Okay, we can get your 2022 Hyundai Tucson set up with a 7-way so you can do some towing with a hitch that fits your vehicle, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT22MR.

What you will need are a couple of parts; first the 4-flat, which will power your trailer's lighting, and you'll plug that into the 7-way, which gives you the rest of the wiring needed to control your trailer's brakes. The correct parts are the following:

- Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # CU94FR.

- Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7

I verified with the manufacturer that the # CU94FR is the correct fit for all models of '22 Tuscon (including your hybrid), and it is a simple plug-in installation. The 7-way is included with the # ETBC7, as is the wiring, circuit breakers, and rest of the hardware needed for installation.

The 7-way will allow you to install a brake controller for your trailer brakes, as well as allow a maintenance charge for your trailer battery. If you do need a brake controller, the best option for that due to its quality, reliability, and ease of use, is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.
