Flat Towing Components for 2019 Hyundai Veloster Ultimate

Question

Question:

FYI, you won't get a reading on 2018 models, because they did not build any in 2018, due to "redesign". Hyundai America has already confirmed to me, in writing, that the manual shift 2019 model Veloster is towable. The 2019 Veloster owners manual doesn't say anything about towing behind a motorhome, or at speed, only towing in an emergency. That's why I contacted Hyundai. I guess all I can do is wait & ask again later. Meanwhile, I have to decide on purchasing this vehicle, whose purpose mainly will be a dinghy. NOT A GOOD SOLUTION!

At this time there is not a fit confirmed for 2018 or 2019 Hyundai Veloster models from any of our manufacturers. Unfortunately I cannot view an owners manual to confirm if this is because it is not able to be towed or because it simply has not been fitted yet. I reached out to my contact at RoadMaster and they have not had either model year in to check fit.

Thanks for that info. Since you have confirmed that it is flat towable, there are some options even though there are not custom fit base plates available yet. For your towing setup I recommend the following: Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs # C19745 RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643 Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251 RoadMaster # RM-88400 relay ( required to prevent the towed vehicle's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from the RV when applying the brakes during a turn) The final thing you need is a compatible ball mount. I've attached an article to assist as well as the link to your options. I've also attached an article on the overview of parts for a flat towing system.
