Question:

Hello, i have a new 2025 Hyundai Tuscon SEL that did not come factory wired for a trailer. Can you tell me if there is a plug and play port somewhere on my car? i searched high and low in the left rear wheel well area, i can see the standard tail light wiring but no plug. if there is a port, can you tell me if there is an aftermarket harness that would plug into this, allowing me to plug in and pull a trailer. I asked my dealer but they were clueless on if this car can even be wired for a trailer. Thank you

Hello Dan,

Congrats on the new 2025 Hyundai Tucson! What is your new favorite feature?

At this time there is not any "plug-n-play" wiring for the 2025 Hyundai Tucson, I am sure the aftermarket guys are working hard to come up with a wiring harness. The vehicle must have had electrical changes from the 2024 to the 2025, so you will have to check back.

If you wanted to splice in a harness, you could go with the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236.

Looks like the frame did not change though, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C94WR that you were looking at will be a great fit!

Need a ball mount? Make sure to grab our etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball - 2" Hitch - 2-3/4" Rise - 7,500 lbs # e38NR.

What are you looking to tow with your new Tucson?

@KateF Thank you Kate, I will check that out when I get a chance and get back to you. I stopped at the parts counter at our local dealership and Hyundai actually does have the harness with module, but they want $264 for it. It plugs right into a port that’s already in the car, under the hatch where the spare tire is stored

@DanM I cannot believe they are charging that much for trailer wiring Dan! You already pay so much for the car, why not throw in the harness. I really hope the aftermarket guys get something figured out. Thanks for letting me know.
