Bought this for our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. We have no intention of towing with it, we want it in case we are stuck in snow. We've had 3 blizzards so far this year.

It took me 1 hour plus to install with jack stands and 3" of additional height.
Maybe loosen up the tailpipe.
A little awkward getting the first 2 bolts in but after that "a piece of cake"!

Luckily weve not had to use it YET! Its concealed behind a trim cover most of the year so no one knows we have it. I like that its not sticking out the back all year.

I am so happy with my purchase and will definitely recommend etrailer. I was going to have a hitch dealer put one on my 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe, they wanted over $500.
I. I saved money.
2. it arrived within a few days.
3. It only took an hour to put on.
I bought the hitch cover with a light to check the wiring, since the lights on my trailer are not working.

Thank God for this hitch looks good and tucks under car bought for my trailer and cargo carrier and when not using it I'm able to put stock car cover over it to hide hitch and plug ins..
Very well made easy install and gives the most ground clearance by it's design no problems what so ever, can not say enough good about Curt all items I have bought have been great love to test and try new items from them .. so far I have been nothing but pleased

The trailer hitch and all its components I just purchased for my 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe XL V6 came just as expected for delivery. The installation guide was easy to follow and I was able to get it installed without any problem. The wire harness was plug n play besides running the power wire to the battery which was not very difficult. Thank you for this amazing product, it’ll be used for years to come.!

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe

Purchased this hitch for my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. Price was excellent on etrailer.com. Installation took me over an hour. It was the first time I installed a hitch and used a torque wrench. Getting the bolts to the specified torque is what took me the longest due to inexperience and working without a lift. Save money on the installation and do it yourself you will be happy with the end result.

I had been searching for a few years for the right hitch receiver at an affordable price when I stumbled upon the etrailer.com website. The site was easy to use and search for what I wanted and needed. After a couple of months of contemplating in purchasing this product from the sight, I did my due diligence and searched other sites for the correct product fit that met my needs and cost. The other sites couldn't match the price and product availability. In addition, the DIY videos on the etrailer.com site gave me the confidence to complete the install. From installing the hitch receiver to the connection of the 4-pole wiring kit(hint: if you're vehicle has the prewiring for towing, they have the custom kits to match). The install in total took me about 45 minutes (it helps to have the right tools as well) from prep to finish. Now that I have the capability to tow, I'm going to be able to save on the cost of rentals and now I am even looking at getting a family camping trailer, since our Santa Fe model can tow a good size one. The attached pictures show the completed install. Thanks for everything etrailer.com! You definitely found a new customer and I will be highly recommending this site to my circle of family and friends.

Etrailer is the only place that offered the hitch and information that I needed. The install was as easy as they said it would be and the hitch fit perfect. I will forever only use etrailer to get accessories for my car. Wish y'all delt with car parts I'd use y'all exclusively for those too. Awesome company guys!!!! Thank you for the simple breath of fresh air in a complex world! I'd love to submit more photos but it won't let me and I can't edit my salection the one on this is not the best



by:
2014 Hyundai Santa Fe

This product fits like a glove! I installed it with no issues on my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. Just make sure you have a second pair of hands to align the hitch as it is too heavy for one person while attempting to insert the bolts into the holes. I also love the fact that the hitch can be concealed with the factory rear bumper cover. See pics attached.

Thank you etrailer for a great product and saving me money!



by:

Very impressed. Fast delivery and easy installation. I purchased the trailer hitch, wiring harness and the two brackets to mount the plug on the hitch and everything fit perfectly. I watched a video or two before starting and all went smoothly.
I'll be back for the mount and ball once I decide what type of camper I am going to purchase. Thanks etrailer!!

Not sure that I can say any more than everyone else has. Ordering was a snap, shipping was lightning fast, and installation was a breeze. I installed it on my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited in 22 minutes by myself. The videos were 100% correct and very helpful. On a scale of 1-10, this whole process was easily a 10.

My wife and I just finished installing the Curt trailer hitch on my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. It's great to have a partner that likes to get involved in fun projects like this. I also used the Curt wiring harrnes that was specified for my car. WOW it was so easy just like all the reviews testified. We are both very pleasd with the product and most of all the CUSTOMER SERVICE. I was a former Wood shop instructor at our local high school. For 37 years I emphasized attitude, respect, responsibilty and customer service. Every staff member that I talked to was polite, respectful and knowledeable. What a refreshing experince. I have allready told many of my friends about my experience and fell good about directing them to etrailer. I will be buying my wife a 2017 Hyundai Tuson. We will defintly purchase the hitch and all the trailer accessories from etrailer. I will give my wife a hand installing her hitch. Thank you Tori @ etrailer.com! Sincerely, Dave & Deb Phoenix, AZ & Oxnard, CA

Fast shipping , exact item that was pictured on the website . Thick packaging and hitch was protected and well secured in the box (unlike the hitches I’ve ordered past from other stores). Chose Etrailer over other stores because they sent me the wrong one even though the item said it fit my vehicle . Also email communication from Etrailer was unlike any company I’ve ordered from before and showed me they care about customer satisfaction. Thanks



by:
2016 Hyundai Santa Fe

Great product! Very easy to install. I never have enough room for stuff on long trips so I bought ithe hitch and a flat cargo carrier as well. It took 90 minutes to have them both ready to go! If it won"t fit now, we have too much stuff!



