Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2011 Hyundai Veracruz  

Question:

I have a 2011 Hyundai Veracruz AWD Limited with the 3.8L engine. I do not currently have any tow options on the vehicle from the factory. I would like a basic tow setup that allows lighting and brake use on lighter trailers. I will not exceed 300lb tongue weight or 3000lb total weight towing. I am looking at the following products: 75532 tow hitch 2 118269 wiring harness 39523 brake controller Do I need anything else to have a functional setup? For some reason it added automatically or I misclicked item 20127. Is that necessary? Thank you!

For a trailer hitch for your 2011 Hyundai Veracruz the Draw Tite part # 75532 is the correct hitch to use.

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56332.

From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. If you went with the # 39523 that you mentioned you would also need the part # 20127 as well. The P2 comes with basically the same harness.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
