Question:

I will be adding a hitch to my 2022 Tucson PHEV. I am considering towing a TAG XL trailer. I will need a 2 ball but I dont know which size ball mount I will need. Any suggestions?

For a hitch for your 2022 Hyundai Tucson PHEV we have the Curt # C94WR which would work really well as it's mostly hidden and has great towing capacities, but for picking out a ball mount that's the correct rise/drop the key is going with a ball mount that will allow the trailer to tow as level as possible. I did some research on the Tag XL trailer and it's coupler height is going to be right around 18-1/2 to 19 inches when measured from bottom lip of it down to the ground.

When we installed the # C94WR on a similar 22' Tucson we found that from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground measured 14-1/2 inches so you'd need to go with a ball mount that has right at 4 inches of rise like the Curt # C45070 with a 2 inch ball like the # 63845 and you'd be set.

Only other thing you are going to need is trailer wiring which for that you'd want the # CU94FR which is the most reliable and easiest to install.
