For your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport the most popular hitch option is # C13152. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver rated for 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight. I have included a link to a video that shows an example installation for you.

For a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118571 to add a 4-Way flat connector at the back of your Santa Fe.

I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
