The trailer hitches we have available do not include a trailer wiring harness.

For your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Ultimate, I recommend the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13153. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. This will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening that will work great for hitch-mounted accessories or a ball mount for towing. I have attached an installation video on the 2017 model, along with the written instructions that you can take a look at.

You will only need to install a wiring harness on your Santa Fe if you plan on using the hitch to tow a trailer, as you will need to be able to activate its basic signal lights.

If you do plan on towing, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56332 if your Limited Ultimate is equipped with the factory tow package, or the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56184 if you do not have the tow package. Either harness will easily install by using built-in ports on the vehicle and provide you with a 4-Way connector to connect with the trailer.

In order to tow a trailer, you will also need a ball mount. I have attached a great article that explains how to choose the best one for your setup, along with a link that will take you to our available selection.
