Hitch for Hyundai Veracruz. Aftermarket like Drawtite or Genuine Hyundai at dealer? Warranty issues? What looks better?

Getting a hitch for 2008 Veracruz. What is better and why: Aftermarket like Drawtite Class III or Genuine from Hyundai class II (only available). I was told the non Hyundai aftermarket would negate any Hyundai warranty for electrical system as aftermarket would splice into converter box. Which is more hidden?

Sounds like a Class III hitch would be overkill for that vehicle anyway. You can't tow 5000 lbs with your vehicle. So if the Drawtite costs more and jeopardizes the electrical part of your warranty, I think the answer is pretty clear---go with the Hyundai part. You are limited to 3500 lbs and 350 lb tongue weight.
