Does Curt Hitch for 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Allow Spare Tire to Be Kept

Question:

I saw on another site and individual said 19 inch spare would not fit after hitch install. Have you heard any issues with this? Also, car not wired for towing. Can I use your wiring harness? Thank you

I attached a picture that shows the Curt hitch part # C13152 installed on a similar 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe with the spare reinstalled and you can see that they do fit together. The spare has to be dropped before installing the hitch but it gets reinstalled after.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the Curt kit part # CU94FR as it installs without splicing and comes with our most reliable converter box.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
