Expert Answers about Hyundai Santa Fe


  • Determining Hitch Capacity of 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • I can help you determine if the custom fit Curt hitch # C13152 will work for your wheelchair and wheelchair carrier on your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe. The tongue weight capacity, or maximum downward force that can be safely applied to a hitch is typically 10 percent of the towing capacity of the vehicle. The combined weight of your wheelchair plus the wheelchair carrier, is within the 900lb tongue weight capacity of the hitch itself, but if the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle is less,...

  • How Much Can a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Tow with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver

  • Can One Set of Hydraulic Drum Brakes Provide Enough Stopping Power for a Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  • If your boat trailer came equipped with hydraulic drum brakes on both axles, it is best to keep both sets in working order, but if this is the route you prefer you'll want to put the new brakes on the rear axle where most of the boat's weight will be concentrated. I linked our main page for hydraulic drum brakes. You can use the filters on the page to select your overall axle capacity (both of your current axles' capacities added together) to see if we have brakes of the appropriate rating,...

  • Can I Safely Carry a Motorcycle at the Back of My 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
  • Yes, the tongue weight rating of a hitch will be the same whether you're towing a trailer or using it for an accessory like hauling a motorcycle.

  • Weight Capacity of Roof Rack on a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe Carrying Two Kayaks
  • My wife and I just bought a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe that has the factory rails that run front to back. The limit of those is 75 pounds just like on yours, and I remember thinking, wow, that is not very much. Adding cross bars will not increase the capacity of the rails even if the cross bars themselves might be able to carry more weight. Even if this is the case, you will still be limited to the 75 pounds. If you were to add the recommended cross bars, # Y00408, and the Towers, # Y80145,...

  • Will the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Level a Heavy Load on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
