Class III or Class II Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
Updated 05/28/2020 | Published 05/27/2020 >
Question:
I have a 2013 Hyundai Sante Fe Sport. If I want to carry a bike rack w/ 3 bikes and perhaps pull a 5x8 Uhaul empty 900 lbs at another time do I need the Curt Class 2 or class 3 hitch.Idont see a difference in the load weight and pulling capacity.

Expert Reply:
A Class II or III hitch would work fine for what you are planning to do with your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport but since the Class III hitch has the 2 inch opening size which has more racks and accessories made for it that is the size I always recommend when available. So for that the etrailer hitch # e98841 would be the way to go.
For a 3 bike rack the Swagman Trailhead part # S63365 is a really great option too.
