  • Capacity for the Curt Hitch part # C11254 for a 2013 Hyundai Veloster
  • Yes, the Curt Hitch part # C11254 that you referenced has a 1,000 lb maximum trailer weight rating. If the trailer you plan on towing is less than 1,000 lbs and has a tongue weight of less than 100 lbs then this hitch would work well for you. To complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the Wiring Harness Part # C59496. Curt Ball Mount part # C45521, Hitch Ball with 1-7/8 inch diameter part # A-80, and # A-82 for a 2 inch ball may also interest you.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2019 Hyundai Veloster
  • There is only one option for a roof rack for the 2019 Hyundai Veloster, but it's a great option; have a look at the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - Black # 298-SX6000B. This is an easy to install and remove roof rack system that mounts to your vehicle using suction cups that won't damage the vehicle, and it's compatible with most kayak carriers. For the kayak carrier, I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # e98878, which...

  • Does The Ratchet Strap Need To Be Used When Loading One Bike On Hollywood Racks Desitnation?
  • The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY94FR comes with the red strap for added security. It is basically an extra means of security when trying to keep the bikes tight to the carrier and reduce any movement. It technically does not need to be used, but I do recommend using it especially when you have 2 bikes loaded. I attached a short demonstration video which shows the strap being used, but you can see our demonstration person mentions...

  • Compatibility of Yakima Bowdown and Thule Hull-a-Port Kayak Carriers on Roof Rack of 2013 Veloster
  • You are correct that the short curved roof line on your 2013 Hyundai Veloster poses a challenge to fitting both roof racks and some roof-mount accessories such as your Yakima Bowdown and Thule Hull-a-Port kayak carriers, as well as other items such as cargo boxes. Also, operation of the rear hatch and optional glass sun roof may be interfered with by either a roof rack itself or by certain accessory items installed on it. I suggest that your first step be a confirmation with your local...

  • How to Carry Bikes with a 2014 Hyundai Veloster
  • I have a solution that will allow you to transport bikes with your 2014 Hyundai Veloster, but there are no trunk racks that are confirmed as fits for your vehicle. Instead you would want to go with a hitch mounted option. For a hitch you would want the Curt part # C11254. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike...

  • Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for 2016 Hyundai Veloster
  • Since trailer wiring is not reversible to allow it to be used in a flat towing setup you'd have to go with tow bar wiring that does fit your 2016 Hyundai Veloster. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your...

  • Recommendation for Carrying 2 Bikes on the Trunk of a 2012 Hyundai Veloster
  • At the time we answered that question we did not have any fits that would work on the 2012 Hyundai Velostar.

This unique rack will work with your Velostar and comes in 4 colors. Check out the link to see this amazing product. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Hyundai Veloster
  • There are several trunk mount bike racks that are listed as a fit for the 2013 Hyundai Veloster. I have included a link to the options for you. The Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2, is a great choice if your Veloster has that spoiler at the top of the rear hatch. It is made with an extra arm that moves the straps up and over the spoiler so as not to put any stress on it so you can carry bikes with the vehicle. At this time, it only comes in a 2-bike model. If you will be carrying any bikes...

It's not very complicated and would only take you about 40 minutes to install. Check out the install video I attached for more info. Hitch installs are pretty easy for qualified mechanics. If you wanted to let someone else install the hitch I would just find a local garage in your area that has a good reputation and let them...

  • Tongue Weight of Curt Hitch Receiver for 2017 Hyundai Veloster
  • To put it simply, no. You're not going to be able to carry a dirt bike in any manner using your 2017 Hyundai Veloster. Because of the limited tongue weight capacity of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11254 you wouldn't be able to use a motorcycle carrier like the etrailer # e98873 to carry a dirt bike. This Curt hitch has a tongue weight rating of 100-lbs, which is the amount of weight that the hitch can handle pressing down on it, to put it simply. Because of the limited tongue weight...

  • Recommended Tow Bar for Roadmaster Base Plates on 2013 Hyundai Veloster
  • I'd recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar, part # RM-522. The non-binding and self-aligning arms mean that you won't need to make sure the car is perfectly lined up behind the vehicle and the pavement or ground is flat as a pool table. The tow bar has a 6000 lb capacity, which will work perfectly for your Hyundai Veloster and is fully compatible with your existing Roadmaster Base Plates. I've linked you to a product demonstration video featuring the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2017 Hyundai Veloster
  • For a hitch that fits your 2017 Hyundai Veloster we have the Curt part # C11254 as the only option but it will work great to carry a 2 bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z that I recommend highly as well since it's a easy to load/unload rack that's very stable and also very well built.

  • Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2012 Hyundai Veloster
  • For your 2012 Hyundai Veloster there is only a Class I hitch available, part # C11254. 2 inch hitches are generally reserved for larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks. Generally we do not recommend the use of 2 inch adapters on 1-1/4 inch hitches like this one since they cut the already pretty low capacities for the hitch in half. This hitch has a 100 lb tongue weight capacity so when used for a cargo carrier it would only have a 50 lb capacity. And that includes the weight of the carrier. Your...

  • Roof Rack and Bike Carrier for 2012 Hyundai Veloster with Center Exhaust
  • Since the 2012 Hyundai Veloster has center exhaust I do not recommend using a hitch mounted bike rack. The heat from the exhaust could damage the bike rack and bikes. The best option for carrying bikes on your Veloster is to use a roof rack. The roof rack that fits your vehicle is the Yakima system consisting of: Jetstream bars 50 inch # Y00425 Baseline Towers # Y28TR BaseClip 180 # Y06180 Baseclip 127 # Y06127 You could carry 2 bikes easily. Three bikes would require the center bike...

  • Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Hyundai Veloster
  • The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing additional ground clearance. Because of that, this is the rack I'd recommend for you. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but a combination anti-rattle hitch lock/cable lock is available separately as part # S64031. This rack can accommodate bikes with wheelbases that are up to 66 inches...

  • Platform Bike Recommendation for a 2013 Hyundai Veloster
  • To use a platform rack with your 2013 Hyundai Veloster you are going to first need to install a hitch on your vehicle since I checked Thule does not recommend the Thule OutWay part # TH65JV for your vehicle. Let's start with a hitch, for that I would recommend the Curt hitch part # C11254. Curt recommends that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty...

  • Largest Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2015 Hyundai Veloster
  • For your 2015 Hyundai Veloster the Curt Hitch part # C11254 is a confirmed fit and would work well for carrying a cargo carrier. You will need to use the stabilizer strap part # 18050 with this hitch when the carrier is installed as Curt requires the use of a stabilizer strap with this hitch when carrying a non-supported load. The biggest carrier we have that fits a Class I hitch like this is the Reese part # 63155 which measures 20 inches by 47 inches. This carrier has a rise shank of...
