Best towing and off road testing yet. The SC seems to handle it well.
I've been driving my Dakota for 20 years waiting for something that checks all the boxes: right sized, good mileage, lots of tech and sporty. The SC (on paper) is 95% perfect... I subtract a few points for no memory seats and the stupid rear window porthole.Hyundai really combined a sporty drive, comfortable ride, modern interior, and utility of an open bed all into one badass vehicle. This thing is almost perfect for me.
For sure. This represents what I would do with a SC - so I was super excited to finally see it action. As I commented on YT I just wish they had done a longer test. They towed 10 miles at an average of like 30 mph so this wasn't a challenge. Still these guys know trucks and didn't say the SC is some wussy joke. It gets the job done and looks good doing itThis was probably one of my favourite reviews yet - because it's a little more real world than the press tours.
Right there with you @Mark. I need 7 pin and the break controller. I'll keep my eye out for a 3rd party one...Good catch, thanks for that. This is exactly the kind of testing I was looking for. I will wait anxiously for the travel trailer test with brake controller.
Yes I am not going to buy one until they get the 7 ping cable harness issue straightened out. Also my closet dealer said they wouldn't install the hitch and harness, I'd have to take it to a welding shop. I told him then a different dealer would get my business. Also here is a link to a controller another member here posted. As I keep hitting my knee on the one I have in the Colorado and knocking it off. I like the bluetooth idea.Right there with you @Mark.

I went back and played it again, switched to headphones, and cranked them up. I didn't hear it over speakers, but with headphones, I believe I heard what you're talking about. There was definitely some type of ticking ... like actuators. I thought maybe it was the braking on the wheel that was in the air pulsing, but could be the clutches too. Not sure, but I heard something like you described.at low speeds, when they're doing the gravel traction test, do you guys hear some ticking crackling noise?
If they think that's normal, then I can sleep better now since mine does that on pavement (just not that loud like in the video)
and it seems that it's when they engaged in mud mode, which I don't think in the US we get that, we have snow mode I rememberI went back and played it again, switched to headphones, and cranked them up.

Very strange. Obviously no sand or mud south of Minot N.D.and it seems that it's when they engaged in mud mode, which I don't think in the US we get that, we have snow mode I remember
I've been to Minot! Well, more passed through it, really. LOLVery strange. Obviously no sand or mud south of Minot N.D.
I believe those are numbers for a Ridgeline. The SC is 50% I think, but only under 37 MPH. I still believe Sport Mode would be best for towing due to the revamped / more aggressive shift points plus I believe its sends power rearward more often in Sport.I’ve read ( cant confirm ) that in Sport mode you get a 70/30 power split with 70% of the torque going to the rear wheels. If true that would be the only mode to tow in.
