That's great that the Santa Fe handles well in deep snow. It gives me more confidence should I encounter that much snow. Are you on your stock tires or have some winter tires?
I had a Mazda 3 before I switched to the Santa Fe. The 3 got stuck pretty easily due to the low ground clearance. I would get hung up after parallel parking on some frozen snow in NYC.

I'm running the stock tires on all four corners without chains or studs. Interestingly, my wife has a Mazda 3 (2006 Grand Touring 4-door) and it was completely paralyzed on the same roads as the ones my Santa Fe handled with ease. We ended up leaving her Mazda on a city street until we bought and installed chains on it in order to get it home. We drove the Santa Fe to the tire store to buy the chains and it didn't even whince.

Guys: just ordered the hitch but no harness yet.... I have an '07 Touring LTD but my window sticker doesn't show anything about towing package. I have an early one (no XM). Wondering if it's worth looking under the wheelwell for the factory wiring or if I likley don't have it. Any ideas? Thanks!

I would change your stereo to an aftermarket model. I have an Alpine X100 in my 07, and I'm very satisfied with it.
You could go the FM transmitter route, but I've used them as well and the sound quality varies from passable to unlistenable, plus you have more stuff festooning your console.
I would go with something integrated. I thought the look/feel of my dash would change significantly but it really didn't.

Don't waste your time looking for the harness as it is part of the trailer hitch package. You can get one on line and it is just a plug and play unit. Enjoy your Santa Fe

I attempted to install a hitch as well but it would not fit due to the full size spare tire. Do you know of a fix for this?

What hitch did you get? There are only certian kinds that will work with the Stanta Fe. I bought my hidden hitch from Etrailer.com and it installed just fine.

Number Plate Ripped Off

Here in Mass we need to run through car washes in the winter and I just took my '08 in for the first time and had the front number plate practically ripped right off. Seeing as it is secured with just the 2 top screws I was wondering if this happens to all SF's or was this just a problem with this particulr car wash?
