Came with solid hardware and great instructions, this was very easy for a first time trailer-puller to install and use. I use it to occasionally pull a motorcycle trailer to the track.



by:

We ordered the #13526 Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" for my Hyundai Tuscan.

It was easy to install, very sturdy and well made. We had no issues hooking up our mobility scooter carrier and ramp for my mom's scooter to the hitch. It works perfect.

I can now take my mom anywhere she would like to go in my Hyundai and be able to bring her mobility scooter with ease.

Shipping was fast, and we received our product within a few days.

We highly reccomend using etrailer.

Weve had no issues with my hitch, no rust, no problems, still easy to use. Everything still works great.

2006 Hyundai Tucson

It’s been a year, the hitch has performed flawlessly. It installed easily, and fir great. I’m a mechanic, and have installed dozens of trailer hitches. This truly was made for the car. And the harness I also ordered fit perfectly too. I just wish I’d ordered the ball from you guys too.



by:

Works perfect for our Thule X2 bike rack. Exactly what we needed



by:

A little tuff to install. Had to do some drilling to open up the hole on driver side rear. Other than that, worked great and is a clean finish, low profile look I love. Wiring harness was plug and play easy. Had to add some bailing wire as zip ties do not last long in Arizona. No biggie! Great price too!



by:
2009 Hyundai Tucson

A nice fit, I had to remove the two bumper skin brackets furthest out on my 2009 Hyundai Tucson Touring to get things to line up proper. It was my first install and I did it solo (a set of jack stands will be helpful to hold in place as you line the receiver up) It took me over an hour to install, but it's solid! :)



by:

Great quality and only took a few minutes to install! I highly recommend this product!



by:
2005 Hyundai Tucson

This hitch fitted on my Hyundai Tucson 2005. It did fit but I had to struggle a little bit to make it fit because in couple of points the hitch body is in contact with the plastic bumper, if it was just 1/2” smaller in height it would have fitted perfectly and made the job easier.
Just follow the installation manual that comes with it, I recommend have a hammer and a piece of wood in case you need to hit it to force it to fit .



by:
2007 Hyundai Tucson

The hitch was delivered 8/13/2019, installed same day.
Easy installation on my 2007 Hyundai Tuscon
Wanted a trailer hitch for when one is needed, just planning ahead.

Product was received two days after ordering, directions were very clear, hitch was installed within a half an hour without any issues. I definitely would order from a trailer again!

I am very pleased with this trailer hitch. It looks great and is of good quality. The friendly service and fast shipping was a major plus in dealing with this company. Couldn't be happier.

As advertised, in stock, fast delivery...what else can you ask for? I suggest that etrailer show how to hook up trailer lights for this hitch (sold separately of course). Good equipment!

Our trailer hitch is working great. We love it. Great price. Quality product. Just fantastic!



by:
2007 Hyundai Tucson

Ever thing went great, I just follow the video instructions. Fast delivery, received my hitch in less then 24hrs. Installed by myself in 90 min. Or less.
FYI: I am Michael’s Dad he recommended your company



by:

Looks great fits perfectly. I watched [online] installation video before starting. Easy enough to do by one person. Could use help holding but not necessary.



by:
2008 Kia Sportage

Install was easy by using video. Took about 30 minutes including time to watch video,Great company to work with



by:

This would be 5 stars for quality of construction.
I deducted a point because the installation is not simple. Regardless of how I held the new hitch it would not slide into position without scratching the lower part of the bumper. If you were to take out the muffler then you would have complete access to the mounting points. But short of doing that you will scratch your car. There is no way around it.

A year in and no issues whatsoever. The finish still looks good, no rust, works for my tiny trailer every time.



by:

Curt hitch fit my 2005 Tucson perfectly. Good packaging, received box with no damages earlier then expected. I chose etrailer for their informative website and competitive pricing.

GREAT quality and GREAT trailer hitch. I watched your install video, everything fit perfectly. Last year I purchased a trailer hitch for my wife's KIA, and it was perfect. That is the reason I came back to purchase this one.

It is still the best hitch, and the most concealed hitch by design



by:
2005 Hyundai Tucson

Hitch promptly and I got it installed in no time. Two comments, first I used the car jack to lift the hitch into position. If you don't have that as a suggestion for installation tips, you might consider it. Using the jack made a 1-person install easy since I didn't have to hold it while bolting. Second, I was sorry to see the ball mount was made in China -- I would have paid more for an American made one.

Thanks for the quick delivery and good price!

Using the jack is a stroke of genius! However, when I did it by myself, I had trouble with lateral movement to line up the holes. Thus, I took the jack down and lined up the holes first. Then, as I held the hitch in place, my son operated the jack. After it was in place, the job was very easy! There are no worries about the ball coming undone. I put the ball on the wrong bracket the longer one was too low and had to remove it. The lock washer is hard core! Metal was flying as I broke it loose there was no damage, just some pits where the washer engaged. Thus, I do not see it ever coming off by itself.I have not seen it in action yet, but everything looks robust. I will be pulling my boat tomorrow. I do not foresee any issues. I will re-comment if there are any.

