Can a FWD 2016 Hyundai Tucson be Towed with a Tow Dolly
Question:
I have a front wheel drive Tucson. Can it be towed behind my rv with a tow dolly? Thanks.

If you look at the owner's manual for your 2016 Hyundai Tucson you will see on page 6-23 it says that it is acceptable to tow the front wheel drive version of with the rear wheels on the ground. You will want to confirm this in your copy of the owner's manual.
Since you can tow your Tucson using a tow dolly we do have some options available to you. Part # RM-2050-1 is a basic version that is rated for 4,250 lbs and has the option to use electric brakes.
The former dolly has loose wires so I recommend installing a 6-Way # PK11604 or a 7-Way # PK12706 connector for light wiring and brake functions. The latter dolly comes with a 4-Way already installed for basic trailer light functions but you will need to cut it off and install one of the mentioned connectors to utilize the brake function.
I have attached some review videos for you to check out as well.
