Santa Fe 2013 (3500lbs) and 2800lbs TT
Hi, Last weekend was Montreal National RV show, me and my wife decided to go take a look. I just bought a brand new Hyundai Santa Fe 2013 2.0TSE with a towing capability of 3500lbs, never towed any...

Another thought would be to try and rent a unit for a weekend close to the weights you were originally looking at to see how it tows with your SUV.
And yes there is alot more to towing a TT than just what your vehicle manufacturer says you can tow. I towed a 4200 lb loaded hybrid TT with a mid-size V6 pickup with a 6100 lb tow rating. Sounded great on paper, but it wasn't quite as easy as I thought it would be. It worked, but was frustrating on the hills and with any winds or semis passing by (even with WD hitch and sway control).
Other thoughts are:
- try to sell your vehicle yourself
- check at a used vehicle marketplace (like CarMax here in the USA) for another vehicle you like and see if they can work a better deal that way
- get a small popup and sell or trade later
- get a nice tent :)
