Will etrailer Trailer Hitch Installation be Different on a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
Question:
My 21 Hyundai Santa Fe is a hybrid. I wonder whether the hybrid has different installation factors to be considered? And what is meant by minor installation trtm may be needed?

The installation of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e28AR on a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe will be the same whether it's a hybrid or not. We actually did our installation video on a 2021 Santa Fe Hybrid that I'm linking for you to check out.
When we mention some trimming may be required that has to do with how far down the rear bumper fascia sits. Some models may sit slightly lower but in our video on a 2021 Hybrid we didn't have to cut the fascia so odds are you're good to go!
If you were also looking to add some wiring I recommend checking out the T-Connector # CU94FR along with the mounting brackets # 18136 and # 18144 so you can secure the 4-Way next to your hitch receiver.
To complete a towing setup I recommend the etrailer 2-3/4" Rise or 4" Drop Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4 but if you were looking at using the hitch for a bike rack I recommend the Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack # TH83GC. The ball mount bike has some adjustability for different trailers while the bike rack is a solid mid-range rack that secures bikes by the wheels.
Attached are installation and review videos for you to check out.
