Question about tow vehicle capability
I'm new to the forum, looks like lot's of great information. Hope my question doesn't repeat a previous thread. We're buying our first trailer (moving up from a pop-up) to be towed by a 2018 Hyund...

Does your Santa Fe have the towing package? Does that package include an additional transmission cooler? 5000 lbs sure sounds like a lot assuming those two bits of info...
We have had three Santa Fe's. The last one had the 3.3L v6 and towing a 700 lb utility trailer with a load of rock in it (prob 1500 lbs) it squatted pretty heavily (no idea what tongue weight was). Then again it was a 2013 and only FWD.
Might be kinda hard to find axle ratings on those as well, I'd ask Hyundai directly. But as others have said, that's a big frontal area, and a big sail catching the wind, on a short-ish wheelbase vehicle. Even if possible, you may be going up hills pretty slow.
