I've been a lot more aware of towing combinations since getting my RV and joining these forums. On the way 'down the shore' last week I saw a Hyundai Santa Fe towing a monstrous (compared to the Santa Fe) travel trailer (had to be 25-27 feet). It was the scariest combination of things I've seen to date. I was surprised to find that the Santa Fe has a 5,000 lb. towing capacity but this guy was way overloaded. The thing was stuffed to the gills, had a rooftop carrier, rear suspension totally flattened out. He could barely do 45 MPH in the 65 MPH zone. Traffic was all jammed up behind him. I guess he's lucky in a way that he couldn't go any faster.
