One year later and everything is working perfectly!!

Easy installl. Only problem was factory bolt holes had a lot of paint in them making hard to get bolts started. This is 3rd or 4th hitch I have bought from etrailer and I always receive within 2 days. Fast and friendly service. Bud answered all of my questions

Thank you

Great quality, perfect fit, easy to install. Parts and labor through Hyundai dealership was over $[XX]! This install also only took 45 minutes. Dealership was going to charge 3 1/2 hours labor at $[XX] an hour. I am very pleased with my purchase.

The shipping was somewhat vague. on what was coming and what was just forwarded and shipping at a different date. I received the hitch, connector, and floor mats but the tonneau cover was not coming until the 26th of March. Nothing real showed that in the shipping info I was receiving. Other than that everything showed up from ETrailer quickly and in good shape. Still waiting on the tonneau cover. After a quick phone call got the shipping date on the tonneau cover and good with it.

Hitch receiver was a simple bolt in install. Looks and fit perfectly to my santa cruz. Easy to install and saved me a lot of money compared to a factory installed unit.

Bolted right up to the Santa Cruz. Wiring harness was plug and play.

I have towed regularly 4000-5000 lbs with my 2022 Santa Cruz with this hitch…absolutely no problems. It’s as if it was OEM. Thanks Curt!!



by:

It went ok. A little difficult trying to tighten bolts on passenger side. Took me about 2 hours doing it myself.

Harness was quick and easy.



by:

The hitch works. I gave it a three star because it came with the box damage and the hitch bent. I inquire to etrailer about it, and was told that I should be able to straighten it. I did but, I am not able to secure one bolt. As it does not align properly.

I am using the hitch but because the The hitch came bent, I was not able to straiten it to its original form so, I could not install one bult. So, I use it with limited weight less then 1000 lbs.

Fantastic product fantastic service, my order actually delivered three days early. Very impressive. It arrived in perfect condition. With additional parts for installation that I did not expect. Made the installation simple.
Thank you again

Packaging of hitch is minimal and even the second shipment experienced some holes in the box. Customer service was outstanding, fast and helpful. Both the hitch and the harness fitted well. I would recommend viewing the instillation on Youtube. I installed the hitch by myself using the muffler to hold one end up while threading the bolts on the opposite side. Then removed two of the three exhaust hanging grommets on the exhaust to then thread & tighten the three bolts on the passenger/exhaust side. I did not disconnect the battery when installing the harness and experienced no issues. Thanks to Etrailer.

Great hitch and not hard to install. I am very happy with it.

I only buy vehicle hitches from you all! The video of how to install it myself was spot on! Shipping was fast!!!

Like all Kurt products it installed with excellent instructions and a minimum amount of hassle. It took some physical effort but there were no surprises. I just actually used it for the first time this last week. Trailered a 900 lb. motorcycle 400 miles and back with no issues. Great values for the money.

Recently i got my self a 2024 santa cruz and it came with no Trailor hitch and of course the dealer wonted over a thousand dollars to in stall one, others a little less like u hall. so i went on the enter net and checked out etrailer as well as others and decided to buy there product with free shipping. fast shipping and thats important, and it arrived in three days. box took a little beating but the hitch was fine and i recommend padding the hitch ends as shippers as you know put all packages to the test. the hitch is very well made with strong iron and power coated nicely. i'm a eighty one year old man so it took me by my self about two and a half hours to complete the job enclouding the wiring harness. i'm pleased that i only see the hitch receiver and not all the hitch as that makes a good looking bumper as you see it from the rear. because i had no help to install the hitch i did employ a bottle jack to assist me during the installation and it all worked out quite well. pleased with the product but the photo helpers need to be cleared up for better visual . I did a great job with a good product to work with. If you need a hitch, give these people a try i think you will like what you get.

The hitch arrived in a cardboard box and looked great. When I tried to install the hitch, I found that the mounting plate on the driver's side of the hitch was bent , likely from having been dropped on that end of the box. When the hitch was mounted to the passenger side of the vehicle the mounting plate on the driver side was about 1 1/2 inches from the mounting holes in the chassis. I used a chain fall and a couple of trees to pull the driver side plate back into position so that I could then mount the hitch to the vehicle. Had it not been for the need to straighten the mounting plate, the installation would have taken about an hour. I also should mention that I am 70+ years old and I managed the installation alone so it was not a difficult task. I gave it 4 stars because of the bent mount, otherwise it was a 5 star.

This hitch is made of mild steel which causes it to flex over pot holes and rough terrain, but also can happen during shipping which causes it to bend. Here are tips to fix the issue in this help article:

Still working great. It does what it is supposed to do and does it well. No problems at all.

Nice design, well constructed,great fit, good instructions, easy install.
Backed the Santa Cruz Night Edition onto a couple of 2"x6" planks to get some extra space for workout underneath, worked well.



by:

One of the few things that works as advertised. No problems with installation. No problems in a year towing on multiple trips moving kids stuff. Absolutely the BEST!

The hitch receiver fit great. I did the installation on the ground by myself. Things were a little tight but with your excellent videos I was prepared for what needed to be done.

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer With a 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz
    First you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23WR for your 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz. This class III receiver is made in the USA and has a 2" receiver opening. The Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR will provide you with a 4-way flat connector for most small trailers. You can use the Mounting Brackets # 18140 and # 18144 to secure the 4-way to the receiver cross tube without drilling. The etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 will provide you with 2 different height receivers, 2 hitch...

  • Does the Curt CU94FR Wiring Harness Have the Fire Hazard the Factory One Does on the 2023 Santa Cruz
    No, it is not. That harness was a factory part and it has been discontinued. The Curt Wiring Harness item # CU94FR has had zero issues with catching on fire or causing damage to the 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Santa Curz's wiring harness behind the interior trim panel in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the converter you will need to insert the included 10-amp fuse into the fuse holder. I have linked the installation instructions below....

I really like this hitch because the main crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. I have linked an installation video and attached a couple of pictures below so you can see what this hitch will look like once installed.

This is made for campers with a tongue weight between 200 and 600 lbs. So this will be perfect for your camper. Blue Ox makes a great quality hitch. They are very easy to assemble and use.

When we installed this on a 2022 Santa Cruz we found it to have a hitch height of 14".

  • Why Isn't Hitch for 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Rated for Weight Distribution
    So weight distribution systems put additional stress on the chassis and hitch of the vehicle. Typically the hitches that are rated for WD are for vehicles that have full frames and/or the hitch installs with longer flange mounting brackets to distribute that stress/leverage out. The Curt hitch that fits your 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz basically does not attach in enough places to the vehicle to be safe to use with a WD system.
