When it comes to using a motorcycle carrier on your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe, you will be limited by the component with the lowest weight capacity.

Although the Ultra-Fab carrier, part # UF48-979033, has a capacity of 500 pounds, you will be limited by the 400 pound tongue weight capacity of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13505, or your Santa Fe's tongue weight capacity, which ever is less.

The weight of the motorcycle, plus the weight of the carrier, should not exceed your tongue weight capacity.
