#1 of 7 How to tell if SF has towing package? by azj Jun 08, 2009 (12:44 pm)
I'm looking for an 07 or up Santa Fe SE or Limited. How can I verify if a particular vehicle I'm looking at has the trailer prep/towing package (better fans, trans cooler (is this a better cooler or is there none without this), larger radiator)?    The 09 brochure indicates that all SE's and Limiteds have the trailer prep package. Is it really that simple for the 07s and 08s?    Obviously I'd rather not trust the salesman/dealer. Did that once before and didn't get what I was told.

I think '08's needed to have a third row to get a towing package. There should be a little supplemental radiator for the transmission that you should be able to see (besides the little ac condenser). Replies to this message: azj (Jun 10, 2009 6:29 am) denvertrakker (Jun 10, 2009 8:33 am)

Replying to: oscar_gata (Jun 08, 2009 4:32 pm) I found a post on another group that said trailer prep was part of the Touring package on his 07 sticker. Touring included 3rd row, rear AC and trailer wiring harness in fender.   Unfortunately I don't want or need the 3rd row and would rather have the storage compartment Replies to this message: denvertrakker (Jun 10, 2009 8:33 am)

Replying to: azj (Jun 10, 2009 6:29 am) According to the '08 factory brochure, trailer prep (upgraded radiator and fans, trans cooler, prewiring) was available ONLY on SE's with the touring package, and on Limiteds with either Touring+Nav or Touring+RSE. Can't have one without the other.

Replying to: azj (Jun 08, 2009 12:44 pm) I have an 07 SE AWD, no touring package, but when I look under the wheel well, I saw the prewiring for the trailer harness....much to my suprise. It (two plug ins) is located on the wheel well towards the front of the car on the drivers side.

Can you look in through the grill and see if there is a transmission cooler as well as the A/C condenser? I'm wondering if the 07s are different than the 08s. Replies to this message: rick2456 (Jun 18, 2009 6:42 am)

Replying to: azj (Jun 16, 2009 7:05 am) I am not sure what a transmission cooler looks like, but there is a tube running in front (right side) of the radiator connected to what looks like a 4" x 8" smaller radiator type device.
