We now have the revised 2010 Santa Fe but this time purchased the 5 seater as our boys are too big for the occassional 7 seats.
Prior to that we had the 2006 7 seater & it had self leveliing suspsension, i believe all 7 seaters have the self levelling suspension. I was a bit unsure about changing but towing seems no different. The solo ride in my opinion is firmer by not having the self levelling suspension but all in all I have been very pleased.
