Can Sonata handle the tow?

...

I am looking at purchasing a small campervan and towing it with a 2006 Hyundai Sonata V6 3.3-litre. The tare would be no more than 860 kg. Would the Sonata be suitable, if so would I have to make any changes to the cooling system or anything else on the car to make it safer or easier to tow?

The Sonata has a respectable maximum towing capacity of 1700 kg (braked), but only 750 kg without trailer brakes. On that basis you would need trailer brakes to tow your campervan, a good safety measure in any case.
