This is for anyone thinking of buying the santa fe 2010 with a dealer fitted fixed towbar.
Be aware that they only fit the standard towball and you will need to negotiate for them to fit an alko one before taking delivery or give it them to fit for you. I didn't realise there were 2 types until trying to hitch last weekend. Fortunately I was only checking everything the weekend before we go away so have managed to change it.
Also if you have the 4 thule bike rack as well fitted then you will need a 1" spacer fitted to give the hitch enough clearance from the bike bracket. My hyundai garage told me I would have to remove the bracket each time I wanted to tow!
Anyway it was all easy to sort thanks to some advice from fellow campsiteuk users, Michael and Tentz. Thanks again.
Plus, I actually towed with the car for the first time last night getting my friends caravan out of storage. Only 3 miles but towed beautifully!
