Hyundai made it extremely easy to install a hitch and wiring on the Tucson. It took me about 30 minutes to install the Curt hitch and trailer wiring that I got from etrailers.com, just under $300.
The hitch installs with six 17mm bolts into nuts that are welded into the frame, torqued to 48ft-pounds. There is one piece of plastic trim under the rear bumper that is removed and not used once the hitch is installed. The muffler does not need to be loosened or moved.
What makes the wiring install so easy is that Hyundai installed the wiring connecter just behind the drivers side rear wheel, just hanging there ready to use.
Just remove the blue tape and cover protecting the connector. Plug in the one on the wiring kit from Curt, insert the fuse, secure everything under the rear bumper and done.
