Buying a 2019 Santa Fe and will need to have a 2 inch receiver hitch installed. Who do you go to other than U Haul. Thanks.
Jim at Custom Hitch did my hitch on my Dodge Ram after the one that came with the truck almost broke free. They are behind Luxton fair grounds.

I never get my tires wet either, even at Cates park, but I do have a 3' hitch extention I can use if I ever have to, I pack it with my whenever I go to a launch I haven't used or if it's an extremely low tide. I was surprised how well my santa fe tows actually, but it's extra nice living in the city and not having to park a truck.My only worry about a Santa Fe woudl be clearance.
95% of the time I can launch my boat without the tires even touching the water. That includes launches like Kitty Coleman and Point Holmes. BUT I have had a couple times where I had to go a lot deeper than I wanted based on certain tides, conditions, etc. Because I have a 1/2 ton, aside from tires and rims, nothing else got wet (with the exception of spray) but have to wonder, with a midsized SUV, in some situations I imagine you would get a lot more of the vehicle salty than one would want...
...But I guess that also depends on the launches used. No need at good launches to ever get even the tires wet...
Side Note: Last weekend at Kitty, I saw a man with a Chevy Astro launching. He was having trouble getting off the trailer. His front bumper was literally touching water. OUCH. Can't imagine all the places the salt found with that launch!
