Trailer Hitch Compatibility Between 2016 and 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

Question:

Do you know if the trailer hitch for the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport fits the 2017? I think it does as not much changed between the model years.

Our trailer hitch fits for the 2016 and 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport are shown on the two linked pages. These two vehicle model years do indeed share the same hitch fits.

When there is a choice of hitch sizes as there is for these vehicles we generally always recommend higher-capacity 2-inch hitches like the Curt # C13152 because a 2-inch hitch will be usable with far more available accessory carriers like bike racks and cargo carriers. The cost difference between a 1-1/4-inch hitch and a stronger 2-inch type is typically so small that it just makes more sense for most applications to go for the 2-inch Class III option.

If you intend to move a hitch from one vehicle to another please note that you cannot use the same hardware twice. Hitch installation hardware can be torqued to spec only one time. We do offer replacement hitch hardware kit # RHK. To order the correct replacement hardware for any of these hitches simply enter "RHK" into our search box and press enter; then simply select your hitch brand and part number.

Installation instructions for all hitches are available on each hitch page along with helpful videos.
