The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe is the Class III Curt Trailer Hitch # C13195 because we have found that Curt tends to have the best weld jobs and a thicker powder coat so they are more durable than most other options out there. I have attached a sample installation video and some pictures you can check out.

If you plan on using the trailer hitch for towing, then you'll need the wiring kit # CU94FR along with a ball mount kit like part # 989900. The wiring gives you a 4-Way connector for basic trailer light wiring while the ball mount kit includes two ball mounts, one with a 3/4” rise/2” drop and the other with a 2-3/4” rise/4” drop, a 1-7/8” hitch ball, a 2” hitch ball, and a pin and clip. You will want to refer to the attached ball mount article to ensure that this kit is correct for your towing application.

Should you be getting the trailer hitch so that you can use a hitch mount bike rack then I recommend going with the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV for a few different reasons. It can carry up to 2 bikes weighing in at 60 lbs per bike, it has the ability to expand to a 4-bike rack (weigh capacity increases to 160 lbs total), it is made in the USA and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, plus it is compatible with any bike frame style that doesn't have front fenders.

I have attached some additional installation and review videos for you to reference.
