Hello Tom, thanks for getting in touch. The Curt Hitch # C37RV for the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid will allow you to store the full size 29" spare under the vehicle. You will want to temporarily lower the spare to free up space during installation, but once the hitch is on the spare will go right back in place.

The video below will show you a complete installation on a 2024 Santa Fe. Feel free to reach out and reply below with any other questions.

Hey Tom, how did things go with the Curt hitch on your Santa Fe Hybrid? Was there enough clearance for the full-size 29-inch spare once everything was in place? Your update could make it easier for the next person working on the same setup.

@JesseM No, I'm afraid the Curt hitch did not have enough clearance for the full-size spare. The OEM Hyundai hitch does, however, so I went with that.

@Tom Ah dang sorry to hear that but I do appreciate you sharing because this is definitely good to know. We may need to update our notes for these hitches. Glad to hear the OEM hitch worked at least. Do feel free to come back if you ever need anything else!
