Expert Answers about Hyundai Santa Fe

• 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,...

• Storage Box Size for Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2317
• The storage box for the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2317 will comfortably fit in a 14-1/2" x 14-1/2" opening, but you might be able to squeeze it into a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" opening if that's all you have available. It's only a few inches thick so it can easily be stored under some seats in a worst case scenario.

• Does the Weight of a Weight Distribution System Factor When Determining Loaded Tongue Weight
• When Reese was at etrailer.com reviewing their weight distribution systems I asked if the weight of the weight distribution system needed to be taken into account when determining the loaded tongue weight and they said that was not necessary. So to answer your question no, you would not need to factor in the weight of your WD system when determining loaded tongue weight. I attached a couple helpful FAQ articles to the right that you should find informative.

• Can 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Safely Transport a Trilift Carrier and 300 lb Handicapped Scooter
• Thanks for reaching out! Our trailer hitches, like the etrailer Hitch # e28AR, that fit your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe are more than capable of handling the weight of a Trilift carrier and 300 lb mobility scooter but when I checked the owner's manual for your vehicle it looks like the tongue weight rating for your vehicle is less than the 600 lb rating that this specific hitch has (which isn't uncommon as the hitches are tested apart from the vehicle). According to the online manual your...

• Recommended 7-Way Wiring Harness for a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
• There is a 7-Way adapter that will work with your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport's 4-way connector but you will need to run another power wire directly to your battery. You can't splice into your current one because they both need direct sources of power to function. You will want the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation item # ETBC7L. This 7-Way connector is designed specifically to work with wireless brake controllers like the Curt Echo item # C51180. The kit includes...

• How Much Can a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Tow with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13152 is rated for up to 6,000 lbs. However, your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is only rated for 2,000 lbs unless you have the factory tow package then you are rated for up to 5,000 lbs. The lower of the two ratings (hitch/vehicle) will need to be the limit you abide by. Please also note if the trailer is over 1,653 lbs it will need to have brakes according to the owner's manual. I have attached some other parts you will need below. Curt T-Connector Vehicle...

• Shipping Weight of etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver E98841
• The shipping weight of the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98841 is 34-lbs for standard ground shipment within the USA. Since you will be using a freight forwarding service to accept the hitch and send it on to you at your overseas location I recommend that when you call etrailer Customer Service to place and pay for the order that you also ask them to provide extra packaging for protection during the long shipping process. This may add a couple of pounds to the shipping weight but...

• Can I Install a Rooftop Tent on the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack on My 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe?
• I have a great answer for you. Unfortunately, Rhino-Rack does not provide the static weight capacity of their roof racks. This weight capacity is the weight limit of the rack when the vehicle is stopped. However, given that the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack # RR87QJ attaches to your fixed mounting points in the flush rails on your 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe, it will be able to support people in a roof top tent as long as you do not exceed the weight capacity of the tent or the overall weight capacity...

• 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,...

• Will the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Level a Heavy Load on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
• You are correct, the trailer hitches for your 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe do not allow for the use of a weight distribution system, so the best option for you will be the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4170, as long as you do not exceed the lowest rated capacity of either your vehicle or trailer hitch. These air springs will help level your vehicle when towing a 3,000 lb trailer with a 280 lb tongue weight. These air springs will fit inside of your existing coil springs and are...
