Helpful Expert Reply:

The easiest and most accurate way to determine if your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe has the factory tow package is to simply run by your local Hyundai dealer with your VIN. With this information they will be able to tell you with certainty whether or not your particular model Santa Fe is equipped with the tow package.

The trailer wiring harnesses available for your Santa Fe do differ in how they install depending on if you have the tow package or not. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56332 is for models with the tow package and will plug into factory ports located along the frame rail at the rear of the vehicle. You can also check to see if these plugs are present on your vehicle to determine if you have the tow package. I have attached an image of these ports that you can check out as well.

If you find that you do not have the factory tow package then I recommend the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C56184 instead. This will plug into factory ports located in the rear cargo area. I have attached an installation video that you can use for reference.

I need an adapter or harness. I have Hyundai 2015 with a 4 pin, the trailer has a 7 blade. What do I need?

If you only need to power the trailer's signal lights (it isn't equipped with electric brakes) then you can use a simple adapter like the Tow Ready # 30717. This will plug into the existing 4-Way on your Santa Fe to provide you with a 7-way to connect with the trailer. The white wire needs to be attached to a bare metal surface for ground but the additional blue, black, and yellow wires can just be capped off.

@ChrisR what if I would like to change it to a 7 pin with brake controller, is the 2015 Santa Fe (with tow package) pre-wired fro the battery to the back or do I need to run a wire separately? Thanks

@CK You will need to run a power wire from the battery in your Santa Fe back to the 7-Way. If you don't have any wiring yet then you need a 4-Way # 118269 and the Wiring Kit # ETBC7 so you can install a brake controller.
