Email I had from customer service say 1600 but I just found in my hand book 1350, so they must have changed this recently to 1600. But it does say to tow after you have done 1200 miles
Tow bar fitment for 2022 Tucson N Line S hybrid 230bhp
Finally bit the bullet and had a tow bar fitted to my N Line S.
It was a 2 hour job by a local mobile fitter, I have exactly the same tow bar as Jools with dedicated electrics and the cost was £775.
The beauty was that that the wiring just plugged into sockets that are situated behind the nearside interior wheel arch cover on the N Line, so no need to run wiring through the car to a fusebox.
The job entailed semi removal of rearmost, outer wheel arch trims. Loosening both wheel arch liners. Removal of both upper rear light clusters. Removal of complete bumper inc lights.
Removal of plastic trim where the rear hatch catch is and removal of n/s interior wheel arch liner.
It was somewhat nail biting watching the fitter strip the rear end of the car away and even more so when I saw he was using metal ended trim removal tools.
Luckily he's fitted hitches to the latest Tucson before inc the N Line, so all went well as far as I saw.
I've found no scratches or other damage as yet, but there were two trim fixing plugs left on the drive, so fingers cross nothing falls off or rattles.
The N Line bumper requires a small section cutting out from the underside which is not visible afterwards.

Similar experience to myself. (Removable towbar) Although I’ve noticed the wheel arches and rear bumper doesn’t quite fit as flush as they did before…
Mine was done by a fitter recommended by my dealer. I didn't watch it, but everything looks fine and it fits well.
Although it's a removable one, I leave it on all the time - if someone drives into the back, they will come off worse!

I own a 2022 Ultimate Hybrid with Tech Pack - in Red (best colour).
Also have two motorcycles. Honda CB1300 and Honda CBF1000 (also red, of course).

Same. Dealer quoted nearly 1K! They pointed me in the direction of a fitter they send customers to. Paid just over £600 inc electrics.
I did that on a previous car for the same reason. My shins actually came off worseAlthough it's a removable one, I leave it on all the time - if someone drives into the back, they will come off worse!
