For your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate I recommend the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13195 that offers the highest capacity for your vehicle and is assembled right here in the USA. Your Santa Fe Ultimate and the XL model do actually require different trailer hitch models because of how the rear frame/bumper differs between the two.

I have attached an image a generous customer sent in of this very hitch on his 2019 Santa Fe Ultimate that you can check out to see exactly what it will look like on your vehicle. He reported that the hitch fit perfectly and no trimming of the bumper fascia was needed.

For your Santa Fe Ultimate the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118784 will work perfectly. This custom harness will plug right into the factory port under the vehicle (on the driver side) to provide you with a 4-Way connector to power a trailer's basic signal lights. I have attached an installation video that you can follow along with. Since it sounds like you're going to do some towing you will also need a ball mount and hitch ball if you don't have them already. The etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit # 989900 is a really great option that includes two ball mounts with varying rise/drops, two different hitch balls (1-7/8" and 2"), pin and clips, and a convenient carrying bag. I have attached an article on selecting the right ball mount for your particular setup that you can look through as well to make sure the included units feature the needed rise or drop.
