Question:

I did a short search for a trailer hitch for a 2003 hyundai santa fe and didnt really have any luck. I saw some for the 2013-14s but do you have anything for the 2003 models? mine has the full sized spare under the back bumper.

Expert Reply:

We do indeed have a hitch available for your 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 41543. This hitch offers a 3,500 pound towing capacity with a tongue weight capacity of 315 pounds. I am including a video of our team installing this hitch on a 2003 Santa Fe with the full size spare under the back bumper.

Our installers recommend using a little spray lubricant and a 1/2 nylon tube brush like # 814092 to clean up the threads on the vehicle where the hitch will mount so the new hardware will go in nice and smoothly.

If you are looking to tow with your Santa Fe, we also offer everything needed to get you ready.
Tow Ready Custom Fit Wiring, # 118473, to be able to operate tail and brake lights on a trailer.
