Why Isn't Hitch for 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Rated for Weight Distribution
Question:
I have a2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz and Im wondering why this hitch says it is not rated for a weight distribution hitch. I know the Santa Cruz only has a 5000lb tow rating, but I have a distribution hitch I would like to use it on my trailer weight of trailer loaded is 4800lbs. I just want it to be level when towing it. Whats your thinking on this? Or do you have another hitch that will fit with a distribution hitch rating?

Helpful Expert Reply:
So weight distribution systems put additional stress on the chassis and hitch of the vehicle. Typically the hitches that are rated for WD are for vehicles that have full frames and/or the hitch installs with longer flange mounting brackets to distribute that stress/leverage out. The Curt hitch that fits your 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz basically does not attach in enough places to the vehicle to be safe to use with a WD system.
