Trailer Hitch Installation - 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe - Video

Alright, today we are going to install part number 75471 from Draw-Tite and we will be installing this on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. This also applies to hidden hitch number 87414. It is a relatively easy hitch to install. It attaches at 2 points right here, at these 2 threaded holes inside the frame. They are going to be identical on both sides of the vehicle. So first thing we will want to do, even though this is a new vehicle, is take some time out to run the bolts in and out just to make sure that you do not have any dust or road grime in there. more

This install will also cover Draw-Tite part # 24757. The first step involved is gaining access to your vehicle, the second step is we can hang the hitch on the tie down loop in the center of the vehicle. This will hold the hitch up while we get the other bolts in. Go ahead and snug up the bolts, but make sure the hitch can still move about. The reason why I left the hitch loose is so we can move this hitch around so we can get to our mounting hole, which is right here. That we way we can move it around and get our hitch in the right spot and put our bolt in. Again we follow the same principles on the other side, you leave it loose so we can move it around, get a good idea of where its supposed to go and thread your bolt in. Snug the bolts down as tight as you can with your fingers then snug it up with a wrench more
