What exactly does "allowable towing weight" mean? Is the 1650#s the total max?

I have the exact Sante Fe and tow a Trail Sport Hybrid approx. 3200 loaded. I have a weight distribution system installed with sway control. Never had a problem towing anything. I live in Newfoundland, Canada, lots of hills and windy conditions. The trailer has never swayed and I have never had any doubts about the ability of the machine to tow. I can check tomorrow for the brand name of the wd system and the name of the hitch as well.

Boat hulls are aerodynamic and so add much less drag that a typical boxy trailer. This accounts for the increased towing capacity for boats.

I know this is an old thread, but I am now at that point. I have 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe that needs stiffer rear coil springs. I am outside Philadelphia PA yet unable to find local solutions. Is the product still going well for you bwd1970?

Please don't ask for an exchange of information via email. We all benefit when a problem is discussed on the open forum. (Plus you may get spammed). Thanks.

#190 of 193 Which Santa Fe to choose by lani1

Feb 11, 2011 (1:21 am)

Hello,
New to Santa Fe's and towing. Will be purchasing a camper trailer (< 3000#) and there are so many new/used Santa Fe's to choose from. Are the newer models better with better engines or do any of you have success with the 2.7 engines. THANKS! Lani

Lani,
Go for the bigger, V6 engine (3.5) if you plan to tow a camper. If you were simply using a bike carrier in the tow hitch, the smaller engine would be fine. In normal driving, I still get about 22 mph overall with my V6 Santa Fe. Actually love my SF and it passes the ultimate test of a vehicle...I would buy it again. Hope this helps.
Pete

#193 of 193 Towing Max Weight by ymmot11

May 10, 2011 (8:17 am)

I would like to use my 2007 Santa Fe, V6, 3.3, for towing some equipment. The Trailer is 500lbs, and the equipment is another 1650lbs, for a total weight of 2150lbs. My manual says that unless the trailer has a seperate braking system I should not tow more than 1650. Can anyone confirm this?
