Expert Answers about Hyundai Santa Fe


  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • For your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe the trailer hitch I recommend is the custom-fit Curt Class III hitch part # C13195 because it has a 2 inch opening which most bike racks are made for and it has plenty of tongue weight capacity for a bike rack. For a bike rack I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F. This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe with Panoramic Roof
  • You actually can use a roof rack on your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe with the panoramic roof! I recommend going with the Thule AeroBlade roof rack because it is rated for 165 lbs and features an aerodynamic crossbar design that mounts on top of the roof rack feet so you have unrestricted access to the crossbars. For this setup you need the 47" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711200 Silver or # TH711220 Black, the Podium Foot Pack # TH460R, and the Fit Kit # THKIT4093. Adding the lock cores # TH450400...

  • Comparing Thule, Yakima, Rhino Rack Rola Roof Racks for Hyundai Santa Fe 2017 With Flush Rails
  • The winner in my opinion is the Rhino Rack roof rack for your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe with flush mounted rails part numbers # RRVA137B-2 and # RRSX032 over the other brands. You get the same quality and ease of install as the Yakima and Thule racks at a better price. The common complaint with the Rola roof racks is that the bars bend and flex more than most people like and the install isn't quite as easy. With all that in mind the Rhino Rack is the best pick.

  • 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18152 Recommendation for a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • Yes, since you have a 2 inch hitch installed on your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18153 that you referenced would work well on your vehicle. This carrier has a distance of 19 inches from the pin hole to the edge of the carrier. I attached a review video that shows this cargo carrier being demoed on a similar Santa Fe as yours for you to check out as well. I also attached an FAQ on hitch sizes that you may find interesting as well.

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • For your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe the three hitches you mentioned are very similar in design between the Draw Tite part # 75908, the Curt # C13195, and the etrailer # e98843. They all would install all the same without any being more difficult than the other. The etrailer and Curt are actually made at the same factory so they are essentially the same but the etrailer has a matte finish instead of glossy that we've found is the most durable. So since it has the highest towing capacity too...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • First you'll want a roof rack installed on your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe which for that the best option is the Thule Aeroblade roof rack part numbers # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT4093 as this rack will give you aero shaped crossbars that are 47 inches long that will be a great base for mounting a kayak carrier and will also minimize wind noise when compared other bar shapes. The install video I attached for this rack shows it installed on a similar 2016 Santa Fe. Then for a kayak carrier...

  • What Ball Mount Is Needed for a 4x8 U-Haul Cargo Trailer with a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98841 when we installed it on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe was 13" from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube. I called U-Haul and they said that the coupler height of the 4x8 cargo trailer is around 16" from the ground to the bottom of the coupler while level therefore you will need to use the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45311 with the 2" Hitch Ball part # A-90.

  • Recommended Towing Package for 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe XL
  • For your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe XL Limited I recommend starting with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # C13153. This will give you a strong hitch and will allow your spare tire to be reinstalled without any issues. For your wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56184 to get your 4-way and then add the Universal Brake Controller Wiring Kit # ETBC7 Kit to get your 7-way. This kit comes with the wiring, the connectors, the...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2019 Wolfpup BHS with Tongue Weight Near 600 lb
  • The tongue weight range for the Fastway Kit part # FA94-00-0600 that you referenced is 400 to 600 lbs. It sounds like you'd be pretty close to that but you'd have to verify to be certain since you are pretty close to going over. The next higher range is the part # FA94-00-0800 which has a range of 400-800 lb.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Weight Distribution System for 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited
  • The frame will allow you to use a weight distribution system. If you don't have a trailer hitch yet, then I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13153 for your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Ultimate which has a max towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. This hitch will allow you to use a weight distribution system like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # FA92-00-0800. This will work for total tongue weights ranging from...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement for Carrying Scooter on Rear of 2013 Hyundai SantaFe
  • The Firestone # F4170 Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring kit is what I'd recommend. The single path system allows you to tailor the amount of support according to the load placed on your rear suspension. As you stated, the system won't increase the capacity of the rear suspension of your 2013 SantaFe, but it will greatly reduce the sag in your rear suspension that occurs when carrying your scooter. This system is a must in your situation, because when the rear suspension sags as yours does when...

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier for a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe with 2 Inch Trailer Hitch
  • The most popular cargo carrier for 2 inches hitches on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is Curt folding carrier # C18151. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you. The most popular non-folding option is # 63153. I have linked a video of it as well. These are both solid options. It just depends on if you want one that folds up or not.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • I do have just what you are looking for. I called my contact at Curt and they told me that the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # C56332. This harness simply plugs into the connection points in the rear cargo area, and after running a hot lead to the car battery you will have a 4-way connector at the back of your Santa Fe. When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections...

  • Recommended Tow Hitch and Trailer Wiring for a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Without Tow Package
  • For your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13152 because it has the highest weight capacity and is the most durable option we have for you due to the superior powder coating process. It is also made in the USA. This trailer hitch is a direct bolt-on fit for your Santa Fe Sport. I have attached an install photo for you as well. For a tallier wiring harness, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118571 because we have found...

It will provide you with a 2 inch receiver perfect for your existing bike rack. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check out as well. All the needed hardware is included. Just note that Curt does recommend the use of a stabilizing...

  • Installing Crossbars On Camper That Has Roof Tracks
  • Your Starcraft camper appears to have standard roof tracks that would allow fitment of Rhino-Rack or Thule towers and crossbars. Both Thule and Rhino-Rack use the same size roof tracks which measure about .8 wide inside the channel and about .5" wide inside the top section of the channel (see attached photo). If your measurements are the same then you can install a Thule or Rhino-Rack roof rack. I recommend going with Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R, Fit Kit # THKIT3101, and 60" Thule Wingbar...

  • Is There A Coupler Lock Compatible With The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator DM72VR?
  • To lock the latch of the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 2" Ball - 7,000 lbs # DM72VR you were looking at you will need the etrailer Surge Brake Coupler Lock - 3-3/8" Span - 1/4" Diameter - Chrome # e98888. This lock goes in the hole shown in the included picture and keeps the coupler closed so no one can hook up a hitch ball when the trailer is sitting around, and will also make it so no one can remove the trailer from your hitch ball when it is hooked up to your truck. I...

  • The only available suspension enhancement option we offer for a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe is the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs, part # CSS-1145 for GLS and Limited models or part # CSS-1125 for all other sub-models.
