Rugged, Matte Black Finish
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

Box for shipping was reinforced, product arrived without damage. 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid Installation: Had to undo one muffler hanger. Took me 30 minutes by myself. Would take no more than 10 minutes with a second set of hands.
by: James10/27/2022
Excellent product. The installation went well with the proper tools and a floor Jack. The hitch receiver fit perfectly once properly aligned. I’m happy with the unit as installed.

I watched three YouTube videos to determine which etrailer trailer hitch would best suit my Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, I choose the etrailer e38kr over the Kurt & Draw-tite because of the matte black finish. I purchased the torque wrench and the trim removal tool recommended in the installation video. I highly recommend etrailer and there quality products.
by: Duane10/21/2023
I have purchased two hitch receivers through etrailer. This purchase was for a Hyundai Tucson.
Positives-
1. Products and visuals make selection easy.
2. Installation videos are very helpful.
3. Fast delivery.
4. Nests up well under the rear facia and is hardly visible.
Negatives -
1. The heavy hitch receiver was shipped in a simple cardboard carton… no surprise that there were holes in the carton and bare metal was exposed on the receiver extremities… disappointing since the matte black powder coat finish is promoted.
2. Installation was straight-forward, although more difficult than my first etrailer receiver (Chevy Equinox). The fit to the box frame members was snug and required a jack to fully seat.
I recommend etrailer hitch receivers but would like to see packaging improved.

I am sorry that your hitch arrived with some metal being exposed. I have sent your information over to our customer service department to see if there is anything we can do for you. As for any marks, I highly recommend covering those up with a rust-o-leum type of paint to prevent any corrosion. I have a link below for reference.

Great item. The fit was perfect for my 2023 Sportage after a little jacking on either side for proper hole alignment (due I think to whatever Kia applies to the vehicle subframe as a protectant). The receiver is well hidden under the vehicle when not in use, but is still poistioned perfectly for a four-bike hitch carrier. The matte finish is preferable to other manufacturers' gloss finish and complements my Sportages's matte finish as well. A+!
by: Christina12/29/2023
The receiver is sturdy and fit right it. I followed the video instructions, which was amazing, and had it installed in under 20 minutes. I'm super happy with my receiver. This is my second I've purchased a receiver from Etrailer for one of my cars and I will keep coming back.

The fit was off just ever so little but enough to not allow the mounting bolt to thread in. Tried a few remedies to get them lined up properly to no avail. Full disclosure - I installed myself laying on my back using jack stands as an extra set of hands. If I can get the car lifted I may try a complete removal and re-install. This is my 2nd etrailer brand hitch
by: Gary04/16/2024
The hitch was easy to install. It took me 30 minutes. Before and after pictures. Fit was very snug.
by: John12/04/2022
Hitch arrived on correct day as stated. The hitch had broken out of the box in several places. I needed to paint a few areas where the paint had rubbed or scraped off. Other than that it took me about an hour to install all by myself and it fit very well. The installed hitch didn't stick out from the rear vehicle as well as I had hoped so I am purchasing an extention to resolve that.

Traier Hitch is working great. Really happy with the purchase.
by: Michael04/18/2024
Super fast delivery and great product. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is the box arrived with the receiver poking out through a hole it had made in the cardboard box. It didn’t hurt the hitch at all just scratched the finish a little.
by: Mike S02/09/2024

This review should have been 5 stars. I was very disappointed in the way that the box arrived. the hitch was packaged in a thin box just floating around inside of it. It broke through in 3 places and the powder coat was scraped off exposing bare metal. It could have been a 20 minute install, but I could not in good conscience just bolt it up and ignore the bare metal exposed to the elements. I had to take extra time to get some matte paint and touch up the ends of the hitch before I installed it. I should not have to fix / modify a brand new product myself. It would have been pointless to ask for a return and ship another if they are all packaged the same way. Thank goodness someone taped the bolts to the hitch with some heavy strapping tape or they would have been lost as well.
The hitch itself was very easy to install and is secure. The bolt holes aligned perfectly and I like how it is contoured to fit stealthily up under rear bumper. I am not currently towing anything with it, but will be using it to attach a heavy duty bike rack and a cargo basket. I expect that it will perform flawlessly.
by: John02/01/2024
Almost took longer to watch the video than it did to install the hitch! 20 minutes flat with no cursing! Excellent product now I can use bike racks cargo carriers and even tow smile trailer everything was perfect. Start to finish as always with the trailer fast shipping and perfect product and advice every time.
by: Val 04/25/2024
Well made and sturdy. Will mainly use it for transporting bikes on a hitch rack.
by: Derek04/18/2024
The delivery was so fast ! I am happy! Box was damaged like it was dropped from the plane onto my front yard and had a few scratches on the product but it is a hitch and no big deal.

