Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Hyundai Tucson for Towing
Question:
I plan to do some towing with my 2018 Hyundai Tucson, what trailer hitch and wiring should I get?

For your 2018 Hyundai Tucson the trailer hitch I recommend is the Draw Tite part # 75836 because it has the best towing capacities, is easy to install and has a concealed crosstube which means it will be less visible. I attached a picture to show you what it looks like installed and a link to an install video for you to check out as well.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the T-One kit part # 118501 which is a custom fit which means the install won't require splicing and because it has the most reliable converter box of the kits we offer.
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.
