Question:

I see there are a couple of hitch options for the 2013-2014 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS/Limited models. The vehicle has a removable panel designed to cover the hitch when not in use. Since it has the panel I want to make use of it, but I am not finding very good indications from the listings of which hitch or hitches will fit behind this panel, and which will hang below the bumper reducing my departure angle and detracting from the visual appeal of the vehicle. Are there photos of the units installed on this model which will show if the hitch can be hidden behind this panel? Thank you!

Expert Reply:

The Draw Tite Hitch part # 75776 that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a hitch for your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe and it will utilize the access door in your rear bumper. I wish I had a picture of this that I could show you, but we have not installed this hitch on a vehicle yet so we don't have any currently.

For trailer wiring you would want the Curt Harness part # C56184.

For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.
