Expert Reply:

I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75684 which is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. This trailer hitch will fit your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe as long as you don't have the dual exhaust and it doesn't requiring cutting of your rear fascia like the Curt trailer hitch does.

Then for wiring I recommend the Tekonsha T-One as we have found the Tekonsha wiring products to be the most reliable. If you have the factory tow package use part # 118258 otherwise you need part # 118415. To mount the 4-Way Flat connector to your trailer hitch you can use brackets # 18144 and # 18140 which keep you from having to drill or cut.

I would imagine that you will be using this for towing. If that is the case then you also need a ball mount, hitch pin, and pin & clip. I recommend checking out the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit # 989900 which comes with both a 1-7/8" and 2" hitch ball as well as 2 ball mounts which have a 3/4" rise/2" drop and 2-3/4" rise/4" drop. Be sure to referenced the linked ball mount article to ensure that this kit is correct for your towing application.

I have also attached some installation videos and written instructions for you.
