Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability.

In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

Fitment was good. Video was helpful, you will struggle on final bolt above muffler. I was lucky I had access to lift, otherwise would have been a lot more difficult with limited room on your back. I would recommend etrailer add a rubber grommet device to be installed to orient rattling of muffler on bolt head on bumpy road. I utilized rubber grommet that was required to be removed from frame and glued with gorilla glue to help eliminate problem. Directions state to bend mount down 5 degrees; however, next to impossible and you take the chance of breaking factory mount.

Works as expected and no issues. Great for attaching rack for extra baggage. Keep in mind you’ll need to get an additional receiver to keep it from dragging on the ground for the Kia. Low to the ground, no fault of eTrailer but Kia is low to ground.

2022 Hyundai Santa Fe

Excellent fit for my 2023 Hyundai Sante Fe Calligraphy. I took a chance as the car was so new and the Draw tight model fit both the 22 and 23 and the e trailer brand had not been certified yet to fit the 23. I can attest that not only does it fit but looks excellent.

This product has towed small trailers and my 2 bike rack flawlessly. I’m thrilled with the quality, price point, and easy installation.



by:

Shipping was fast arrived 2 days after ordering. I watched how-to video on website prior to ordering and took less than 1 hour to install in my carport. Also ordered wiring kit with hitch. Very pleased with purchase.



by:

The trailer hitch from E TRAILER was a perfect fit for my 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy, easy to put on , instructions were great , it took me working of the ground two hours .little effort putting the bolts on above the muffler.all and all GREAT !!thank you George J.

2022 Hyundai Santa Fe

The hitch was an exact fit for my vehicle. No drilling or modifications required. Highly recommend this product. Easy installation.

Terry

The hitch matched up perfectly with my vehicle. The installation was simple and easy to accomplish. I saved hundreds of dollars purchasing this product through etrailer. I can now use my SUV to haul our trailer and golf cart camping.



by:

I purchased an etrailer 2 inch receiver hitch to put on our car and it looks great- well constructed and easy to install. Would definitely recommend this hitch!! Thanks William and crew for a great product!



by:

Solid hitch, easy installation. I use it for a bike rack for two bikes and it's great. Have it on two different vehicles, Hyundai Santa Fe and a Santa Cruz. Looks OEM, sits up tight near the bumper, does protrude past the bumper.
Buy/borrow a muffler hanger tool and it makes it even easier.



by:

Arrived very quick. Great installation instructions that include pictures. Had it installed within 2 hours of the delivery. Highly recommend using a tap to clean out the mounting threads in the car frame. Makes the installation much easier. Car is less than a year old, but the threads in the car frame have paint in them from the manufacturer.



by:

The hitch receiver was a perfect fit. Installation video was great in showing the installation. Order was processed and delivered quickly.



by:
2022 Kia Sorento

Great hitch and product! Delivery super quick. I was able to install without much issue. Recommend having a spare set of hands when mounting and using a thread set to clear paint from bolt threads. Paint build up made tightening difficult on a few bolts. Install instructions and the video were super helpful. Highly recommend for a cost effective, strong hitch option!



by:

Fast shipping, perfect fit, high quality and great instructions.



by:
2024 Kia Sorento

I installed the hitch by myself (with no hitch jack) in about 1 1/2 hours.
The only reason to drop the muffler was to install the bolt over the muffler.
I LIKE IT.
Now ….. if you just have a trailer light kit that will plugin to the factory trailer plugs that are located in the bumper above the hitch receiver, Just Saying



by:

I have bought several trailer hitch receivers and the ship them fast and I would rate the AAA+++ with there products and service. I will buy from them anytime before I buy from anyone else, Thanks.

Great, I buy all my trailer parts from etrailer. Highly recommended.



by:
2023 Hyundai Santa Fe

Couldn’t have been much easier. Remove the plastic cover under the left rear of the vehicle (3 push pins and 2 14mm plastic nuts), remove the cap on the factory harness, plug in the new harness and secure the wires as you see fit. There’s no instructions for wire storage or how to route them, but it’s very simple - use common sense - plenty of YouTubes.



by:
2023 Hyundai Santa Fe

Love the hitch, it's solid, fits nicely under my Santa Fe. The only negativity is, that it does not have a welded on bracket to hold the plug for the wiring harness. Otherwise, it's a great product.



by:

