Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2007 Hyundai Azera

Question:

Do you have recommended dealers or individuals who install and or periodically inspect and maintain this product? Is this the maximum weight bearing for my vehicle? What does the 200 lb limit refer to? Bikes? Small platforms for luggage or building material transport? Thank you for getting back to me asap.

Any trusted mechanic or RV dealer with a service center could install Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24771 on your 2007 Hyundai Azera. There really isn't much to maintain after installation. You can periodically check to make sure the bolts are still properly torqued down. And if the hitch gets any corrosion forming on it you will want to clean it off and use some spray paint to keep it from spreading.

You will want to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Hyundai for the towing capacity of your specific vehicle. Not all vehicles have this information in the owners manual and if that is the case you would then contact Hyundai.

The 200 pound capacity is the tongue weight capacity. Tongue weight is the amount of weight pushing down vertically on the hitch. Anything you use the hitch for will have some amount of tongue weight.

If you plan on using this hitch for towing you will need a ball mount. For a trailer that uses a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # 118413. I have included some helpful links to the right for you as well.
