Expert Reply:

The components needed to tow a trailer include a trailer hitch receiver, ball mount, pin and clip, trailer hitch ball, and a wiring harness. I have included an article which covers this.

To get your 2007 Hyundai Sonata ready for towing, I recommend the following:

Trailer Hitch - Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 24757. This is a custom fit hitch offering a 2,000 lb towing capacity and bolt-on installation. No drilling or welding is required.

Ball Mount - Sportframe Drawbar, # 3592.

Pin and Clip - Included with part # 3592.

Hitch Ball - # 19258 for 2 inch or # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch.

Wiring Harness - T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118433, if your vehicle isn't already equipped with a 4 way trailer connector.

I have included a couple installation videos for you to check out.

I always like to remind everyone to check your owner's manual to determine the towing capacity of their vehicle before towing. You are always limited by the lowest rated component in your towing setup.
