Finding Sway Control When Towing with 2011 Hyundai Veracruz

The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # 13545 is confirmed to fit your 2011 Hyundai Veracruz but it won't offer anything in the way of sway control when towing a trailer. The best way to add sway control to your setup when towing a trailer is with a complete weight distribution with an integrated sway control design.

Because this Curt hitch isn't rated for use with a weight distribution system, I actually recommend going with the Draw-Tite Class III Hitch # 75532 instead, which is rated for use with a WD system and will work perfectly on your vehicle.

To pick out the right system you will need to first determine the total tongue weight of your towing setup. This number includes both the loaded tongue weight of the trailer you plan on pulling plus the weight of any added cargo stored behind the rear axle of your Veracruz. Ideally this number falls comfortably within the operating range of the system you choose.

If you can tell me the tongue weight of the trailer or even its GVWR (the trailer's total max weight) then I will be happy to make a specific recommendation. I have also attached a couple of great articles on this subject that you might find helpful as well.
