Question:
Can the spare tire under the car Santa Fe 2022 PHEV be re-installed with the hitch in place or is there not enough room for both?
asked by: Charles
Expert Reply:
It sure can Charles. Your spare tire only has to be removed for the installation of the TowSmart Hitch item # TS44ZR. Once you get the hitch all bolted up you'll be able to rehang your spare.
The TowSmart Hitch item # TS44ZR is custom fit for all models of the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe and is compatible with the PHEV trim. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 675 lbs. It'll work great for towing a trailer or hauling an accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
We've actually installed the TowSmart item # TS44ZR on a 2022 Santa Fe and made an installation video. I have linked it below and attached a couple of pictures so you can see what it looks like installed.
What do you plan on using your new hitch for?
