Fix for Sagging When Towing
10

Asked by WhoAmI2019 Nov 25, 2019 at 12:33 AM about the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Ultimate FWD

Question type: Car Customization

I have a 2018 Santa Fe Limited Ultimate.  I have already installed the hitch, 7 pin
wiring harness, and brake controller.  I am trying to address the sagging when
towing.

My understanding is that a 2wd nobody would not do well with a weight
distribution system.  I have not being avle to find airbags for this specific year
and model.  Do you have any recommendation?

Too much tongue weight? Use a weight distributing hitch which has nothing to do with 2WD or 4WD. How much weight are you towing?

@ F_O_R - Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate you taking the time. In regards to my question, the tongue weight is at around 450 lbs. My trailer is 3400 lbs. In theory, the car can handle 500 lbs in tongue weight. In reality, it does not. I asked the dealership if I could use a weight distribution hitch. Their response was that they do not recommend it because this is a unibody (apologies for the typo in my question) in addition, it is a 2wd. Apparently, the 4WD can handle a weight distribution hitch. What has your experience been? Do you have a 2WD Santa Fe working well with a weight distribution hitch?
