We definitely have what you need to equip your 2020 Hyundai Palisade with a 7-Way connector, however there isn't a single part number available for this vehicle to accomplish this.
You will instead need to start by adding a 4-Way harness (if there's not one already present). For this the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR will work perfectly. This custom harness will plug right into an existing port behind the Palisade's rear bumper on the driver's side. I have attached an install video that you can follow along with.
Then with the 4-Way installed you can upgrade it to the needed 7-Way. The best route for doing this depends on exactly what you're needing to power on the trailer.
If the trailer has a 7-Way connector but you only need to power its signal lights (the trailer doesn't have electric brakes), then the easiest solution is with a 4-Way to 7-Way adapter like # C57672. This will plug into the 4-Way itself and provide you with a 7-Way at the other end. The additional blue, black, and yellow wires coming from the adapter can just be capped off as they aren't needed, while the white wire just gets attached to a clean metal surface for ground.
Now if the trailer IS equipped with electric brakes I recommend using the Wiring Kit # ETBC7L instead, which includes the new 7-Way but also the needed wiring for activating the 7-Way's 12V circuit. This allows you to add and use the Curt Echo # C51180, which is the brake controller I recommend for the Palisade.
With the 7-Way wired up and in place, the Curt Echo simply gets plugged into it and is paired to your smart phone via Bluetooth. This offers a much easier install/setup than traditional brake controllers and unlike most others, eliminates the need for you to wire or mount an additional component inside the vehicle as well. This is because your phone is what is used to adjust any settings or activate the manual override (emergency brake).
I have attached a short video review on the Echo below that you can also check out.

Hi, I have a Palisade Limited 2020 with the original 4-Way connector installed. So need only 1 Power wire from the battery? Please advise. Thx

The video attached for installing the Wiring Kit # ETBC7L shows the installation on a Toyota, which is set up differently than my 2020 Hyundai Palisade. Do you know if there's a video that would show how to install the Wiring Kit # ETBC7L on a 2020 Hyundai Palisade? Thank you.

I just had a Curt hitch and wiring installed on my Palisade. I couldn't find where the installer (a Curt Platinum installer) attached to the battery, so I asked that he come out and show me. Turns out there is a power wire already run to the back from the factory. He pointed out the 40A fuse in the fuse box under the hood labeled "Trailer". I assume if Hyundai provided a circuit with a 40 amp fuse it would be sufficient gauge to safely carry the current. This is much better than running your own wire - as part of a factory wiring loom it would be much better protected.