2005 Kia Sportage

The trailer hitch was easy to install. The instructions were exactly correct on how to do the job. This only took about 35 minutes to do the complete job.

It still looks great, even after being through a winter with salt on the roads.



by:
2008 Harley-Davidson Tucson

The hitch appears to be very heavy duty and good quality. Fallowing the instructions to install it was very easy. The hitch was a gift for my father and he is pretty good do it yourself handy man kind of guy. I myself am a highly skilled mechanic who works on industrial pressure for washers. So him and I were able to tackle the job of installing the hitch in about 45 minutes. I was really impressed with how it came with all the bolts and mounting hardware and there was no drilling needed.

One tip I will offer to anyone that is installing this hitch is yes it is the right hitch for your vehicle but might not appear so initially. Because if your vehicle has 1 tow hook instead of two in the rear some of the bolt holes are likely covered with stickers that match the color of the undercoating and are very hard to distinguish other than that little hang up it was a very easy install of a very good product.

My father plans to use it to tow a small utility trailer for doing yard work and sometimes his Harley Davidson motor cycle.



by:
2006 Kia Sportage

Though we did not install the hitch receiver because of physical limitations we were told that it was easy to install. It has been very easy for us to use when hitching our utility trailer or bike rack. We gladly recommend this hitch receiver to future buyers.



by:

I purchased the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III-2 inch. It is without exception the most heavy duty hitch in it's class that I have ever seen. Complete with all mounting hardware and installation instruction including an online video clip. I believe I made the best possible choice and got the biggest bang for my buck. To add to my satisfaction the Beefy Curt Hitch is MADE IN THE GOOD OLD USA!!! You can not ask for anything more but there is, the folks at etrailer were available for my questions from order to install. Thank You!



by:
2009 Kia Sportage

Fits great on our 09 kia sportage. Pulls the dirtbike trailer very smoothly.

Install took a little while because I'm a perfectionist and wanted to zip tie the wires away from the exhaust. I needed a couple more zip ties than the wire kit came with. Drilled holes for the 4 pin plug mounting bracket (part # 18144) It looks great. Factory look and will keep the plug from dragging the ground.

Would buy again. Good quality

  • Which Hitch Fits 2007 Hyundai Tucson Limited Edition LE

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2007 Kia Sportage
    The number of cylinders the engine has will have NO bearing on which hitch will fit. Any of the hitches we offer for the 2007 Kia Sportage will fit 4 and 6 cylinder models. Although which engine you have doesn't dictate the hitch used, it will dictate the trailer wiring harness. For the best hitch at the best price point, I'd recommend going with the Curt Class III, part # 13526. If you plan on towing with the hitch, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system. For trailer...

  • Recommendation for a 4-Bike Rack for a 2007 Hyundai Tucson
    For all of your alternative framed bikes, I recommend going with a platform style rack like the Saris Freedom # SA4414B. This will be a great rack for you and all your passengers! If your Electra's have fat bike tires you can change out the wheel cradles for fat bike wheel cradles # SA4419. The neat thing about the Freedom is the way the cradles pivot and slide up and down the central masts. This allows the rack to grab your bike's tube at the perfect angle.

  • Can a Hitch Extender be Used with Malone Hanger Bike Rack on a 2005 Hyundai Tucson
    That Malone bike rack MPG2124 really does have sort of a backwards lean doesn't it. I looked through the literature for the bike rack and there is nothing stating that you can't use an extension and since that is the only way the rack will clear the back of your 2005 Hyundai Tucson you would have to use an extension. Like you said, the use of an extension reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. For hitch # 13526 the tongue weight capacity is normally 350...

  • Could Trailer Hitch from 99' Dodge Durango Fit 2006 Hyundai Tucson
    For a 2006 Hyundai Tucson a hitch from a 1999 Dodge Durango would not work. You'd need to go with a hitch like the Curt # 13526 which is custom fit for your vehicle. Hitch fits are very specific and typically only fit a vehicle model for a few years before updates to the vehicle require a new fit so fits between vehicle manufacturers is incredibly rare.

  • Should Trailer Hitch Capacity Or Vehicle Capacity Be Used On 2006 Hyundai Tucson
    Even though the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13526, you have on your 2006 Hyundai Tucson is rated for 3,500 lbs, you will be limited by the towing weight capacity of your vehicle at 2,000 lbs. When towing or attaching anything to a hitch, you always need to use the lowest rated component for capacities.

    The Curt trailer hitch part # 13526 that you referenced does fit the 4 cylinder 2009 Hyundai Tucson that you have.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118397 as it's our most reliable option and doesn't require splicing to install.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch # 13526 Fit a 2009 Kia Sportage with Dual Exhaust

If you look at the fourth picture on the product page, you will see the hitch installed on a dual exhaust model. The instructions, linked for reference, also show the hitch using a dual exhaust model as an example. If you plan to do some towing, the recommended ball mount is # AMSC2 and you can use pin and clip # PC3. For a ball, you can use # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter), # 19247 (2 inch diameter), or...

You have 7 different hitch options for your Tuscon. I would recommend purchasing and installing a hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening over a smaller 1-1/4 inch hitch opening; the larger hitch will give you a lot more options for accessories.
