What do you all think about using a 350 hp Hyundai genesis Coupe as a tow vehicle?

It all depends on the tow rating of the vehicle. For instance, my Subaru Outback has a towing capacity of 2,700 lbs. and a tongue weight limit of (I believe) 200 lbs. With out T@B, dry weight, coming in at approximately 1,670, we feel good about our capacity. When fully loaded with "stuff" and fluids (water, propane etc.) we probably add another 2-300 lbs, max.

We also tow with a Subaru Outback 2012 and after 25 days no problem at all

davee, The owners manual should state a tow rating or something regarding towing with this vehicle. If not then you could probably google it and find the tow rating.The horsepower seems to be sufficient. The rating should give you towing and tongue weight numbers.Jim, Kelseyville CA, 2013 T@B "Q", T@BCASA, Silver W/Yellow trim, TV: 2006 Honda Ridgeline

davee I am not sure what year your Genesis Coupe is but found the following hitch listed for a 2012-2014. Hyundai Genesis 2012-2014, Class 2 Frame Rear Trailer Hitch by Draw-Tite®. Includes: Removable Drawbar, Pin and Clip. The Weight Carrying Capacity is 3500 lbs, while the Tongue Weight is 300 lbs, and the Receiver Tube Opening Size is 1-1/4", Drilling Required. A sturdy hitch from Draw-Tite is engineered and built from the ground up to fit your vehicle perfectly, and allow you to tow safely and easily. Lifetime warranty. So it looks like there may be a good chance that you can install a hitch to the rear frame. The addition of a transmission oil cooler would be good as well.Martin - Trailer name: James T@Berius Kirk
