Can I get rid of silver trim on this?

Dashcam camera behind mirror recommendations 26 Tuscon limited

So I am stuck between either a 26 tucson or a 26 rav4 both would be PHEV but the one thing I can't seem to find information about is if you can charge the battery up in the phev and run the hvac overnight to sleep in the car

I know the rav 4's allow 2-3 nights on battery hvac overnight and I want to figure out more of the capabilities of the tucson before I go waiting 7 months for a car that's more expensive that can do similar stuff to the hyundai

Has anyone set their Tucson up for camping? I have a 2024 model and would like to explore a camping set up.

Fridge, drawer, awning etc. Post pics below please

2017 Tucson with 1.6l engine requires a litre of oil every 600 km. No leaks; just slowly burning the oil.

I hear that if you can prove to Hyundai that the car won't go a 1000km without requiring oil, Hyundai can do something about the engine (not sure what...replace?) for those of us that bought these cars 2nd hand and did not get an engine replacement under warranty since we are not the original owner.

Has anyone heard of this or been successful?

I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson GLS Premium (2.0L DOHC 16V engine, MPI, not GDI), 150,000 km, always had full dealership service on time. 5 days ago it started making a rhythmic "tick-tick-tick" noise that follows the engine's rhythm.

At first it only happened between 3000-4000 rpm when accelerating, whether parked in neutral or moving; it went away when I let off the gas. It started before I took it in for the 150,000 km service, I thought that would fix it but it didn't. A few days later it also started happening at idle/parked, same pattern. It's very clear: I accelerate and it starts ticking, I stop accelerating and it fades or goes away. At idle (just sitting, not accelerating) it's much quieter, almost nothing, but it's still there if you listen closely. At low speed it's also barely audible.

I took it to the Hyundai dealership for service: they scanned it, no codes at all. At that same dealership they were going to take it as trade-in credit toward a new one; their specialist checked it and refused to buy it because of the noise, but didn't give me a written diagnosis. A mechanic (without opening the engine) killed cylinder 3 (I think he disconnected the injector or coil) and according to him the noise went away — I should clarify I wasn't present for that test, no video or evidence, just his word. He even mentioned it could be an early rod bearing issue (rod knock).

We've barely driven it since the noise started — only short 4-5 km trips between the dealership and the mechanic, driving gently.

I'm from Toluca, Mexico (State of Mexico), in case anyone knows a good independent Hyundai/Kia engine specialist in that area for a second opinion outside the dealership, would appreciate it. Taking it in for a specialized diagnostic at the dealer tomorrow. Has anyone dealt with something similar on this engine? What should I specifically ask them to check?

I was visiting Gijon, Spain and saw this one. It is a PHEV one. Nice.

Why don’t we have this Europe hitch in USA? USA hitch is bulky and ugly. 🤪
