Hitch, Brake Controller, and Wiring Recommendation for a 2013 Hyundai Tucson
Question:
I have a 2013 Hyundai Tucson AWD 4 Cyl. I will be pulling a popup camper that has a weight of just under 2,000 lbs. I will need a Hitch, wiring, and break controller. Can you please supply me your recommendations? Thank You,

First let's start with a hitch, for that I would recommend the Curt Class III hitch part # C13120. Check out the install video I attached.
For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.
For trailer wiring you will need to start with a 4-way. For that you would want the Harness part # 118501.
Now to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and install a brake controller you will need the part # ETBC7. This comes with everything needed. Install video and instructions are attached to the right.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
Lastly you will want to check your owners manual to determine what the capacities are for your vehicle and be sure not to exceed them.
