Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Hyundai Tucson
Question:
I purchased a e-trailer hitch for a 2012 hyundai Santa fe we ended up trading that vehicle in before we installed the hitch. We purchased a 2016 hyundai tucson and I was wondering if that same hitch would work on our new car. Im not sure what the model hitch was.

Expert Reply:
The hitches designed for the 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and the 2016 Hyundai Tucson are completely different, so the hitch from your Santa Fe won't work on the Tucson, I'm sorry to say.
For the Tucson, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75836. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system:
Trailer wiring harness, part # 118501
Ball mount, part # D-4
Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3
1-7/8 inch trailer ball # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball
