Hi, I noticed the Santa Fe in the driveway. Is that your tow vehicle and if so have you had any issues towing, particularly towing out of the water on the ramp? I also have a sx190 as well as a Santa Fe. I use my Tacoma pickup for towing. Just curious as to how the Santa Fe handles the tow. Thanks

We have the Santa Fe sport Turbo and it pulls the boat just fine. It is our only tow vehicle. I specifically bought a boat that could be towed by the Santa Fe so I didn't need to buy a new vehicle to tow the boat.

No problems towing or pulling the boat out of the water. It is rated for 3500 lbs and I purchased a tow hitch with an adjustable, up to 9 in rise, so the trailer is level. If you have the 2.0t or 3.3 you will be fine. If you have the sport non turbo I wouldn't tow with it.
