Expert Reply:

Currently the only receivers available for your 2008 Hyundai Sonata are class I like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11325. This is mostly due to your Sonata having a maximum towing capability of 200lbs tongue weight and 2,000lbs or total trailer weight. Be sure to check your owners manual for your maximum towing capacity. Curt recommends using the Ball Mount # C45521 in the rise position. You will be able to use either a 1-7/8" Ball # C40001 or 2" Ball # C40018 with the U-Haul trailer. A Pin & Clip # F-4 is needed to hold the ball mount in the receiver.

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118433 will give you a 4-way flat connector for the lights on the U-Haul trailer.

Depending on the weight of your wheelchair you will likely need Trailer # K2MMT4X6 to haul it as your Sonata has the maximum tongue weight of 200lbs. Most of your wheelchair lifts will require a 2" receiver which is not available for your Sonata.
