The 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe offers a towing capacity between 1,200 and 2,800 pounds, depending on the chosen engine option. This also determines the SUV's tongue weight, ranging from 120 to 280 pounds. With a payload capacity of 1,292 to 1,536 pounds, you can haul loads using an engine producing 147 pound-feet of torque. However, the Santa Fe is not considered an ideal vehicle for towing due to its compact size and unibody platform. For heavier towing needs, a larger SUV would be a better choice.
