Hi everyone
I have recently swapped my Mazda CX7 for a 2018-2020 automatic version Santa Fe. The Mazda was absolutely rock solid when towing but the Santa Fe seems to be decidedly twitchy at motorway speeds. Since most people seem to rave about the Santa Fe's ability (and on paper it is heavier than the Mazda and the towing weight ratio is only 74%) I guess I dont have the setup quite right. Certainly the suspension is much softer than the Mazda, and there are many more "driver assistance" toys which I suspect should be switched off, plus the car has its own towing stability system which may be fighting with the Alko caravan system.
If there are any similar Santa Fe drivers out there, I would appreciate any tips on how you set up your car when towing
TIA
