The Atlas has 2,000-5,000lbs of towing capacity. With the standard 2.0L engine under the hood, you’ll be able to haul up to a maximum of 2,000 pounds. However, if you go for the optional 4MOTION® 3.6L V6 engine, your Atlas will have a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. Those engines can be used for most Atlas trim levels except for the SEL R-Line and SEL Premium R-Line trim levels, that can only equip the 3.6-liter V6.
The standard horsepower for the Atlas is 235 HP. This is the standard created from a 2.0-liter Turbocharged 4cyl powertrain that’s paired with an 8-speed auto, and it also produces 258 lb-ft of torque for endless oomph. An available 266 lb-ft of torque and 276 horsepower get produced from an available 3.6L V6 powertrain.
