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. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.by: D. H.05/23/2024
Easy to install and much faster/cheaper than trying to find a shop to install. This is our second hitch purchase from trailer, would definitely recommend.
by: Steven 04/09/2023
The hitch fit perfectly. I have put about 2000 miles of using it since installation.
by: Michael 05/01/2024
I use this for my bike rack. Install wasn’t that hard and the hitch is well made.
by: Timothy 05/14/2024
What a great hitch! It fit the car like a glove... no drilling, bending, prying, or pounding!! I believe the install was complete in about 1.5 hours.
The customer loves it.
by: Garrett 11/24/2022
e trailer has nailed it as always. Shipped quickly, fit my vehicle perfectly, installation instruction video is spot-on and super helpful. I installed this by myself in about 2 hours start to finish and I’m super happy with how it turned out. Can’t speak to the longevity of the product yet but the initial experience has been great.

The receiver has held up flawlessly. I’ve used it to haul bikes for long road trips and never given a second thought to the security of the receiver.

@Garrett Glad to hear your hitch is working well for you!
by: John11/08/2023
Fitment was such that where it mounted next to spare wheel well made getting spare out very difficult because it squeezed the tire. End of hitch was so far beyond the bumper an extension had to be used to prevent bike carrier hitting bumper.
And it was sent to my old address even after updating the information by phone.
Worst experience I've had with these people, I used to purchase all of my hitches from etrailer.
by: Franklin 12/14/2022
Good quality product. Simple and fairly easy installation. I needed another person to help hold it up. Perfect fitment. So far actually used only once, but overall very pleased.

It worked great the one time we used it. Paint is still good.
by: Philip11/28/2023
Amazing quality. This is my second trailer hitch from etrailer and they are exceptional. My first one was a smooth installation, but this one wasn't nearly as easy. You definitely have to cut down those factory bolts so be prepared to do that. Also, the included short hardware didn't fit. They were a little too short despite giving the holes a thorough cleaning. I've seen some people say they did the install themselves in 45 minutes. They are clearly luckier than I am. I did it myself in about 2 hours and with some audibles.

Purchase and delivery was excellent. Trailer itself is high quality. Have used it several times since purchased to transport two road bikes, and is very secure.
by: Jonathan05/14/2022
I have a 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE GLS which has dual exhaust and technically wasn't covered in the installation video or vehicle fit list. I didnt realize this till I began to install it and once I did I figured what the heck let me try. Ill say this is does fit and bolted right on once I got it in place. The only issue I ran across was the hitch hitting the driver side exhaust cover mounted on the bumper, but all I had to do was remove 2 10mm bolts to get it loose, slide the hitch in place and insert one bolt to hold it and once everything was torqued I went back got the 2 10mm bolts to thread back in. All in all its a solid hitch that one person can install if your willing to get a little dirty. I recommend it for the build quality, ease of installation, and great pricing.

This hitch is not showing that it is a confirmed fit for the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS, it is only a fit for the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. This could be the cause of the exhaust cover being in the way.
by: Mike02/22/2024
Easy installation and easy to use
by: Jeff 07/22/2023
the install was so easy fit perfect and looked great used it one time then sold the SUV to buy a truck and installed a new hitch for the truck I purchased it same manufacture and etrailer sold both the hitch and wire harness to me again both company are excellent, the only draw back is the install goes so quick that you will finish to early and haft to go back and finish the honey do list

This product still works after a year. We’ve been able to haul a trailer with our lawn mower attached perfectly fine.
by: Jeremy 10/25/2023
My 2nd trailer hitch from etrailer, best prices around. Total plug n play hitch, no need to weld or modify. Pleased with the product!
by: Jerry B03/24/2020
It is an etrailer product, so not much more to say. Hitch is very well built and heavy duty. The finishing looks great in the vehicle, and the round tube is a perfect fit.
Installation took 1hr:20min, and that is because I did not have one of the tools required to get the bumper pin out of the way, so had to improvise.
etrailer video was paramount for me to complete the installation. I recommend you watch the video prior to installing yours.
I am ready to tow and take our bikes for a ride. Thank you etrailer, for putting money back in my pocket!
by: Nicholas06/20/2020
This hitch looks great. Very low profile which nothing attached. I don’t have any specialized tools and very basic vehicle mechanical skills and I was down with installation in about an hour. Got this for adding a 60x24 cargo carrier on a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport for some extra room for camping trips. Thank you etrailer for an amazing product!
by: Jeffrey 07/02/2022
Hitch came fast and packaged well. Watched a YouTube video and instalation was easy. Highly recommend.

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
First, let me say I'm very impressed with the whole delivery process. First I received automated notice of the order, typical, then I received an email with the tracking number when it shipped, somewhat typical. However, on the tracking email they supplied two "How To" video links that were specific for my personal vehicle, wow! I had a clear and concise instructional before the part even arrived! And, I didn't have to go find it on my own. Because of this great addition I had an idea of how much time, which tools and the general requirements for the task. I have to admit, it added to the excitement because my concern about what I may need to do was eliminated. In fact, I installed my unit the day it arrived.
In my personal case, the steel was slightly sprung, probably from the welding. It took a little fight and some bumping with a mallet to get things going together. Once I had a few turns on every bolt I just took my time and did about 3 turns to each in a pattern. This was to ensure the bolts were somewhat evenly pulling everything to its final position. The part is a great fit for my Santa Fe. I will definitely recommend and shop with E-Trailer in the future. If you are considering this trailer hitch, I definitely recommend it.

- Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited AWDI have a different option for you, but the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98841 you were looking at is only designed to fit the sport models of the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. Since your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is a Limited AWD model then I recommend going with the Curt # C13153 which will be a confirmed fit and is very similar in design to the # e98841 you were looking at. This hitch is a fantastic option for carrying a bike rack, cargo carrier, or ball mount to tow a trailer, and you know you are...

Out of these three options I recommend the etrailer # e98841 as it is tied with the Curt # C13152 for the highest ratings at 900lbs tongue weight and 6000lbs trailer weight rating, but it has a matte black powder coat finish which best matches the plastic trim on the bottom of your rear bumper.

As you can see in the linked install video which shows the # e98843 hitch being installed on a 2020 Sorento, we didn't need to do any trimming or modification to the bumper.

So no, you will be unable to fit this hitch on your 2018 Kia Sorento. For a hitch that is confirmed to fit the 2018 Kia Sorento I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98843.

I called U-Haul and they said that the coupler height of the 4x8 cargo trailer is around 16" from the ground to the bottom of the coupler while level therefore you will need to use the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45311 with the 2" Hitch Ball part # A-90.
