Expert Reply:
For your 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13505. The reason I recommend this trailer hitch for you is because the receiver tube opening is only recessed 3" behind the rear bumper so there should be absolutely no issue with using a hitch mounted bike rack. This trailer hitch is also a custom fit that does not require any drilling as it installs using pre drilled holes in the frame rail.

The hitch example that conner sent me looked nice and I watched the installation video, which brought up another questions In the video they removed the rear tow hitch rings but didnt replace them. Why, and how would they tow it without the hitch rings? Also I forgot to state that the bike rack I have is 1.25 inch square tube rack with a 5/8inch attachment/secure hole and a 1inch rack lock pin hole about 1inch distance from hole to hole. Do you sell a 2inch to 1 1/4inch hitch reducer that would fit my bike rack.
