The Curt # C13152 and Draw-Tite # 75772 trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport are both pretty much the same. They install in the same location and even have the same clearance. The weight capacity of the Curt is higher but in all reality they're both rated as high as your Santa Fe so the higher capacity doesn't really matter. The Draw-Tite does have a slightly better price tag so, if it were me, I'd go with it.

If your Santa Fe has the tow package you can plug in # HM11143965 to a connector a long the frame rail. If it doesn't have the tow package then # C59496 is what you'll need. It wires into your Hyundai and includes a circuit tester so you can find the correct wires you need by function.

You'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached a link of our selection of ball mounts for a 2 inch hitch receiver as well as an article to help you determine the correct rise or drop you may need. Once you choose a ball mount you can then choose a hitch ball to fit it.

One way to make choosing a ball mount easier is to go with an adjustable ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10038B. It features the ability to be flipped under the hitch when not using it and will provide up to 5-1/2 inches of rise or 5 inches of drop.

For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking pin you can use # BX8858.

I've also included links to some articles on towing that you might find helpful.
