Hitch for 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe to Allow Use of Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack
Question:
What hitch is recommended for use with Swagman XTC-2 on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe? Will I be able to open the hatch with the bike rack in place and of course not with bikes

Expert Reply:
The Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670 that you referenced offers the versatility to work with either a 1-1/4-inch or 2-inch size hitch receiver.
As it happens, all of the hitches we offer for your car are the sturdier 2-inch Class III variety and this is a good thing as it means the rack will not overload the hitch's capacity. As all three available hitches have the same capacity, I suggest the lowest-price unit from Curt, part # 13538.
I have linked you to the written instructions and also to a video for this hitch, which shows its installation in your same vehicle year and model. Two helpful articles on hitch installation are linked at right.
