussing the towing capacity of the 2024 Hyundai Palisade. But before we do that, you need to know about the different trims that are available for this mid-size SUV.

The 2024 Palisade currently comes in six trims:

  • SE
  • SEL
  • XRT
  • Limited
  • Calligraphy
  • Calligraphy Night Edition

Each of these models comes with its own unique features. The SE and SEL trims, for example, have enough seating to fit eight people; the Limited and Calligraphy trims can only seat seven but have comfortable captain’s chairs in the second row.

But one thing remains the same regardless of which trim you choose when buying the 2024 Hyundai Palisade. They all have the same towing capacity when properly equipped.

Unmatched Power

The 2024 Hyundai Palisade comes with a 291-hp 3.8L GDL V-6 engine. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that has steering-wheel-mounted paddles that will allow you to manually shift it if you so choose. The newest Palisade comes with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive will also be an option if you choose the SE, SEL, or Limited model. This powertrain allows the 2024 Palisade’s to tow more than you might think.

Towing Capacity

Let’s stop messing around and get into what we all came here to talk about: the 2024 Hyundai Palisade’s towing capacity. No matter which 2024 Palisade trim you ultimately decide to drive off the lot, it will be able to tow up to 5,000 pounds. All of the Palisade models come with the same powertrain and have the same towing capacity, so even drivers who choose the base model will have plenty of power. The only thing you’ll need to do to unlock this towing power is ask a dealer like Allen Turner Hyundai to supply you with a trailer hitch before you leave.

In addition to towing up to 5,000 pounds, every 2024 Palisade is also outfitted with towing-specific features like a transmission cooler, trailer pre-wiring, and sway control. It doesn’t have a designated tow mode, but the available all-wheel drive helps it achieve the highest pulling power possible.

The 2024 Palisade’s 5,000-pound towing capacity allows it to keep pace with other mid-size SUVs like the 2024 Acura MDX and the 2024 Lexus TX 350. At the same time, it offers more luxury features and a more stylish exterior than its counterparts with the same towing capacity. The 2024 Palisade can tow a surprising amount of weight for such a classy and well-designed vehicle.