Installed the hitch and wiring harness in my garage by myself in a afternoon. The online videos are a great help. Let's you know what to do exactly. Fit perfectly. Great price.



by:
2023 Hyundai Santa Fe

Ordering was easy and shipping was fast. The installation video was very helpful. The hitch came with everything needed which made the installation easy.



by:
Hyundai Santa Fe

Fast and easy installation. Did it myself. Took me a bit to remove exhaust hanger rods from rubber isolator on my 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Limited. But overall it took less than 45 minutes by myself without jacking up or lifting my vehicle. I have bought all my vehicle hitches from etrailer. They are fast on delivery and great customer service.



by:
2023 Hyundai Santa Fe

Where to start? Quick delivery of only 3 days. Box was a little beat up but that is the result of delivery people. Hitch is of top quality in looks and build materials and very fair price. You will definitely need an additional set of hands to hold into place during install. Make sure to have your tools you need ready like 1/2" drive socket and extensions. you will also need a torque wrench to install correctly. I'm 65 years old and my wife and I installed this in less than 2 hours. Most of the time was searching for my torque wrench!



by:
Hyundai Santa Fe

Took the trailer hitch to my local mechanic and he said it was the easiest install. Fit perfectly on my 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid



by:

Worked out great. Easy to install. I Have used it many times with no problems. A little bit low on the connection but that is because the hitch sits below the bumper where built-in hitches usually are installed in the bumper.



by:
Hyundai Santa Fe

I recently purchased a new vehicle and needed a new Class 3 receiver for my Santa Fe. It was so easy to find the right receiver for my vehicle on the trailer.com website! The website is easy to navigate through and find the exact equipment for your particular vehicle. Everything you need to do and find to get the proper merchandise is easy with etrailer.com!



by:

The entire process of purchasing and having the new hitch installed was seamless.
Customer service at etrailer helped us decide on the best hitch for our car, ordering and delivery kept us informed, and we found an excellent business to install the hitch using our website. My husband was very apprehensive but they far exceeded our expectations



by:

Fit perfectly and had zero issues installing on an 2024 Kia Sorento. Installation was exactly as described in the instructions. Took about an hour start/finish.



by:
2024 Kia Sorento

The product was easy to research and purchase. It was delivered as described with no issues. The how-to video and instructions were easy to follow. I was able to install at home with no issues. Greatly appreciate the e-trailer website and the staff behind it.

  • Does Installation of etrailer Hitch on 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Require Trimming and Lowering Exhaust
    Looking at the installation instructions, as well as the video, trimming will not be required for the installation of the # e28AR. It appears as though the removal of panels only applies to the Kia Sorento, not your 2023 Santa Fe. However, you will have to lower the exhaust to be able to access the weld nuts. I have attached the installation video below, along with the written instructions for your reference.

    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e28AR you were looking at is confirmed to fit all models of the 2021 Kia Sorento so it will fit your Hybrid model perfectly. This hitch will install the same way on your hybrid as other models. If you will be towing a trailer with your Sorento Hybrid you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # TK26FR, mounting bracket # 18144, and a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Hyundai Sante Fe
    The best hitch for your 2023 Hyundai Sante Fe is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e28AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Hyundai with included hardware. I really like the etrailer hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" x 2" receiver visible and also significantly improves your ground clearance. The etrailer Hitch item # e28AR is a class III hitch, with a 2" receiver, and it weighs 34 lbs. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity,...

  • Can 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Safely Transport a Trilift Carrier and 300 lb Handicapped Scooter
    Thanks for reaching out! Our trailer hitches, like the etrailer Hitch # e28AR, that fit your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe are more than capable of handling the weight of a Trilift carrier and 300 lb mobility scooter but when I checked the owner's manual for your vehicle it looks like the tongue weight rating for your vehicle is less than the 600 lb rating that this specific hitch has (which isn't uncommon as the hitches are tested apart from the vehicle).

    I have an option for a hitch mount rack and trailer hitch for your 2023 Kia Sorento PHEV, but there is neither a trunk mount rack or roof mount option that'll work for your 53lb bike. Most of these racks cap out at 35lbs to 40lbs per bike. Instead you'll need to install a trailer hitch # e28AR and a bike rack # KU84FR will be your best option. This rack weighs 48lbs so you shouldn't have any problems getting it in and out of the hitch, and it's 60lb capacity is plenty for your 53lb bike....
