Make sure you rotate your tires every 5K to 10k Km including rotating your spare through! I fitted my spare tire which was new along side a tire that was down to the wear mark and apparently the rolling diameter difference was enough to cause diff wind up and almost broke my diff in half! $6k for a new diff and not covered under warranty!
We have the tow package and a great set up. We are also 20+ year RV people and know how to rate, load, and plan. But, who puts a tow package on a vehicle with a 18 gallon gas tank. It was sitting on empty when we got home. It eats gas with a load that's well within specs. No way would I try to go on the road and get stuck out where it's over 200 miles to a gas station in the middle of Texas or Arizona. Now we are stuck trying to decide what to do after buying two brand new vehicles. The gas tank size was something we missed, our fault. Still, only 18 gallons on an SUV that will hold 7-8 people and is rated to tow. It's absurd.
Pleasant review. You need to do one with the car towing 5000lbs, it's rated max. Not half of that. Having no problem towing half its rated capacity is expected.
I love my Santa Fe 🥰

Catnip Casa Cat Refuge where did you find all your info?? I want to be an RV person and have base model Sante Fe. I have no idea where to start.
Is it true that you can't adjust seat position while driving?

I'd rather see a 4k lb tow vehicle, as you never want to tow a trailer at your max tow capacity, as you're not leaving any room for passengers/cargo
Could you do the same test with an 2014 Audi Q5, 2.0 TDI (190ps)..??
Nice review
