How Much Can a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Tow with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver
Question:
What is the tow hitch rating in pounds? I ordered the Curt C13152
asked by: Amy
Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13152 is rated for up to 6,000 lbs. However, your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is only rated for 2,000 lbs unless you have the factory tow package then you are rated for up to 5,000 lbs. The lower of the two ratings (hitch/vehicle) will need to be the limit you abide by. Please also note if the trailer is over 1,653 lbs it will need to have brakes according to the owner's manual. I have attached some other parts you will need below.
Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56332 (With Factory Tow Package)
Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56184 (Without Factory Tow Package)
7-Way RV Upgrade Kit part # ETBC7L
Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180
Curt Towing Starter Kit part # C45534
The Curt Echo is one of the only options that will not require you to splice into any wires on your vehicle so this is a very strong recommendation if your trailer is over 1,653 lbs.
