We just purchased a 2020 NX 300 AWD and are considering adding a hitch to tow a Spyder motorcycle on a trailer. The total weight of the bike and trailer would be 1800 lbs. I know the NX is rated at 2000 lbs. Has anyone had experience towing and what problems should I expect.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I remember reading a couple of years ago about a NX200T towing a small travel trailer. A search might find it.

I think the biggest challenge you might have is if you want to extend the brake lights to the trailer (if it has it) - I don't think the wiring is there for you to easily just plug in.

the One problem is pulling in and out of driveways and gas stations where there's a dip where lot meets the road. The hitch is very low to ground and will scrape. Total weight of passengers and gear needs to be low as possible. Steep uphill grades will mean slow going. Flat ground is no issue. Half of towing is pulling weight, the other half is stopping safely in a short distance. Trailers of that size don't typically have brakes, but I'd consider getting trailer brakes and having the car wired for that. Not ideal but certainly possible.
