Towing TT using a 2019 Santa Fe
Greetings RV'ers, name is Michael, and making my 1st post on this forum. I've spent the past few days scouring this site's search feature, and was hoping to get some general guidance on an upcoming trailer purchase.
My TV is a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate 2.0t AWD, with a towing capacity of 3501 pounds, and hitch weight of 351. We just got a Curt C13195 hitch, and the matching TEKONSHA 4-way pole adapter for the factory wiring harness, model #118784. I'll be looking for the dealer to install the hitch, along with a matching brake controller and 4-7 pole converter (may be incorporated in the brake controller).
The TT I'm looking at is the Apex Nano 185BH, dry weight of 2850 and hitch weight of 350. After doing TONS of research this is the lightest weight BH that will allow mom and dad a dedicated queen bed, dining table for four, and separate bunks for the two teenagers in the family. I'd love to get the 193BH, but that will put me at 3495 dry weight and 360 on the hitch weight.
What I'd like to ask the rv.net community is what you would think of getting the 185BH on our Santa Fe. We are also considering trading in the Santa Fe for the new Palisade when it comes out later this year to get us up to 5,000 towing capacity. I figured I can get the hitch and brake controller installed on the Santa Fe now to enjoy the summer, and have 1-2 years to upgrade to the Palisade for the increased towing capacity.
This forum is great, and I greatly appreciate any and all feedback you can provide! Thanks