Lined up perfectly, looks just like the factory hitch and the matte coating seems much more premium than the glossy finish on most receivers.
by: Teresa08/23/2023
I didnt install it but a friend did. He watched the video and once he realized he had to remove a protective plate it went very smoothly. I love the matte finish and it looks great. This will be used for luggage basket and bike rack. So pleased with the result.

Great hitch! After one year the hitch still looks brand new. I would definitely recommend this product
by: Keith 11/05/2023
2023 Hyundai Tucson
The process was pretty simple and pretty easy. I had my wife control the floor jack to help me position the hitch into place. It would suggest getting a friend to help hold one side of the hitch while you position the other. It took some effort to get adequate leverage to get to the specified torque specs.

- Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid To add a hitch to your 2024 Kia Sportage Hybrid you will want the etrailer item # e38KR. This hitch is confirmed to fit all models of the 2024 Sportage including the hybrid. The etrailer Hitch item # e38KR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit item # C45534. I recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Hyundai Tuscon N LineThere is a hitch that will fit your 2022 Hyundai Tucson N but it is not the etrailer item # e38KR you were looking at. Instead, you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C94WR. This hitch has a 2" x 2" receiver and attaches directly to your Tucson's frame with included hardware.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Confirmed to Fit a 2023 Hyundai TucsonWe do have trailer hitches that are confirmed to fit your 2023 Hyundai Tucson, but unfortunately they do not have a 1.25" receiver. But to be completely honest that is likely for the best in the long run. I say that because the hitches we have available have a 2" receiver which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. You can also use 1.25" accessories in a 2" hitch using an adapter like the # HT02, but you cannot use...

Both the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C94WR and the etrailer Hitch item # e38KR are confirmed to fit the 2023 Hyundai Tucson. The reason these hitches look so similar is they are made by the same vendor. The etrailer hitch has a different matte coating that tends to blend in better beneath vehicles than the glossy finish Curt hitches have. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C94WR because right now it costs less. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your...

- Will the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2023 Hyundai Tucson HybridYes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e38KR is a fit for a 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. It features a bolt-on install with hidden design for a sleek look. It works great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.

- 2024 Hyundai Tucson Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack RecommendationsHey Courtney! I highly recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38KR because it has a matte black finish that looks better and is more durable than the standard glossy black finish we see on the other hitch receiver options. I've attached an installation video as well as a photo of the finished product for you to check out.

- Trailer Hitch & 4-Way Wiring Harness For 2024 Kia SportageSure can, the correct trailer hitch and 4-way wiring harness for your 2024 Kia Sportage are the following: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38KR - T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # C99DR I verified both fits directly with the manufacturer for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness Installation Method on a 2023 Kia Sportage HybridThe reason you can't use a fuse tap to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # TK32VR, on your Sportage Hybrid, is because the moduLite power converter has to have a constant supply directly from your battery. Without this direct source of power you would experience flickering lights, blown fuses, and that converter would eventually fail. Wiring it with a fuse tap would also void any warranties.

- Hitch Recommendation for 2024 Kia Sportage HybridThe etrailer hitch part # e38KR is a confirmed fit for your 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid and would be what I would recommend. This hitch is mostly hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the bumper and it has great towing capacities.
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2023 Kia Sportage I have a better option for a 4-way wiring harness but the Tekonsha one that fits your 2023 Sportage is on extended back order due to a buy out of Tekonsha's parent company(04-23-23). Instead you will want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C99DR. This harness is custom fit and connects to existing wiring behind your Kia's tail lights. The powered converter on the Curt harnesses is more reliable than the ones on the Tekonshas. I have linked the instructions below. If...

You'll need to look at the owner's manual for the specific model of the vehicle to find what the vehicle's capacity is and stay under whichever is lowest between the vehicle and the hitch. Going over the capacity of the vehicle can cause damage to the transmission and be quite costly. For a 2023 Kia Sportage I recommend going...
