2024 Hybrid Towing Question

[schultzps]

I have a 2024 Hybrid that I have added a hitch for towing. The manual indicated the hybrid vehicle is rated to tow 2000 pounds. I am moving in a couple months from Yuma Arizona to Iowa (aprox. 1,900 miles) and want to pull a small trailer. At this point I am estimating 1,000 - 1,200 pounds including the trailer, but will get a better idea in the next month as I start boxing and weighing everything. For those who have had experiance with towing loads iwith a hybrid, please let me know your experience's. Thanks

We have an Aliner camper that weight 1551 lbs. My 2024 Lariat hybrid tows it very easily. I top out my speed at 65 mph. Just keep in mind you have extra weight, so increase your stopping distance.
You will be fine. Be safe and enjoy the trip.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I towed a 40' fifth wheel with a 3500 chevy diesel for almost five years while living full time on the road after retirement, so that part, I am ok with. I know it will be not a solid with a little truck, but at least I can go in knowing the truck can perform the work.

22 hybrid, towing 1500 lbs trailer. No problem. Mileage about half . Avoid the fast lane and high speeds and you'll be fine.

You will do fine.
You won't have trailer brakes (I assume?) with something that light, so be extra careful stopping. But it will pull 3000 lbs just fine. I do pull 3000 lbs with trailer brakes several times a year with a 2022 hybrid.

Thanks for the heads up. I am very familiar with pulling trailers and understand the braking distance caution. My 40' fifth wheel brakes had an electrical issue during a trip and had to drive for a whole day without trailer brakes. Its fine as long as you respect what you are pulling.