by:

Great hitch for our Santa Fe. Nice clean hidden hitch installation. Thanks etrailer



by:
2015 Hyundai Santa Fe

This was one of the easiest applications I've ever done! I installed it by myself. Instructions and video were right on point. And the customer service is hands down the best! I ordered the cargo basket. I'll give reviews when i use it. Awesome product awesome place to do business with!

by:

The product is awesome but I’m surprised it came in one piece. UPS is a terrible shipping service. The box was all tore up. I don’t understand how a box can take on that much damage and the product still intact.



by:
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe

So easy to install by one person. Excellent product/design.
Very, very happy with the price, delivery timing - installation/look!!!

Pix are of final install on 2013 Hyundai LWB Santa Fe w/cover.

Great experience, both with this hitch and with etrailer.

Very easy to install. Didn't require dropping the exhaust at all. Everything fit perfectly. Very happy.



by:
2018 Hyundai Santa Fe

Looks and works great! The instructions were clear and even pointed out some possible sticking points and what to do about it. I love that the trim piece can be reinstalled and you would never know the receiver was ever installed.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring For 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL Limited Ultimate Edition
    I recommend the Curt Class III trailer hitch part # C13153 for the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL Limited Ultimate. I confirmed with Curt that the hitch has been test fitted on your model Hyundai Santa Fe. It is also a concealed cross tube design so the only portion of the hitch visible is the receiver tube which a lot of customers like because it looks sleek and doesn't look like an obvious after market part. The wiring harness that you need is Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory...

    For your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe XL Limited I recommend starting with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # C13153.

For your wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56184 to get your 4-way and then add the Universal Brake Controller Wiring Kit # ETBC7 Kit to get your 7-way.

    Although I wouldn't necessarily recommend using a Hyundai for towing applications, I certainly respect your brand loyalty.

According to the manufacturer, the Santa Fe is capable of towing up to 5,000 lbs which is the highest of all Hyundai models. In order to begin towing, you will need a trailer hitch receiver such as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C56184 if...

  • Mounting Location for 7-Way Connector on 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe SE with Curt Trailer Hitch
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13153 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe SE, is indeed pretty hidden behind the rear fascia when installed on the vehicle. With that being said, there should be enough room directly to the left or right of the receiver to mount the 7-Way from # ETBC7 to the hitch cross tube. The # ETBC7 Wiring Kit includes a mounting bracket for the connector and you can add the Tow Ready # 18140 or long # C57202 for a no-drill...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4 Bike Rack Fit For a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13153 is a great choice for your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL. It has a maximum tongue weight of 900lbs which is going to be plenty for a 4 bike hitch rack. The receiver pin to bumper length is 4-1/2" and this will help you choose the right bike rack. The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22G-NA22G is a great platform rack that will carry 4 bikes. It uses a wheel mount system that fits 25-29" wheels. A Bike Adapter # 016-025-00-00 will allow you to fit 20-24" wheels...

    For your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe you'd want the 2 inch hitch part # C13153 which is confirmed to fit. You didn't mention what hitch size your bike rack was designed for but in case it's a T2 designed only for 1-1/4 inch hitches you'd also wan the part # HT02 to reduce it to this size and you'd be set! Let me know what bike rack you have or send a picture if you still aren't sure what you need.

  • Recommended Hitch for Towing Travel Trailer with 2013 Santa Fe XL
    There are three hitches compatible with your Santa Fe XL. All three hitches have a capacity that meets or exceeds the towing capacity of your vehicle, so capacity isn't an issue. The Curt Class III, part # C13153 is constructed of square tubing. The receiver opening and the entire crosstube would be visible from the rear of the vehicle. The Hidden Hitch # 87637 and the Draw-Tite # 75776 are identical. They are made by the same parent company, have the same capacities and would install...

  • Could a Weight Distribution System be Used with 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
    With a hitch installed like the Curt part # C13153 you'd have the ability to use a weight distribution system like you are interested in but you need to determine the weight of your trailer when loaded and make sure it's also under the towing capacity of your vehicle to be certain. The overall towing capacity of a vehicle is the lowest rated component in the setup. The Curt hitch I mentioned would easily be able to tow a 5,000 lb trailer if needed but you need to make sure you are under...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
    If you stay under the 5,000 lb towing capacity of your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe it will be just fine as that's what Hyundai determined to be a safe amount of weight to tow. The Curt hitch part # C13153 would be a great option with more than enough capacity as well. It's a confirmed fit for your vehicle. For trailer wiring then you'd want the part # C56184 which is also a confirmed fit.

I reached out to my tech contact at Curt and this hitch is the only confirmed fit they have for your Sport model because it has a wider frame than the SE and Limited. The Curt # C13153 is not compatible at all and not only due to the bumper or skid plate. For your trailer wiring, I recommend the 4 Pole Trailer Connector (Includes Install Kit) # C59496.
