Is a Lift Required to Install a Hitch on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited
Question:
Im moderately handy with cars but I dont have many car tools and nothing resembling a lift other than a fairly standard jack. How would I go about installing a hitch without a lift? What tools would I need? I have a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. Thanks,

You wouldn't need a lift to install a trailer hitch on your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. Since the hitches for your vehicle like the part # 75776 basically just bolt right to the frame of the vehicle which is raised off the ground a reasonable amount you may not even need the jack.
I attached an install video for the hitch for you to check out as well. We use lifts in our videos to make the filming process easier.
All you would need is a 17 and 19 mm wrench to install this hitch. To make things as easy as possible the vehicle ramp set part # FT11909MI would make getting additional room under the vehicle very easy.
