It seems that you already driven the car, I don't know if you have expansive experience driving the other cars like Honda CRV, Pilot, Toyota RAV-4, Highlander, 4 Runner, and the other competition.
 
My suggestion is make a review of your own and we will see how it holds up with this review!
 
If it holds up you might be hired by edmunds.com and replace the editors here.

I agree. Most editors here feel the same way. But our sources say that Hyundai insisted the Santa Fe had 18 inch wheels - given that, they should have engineered the suspension to deliver a smooth ride even with the upgraded wheels and tires.
 
It's interesting to note that the GLS has 16s, so they went up 2 for the Limited and SE.

Can you get a tow package with the 07 Santa Fe? Aslo the dealer says the cost to install a hitch is $650. WOW

Interesting question that AFAIK hasn't been asked here before. I'm sorry I can't help with an answer; out of curiosity, why do you ask?

Delphi supplies the Santa Fe's audio system, including the XM receiver.

I would SUGGEST etrailer.com
http://www.etrailer.com/hitch-2007_Hyundai_Santa+Fe.htm
 
then add the oem plug and play from the dealer (about $86)
 
I got my drawtight hitch and it was a perfect fit. I bought the plug and play from the dealer (stealership) to avoid any possible warranty issue + it was easy and I am lazy! .
 
Easy installation...I just used a small jack to position the hitch and tightened in the 4 bolts...done in about 15 minutes. Then added the plug in harness in another 15 minutes...voila...nice and neat. About $210 spent.
 
30 minutes was my total and a lot of that time was hitch positioning (heavy) and routing the harness neatly in the under carriage. You should find the oem plug connectors on the driver side under the rear tire fender well...funky looking connectors on 2 wire looms. (capped to protected the wiring.....)
 
There is a large thread if you search these forums on these hitches!
 
SURE BEATS THE STEALERSHIP PRICING!
