Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2017 Genesis G80
Question:
Does this mount onto the existing Tow Port on the rear bumper drivers side? Can you share a video of the installation process or a manual? I would purchase if this does not require drilling

Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" Item # C12165, which is the only hitch available for the 2017 Genesis G80, does require drilling for installation. I have included a link to the installation instructions but we haven't had that vehicle in to make a video showing installation.
If you decide to go ahead with this trailer hitch and plan on doing any towing the recommended ball mount is Curt Class II Drawbar - 2-5/8" Rise, 3-1/4" Drop - 7-1/4" Long - 3,500 lbs Item # C45521. And for a ball you can use # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch or # A-82 for a 2 inch.
And for trailer wiring you can use Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # C56264. I have linked its instructions as well.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements.
