Replying to: eldaino (Dec 07, 2006 11:36 am) Soon there will be 101 other Hyundai Elantra discussions and you will need to do a search to find anything. Having too many topics for one make and model also kills the participation. Hyundai Elantra: Washing Questions Hyundai Elantra: Tuesday driving experiences Hyundai Elantra: Which XM station is your favorite Hyundai Elantra: Aftermarket Tires Hyundai Elantra: When will the hatchback arrive? Hyundai Elantra: ............................etc. etc. etc.

Replying to: eldaino (Dec 07, 2006 11:36 am) But recently, Edmunds.com's leaders came to their senses and re-instated the general discussions. So we don't need all the buckets any more. Any other snide remarks you want to make, or do you want to talk about the Elantra? Got any questions about towing? Did you know it can tow quite a load?

Replying to: backy (Dec 07, 2006 1:56 pm) 750 lbs is the maximum towing capacity for the 2007 Elantra unless the trailer has trailer brakes and then the capacity is doubled to 1,500 lbs. How much can the Elantra tow? Not much. For example, I have a 5" x 9" utility trailer and it weighs 400 lbs empty and it does not have trailer brakes. The Elantra could haul an amazing 350 lbs in the trailer! Certainly not "quite a load". At least not by my idea of "quite a load". |

Tracking all of the discussions at the board level (see link) and then using Read New Posts to catch up is probably the easiest way to stay on top of any new thoughts/posts/topics anyone chooses to contribute. Towing questions, anyone?? |

The Elantra! Yes, believe it or not my '04 Elantra can tow 3086 pounds with trailer brakes and 1000 pounds without. That's not much by truck standards, but for a budget-priced compact sedan, it's exceptional. Note that this is 1,000 pounds more than full-size sedans like the Cadillac DeVille and Mercury Grand Marquis are rated to carry. http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/list/top10/102426/article.html The 2007 Elantra's rating is down to 750 w/o trailer brakes and 1500 with, but that's still more than competitors like the Civic that aren't rated for towing anything.

Replying to: lightfootfl (Dec 08, 2006 6:03 am) Keep in mind that it's not carrying 4-5 people or towing 1000-2000 pounds--it's carrying 4-5 people AND towing 1000-2000 pounds. Although I'm not sure I'd put 5 adults in an Elantra and tow the max weight at the same time. It is after all a compact sedan, not a pickup truck or SUV.
