Hi Amy!
I can definitely help you get everything you need to flat tow your 2017 Hyundai Accent SRT Sport Hatchback, but I do need to note that it must be a manual transmission model. The automatic options cannot be flat towed. With that in mind, I have a full set up below:
Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2338
Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar - Coupler Style for 2" Ball - Car Mount - 5,000 lbs # BX4330 (includes safety cables)
Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267
If you wanted the tow bars to install in a hitch instead of on a 2" ball, you could go with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates - w/Safety Cables - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 6K lbs # e47ZR instead. It is more expensive, but I think it's worth it.
The last part you will need is a breaking system. There are a few options for this and the following are my go to systems. The Blue Ox is a portable system and the two Demco systems are permanent set ups. I prefer permanent, but that's just my opinion.
Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional # BLU37TR (will need 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332)
Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # SM99251
Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes - Proportional # SM99243
What kind of RV will you be towing your Accent with?
