In order to install an electrical hookup with a brake controller kit on your 2009 Hyundai Sante Fe, you will need the following parts:
- Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56346 (if your vehicle has the factory tow package) or # C56078 (if your does not have the factory tow package).
- Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7
- Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles # 90885 (for standard controller) or the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 (for wireless controller)
Out of the two controllers, I recommend the Podigy P2 because of the reliability of the controller. It completely eliminates the risk of having to deal with issues related to the Blutooth connection to your smartphone.
With these options, you will be able to tow a trailer with braking control on your 2009 Hyundai Sante Fe. If you need a hitch receiver, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75471. The Draw-Tite hitch will provide you with 3,500 pounds of maximum gross trailer weight capacity. According to my research, your 2009 Hyundai Sante Fe has a towing weight range of 1,650 to 3,500 pounds (depending on your specific model). I recommend consulting with your owner's manual to make sure you do not exceed the maximum towing capacity of your vehicle.
