Hi All,
Has anyone actually taken a MY06-MY10 Santa Fe into serious off road conditions. By serious i mean the following
1) Sufficent rock or ruts to cause cross axle wheel lift and has the SanttFe been abll to pull itself through with the traction control system.
2) Has anyone attempted really steep climbs off road in rough or loose gravel conditions. Again was the Sanat fe able to pull itself through?
3) Has anyone done serious down hil work i.e. very steep down hill tracks? Is the lack of low range really in issue in step terrain? Expecially with the diesel Auto?
4) Has anyone done soft sand work? Is the car apable on the sand and able to maintian progress as long as it has sufficent underbody clearance?
Any experience and feedback woudl be appreciated.

The little Suzuki Sidekick 4X4 I had years ago was much better suited for exploring the wilderness, with its small size and 4-Low range on the
transfer case, and I did just that with it. But I sure wouldn't take my Santa Fe the places I took the Suzie!
