Question:
Can you tell me exactly what I need to buy for a 2005 Hyundai Tucson? I need to tow a rental trailer and know nothing about trailer hitches. So far, it looks like I want the Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver. But what else do I need exactly? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
You will need five separate parts to tow a trailer with your 2005 Hyundai Tuscon. You will need a trailer hitch, a ballmount, a pin & clip, a hitch ball, and a wiring harness. You have 7 different hitch options for your Tuscon. I would recommend purchasing and installing a hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening over a smaller 1-1/4 inch hitch opening; the larger hitch will give you a lot more options for accessories. Also, we happen to have a very competitively priced Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 13526, available for your vehicle. It is actually lower in cost than other Class II hitches. With the Curt Class III hitch, mentioned above, you would need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, part # 118397, Ball Mount 3/4 inch Rise or 2 inch Drop, 7,500 lbs, part # C45010, the Class III Pin & Clip, part # PC3, and a 2 inch Hitch Ball, part # 63845 or 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, part # 19260, depending on which size ball the coupler on the rental trailer requires.
