• Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Hyundai Sonata
• The best hitch for your 2023 Hyundai Sonata is going to be the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT74MR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Hyundai with included hardware. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight.

• Does the Heat Shield Have to Be Removed to Install the Curt C23HR on a 2021 Hyundai Sonata?
• I can confirm that the heat shield will have to be removed to install the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C23HR on your 2021 Hyundai Sonata. The heat shield mounts on the frame where the trailer hitch will sit so it has to go. I have attached a screenshot below from the instructions so you can see this step. All the heat shield does is block the heat from the muffler. Once the hitch is in its place the steel does a far superior job of keeping exhaust heat away from your car. If you are planning...

• How High Up Will Curt Cargo Carrier C18145 be when Used on a 2015 Hyundai Accent Hatchback
• You would be looking at about 9 inches from the ground to the bottom the receiver on your 2015 Hyundai Accent hatchback using a trailer hitch such as # 24884. To that 9 inches you would add 1-1/2 inches for the wall thickness of the receiver and the opening. Then you would add about another 6 inches for the height of the basket part of 17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs Item # C18145. That is a total of 16-1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the carrier...

• How Heavy of Trailer Can 2018 Hyundai Elantra Tow
• The Curt Class I hitch part # C11424 that you referenced does fit your 2018 Hyundai Elantra Sedan and has a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight. I looked up the towing capacity of your vehicle and it appears to have a 750 lb trailer towing weight capacity so you'd be limited to that as your overall towing capacity. Then for trailer wiring you'd want the part # 118692 which is a custom fit option with a very reliable converter box as well. Then for a ball mount you'd want the...

• Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Hyundai Tucson
• To add a hitch to your 2023 Hyundai Tucson, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C94WR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Hyundai with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because it mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but also helps with ground clearance. If you are planning on towing you...

• Can Saris SA805BL Bones Trunk Mount Bike Rack Carry 45lb e-Bike on 2021 Hyundai Kona
• According to Saris, their # SA805BL Bones 2-bike trunk mount rack can accommodate 2 bikes weighing up to 35 lbs each. Even though the total weight of the two bikes you're wanting to carry won't exceed the capacity of the rack, having a bike weighing 45 lbs would place stresses on the rack that it wasn't engineered to withstand and could cause the rack to fail. The same would hold true for the # SA803 as well. An alternative option would be to install a Class 3 hitch like the Draw-Tite...

• Hyundai Sonata 2016 Roof Weight Capacity With Thule Wingbar Evo Roof Rack
• The weight capacity will differ from car to car, but in this case your 2016 Hyundai Sonata is not the limiting factor. Thule has tested this on the 2016 Sonata and has set the limit to 88lbs. The Wingbar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 have a capacity of 220lbs, the Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R have a capacity of 165lbs with the FitKit # THKIT1818. This is the capacity of the items individually, but when installed Thule recommends keeping your load under 88lbs. This won't be a huge issue for...

• How High Does Curt Hitch C11402 Sit Above Ground On 2019 Hyundai Sonata
• When we installed the Curt hitch # C11402 on a similar 2018 Hyundai Sonata to your 2019 model we found that from the top of the hitch down to the ground measured 10-1/2 inches. Since Class 3 hitches are only available for higher capacity vehicles that are much larger non are available. Also we do not have any multi-fit hitches that would be reasonable to try and fit on your vehicle either.

• What is the Angle of the Ramp for Loading Bikes on the Thule EasyFold Bike Rack
• The angle of the ramp is going to be different on every vehicle due to differences in the hitch height. The Thule EasyFold 2 Bike Rack # TH903202 is approximately 8-3/4 inches from the top of the shank that fits in the receiver tube. Measure from the top of the receiver opening on your hitch up 8-3/4 inches to determine about where the platform will be. The ramp is about 4 feet long so given the length of the ramp and the eight of the platform based on the height of your hitch, you should...

• Tongue Weight of Curt Hitch Receiver for 2017 Hyundai Veloster
• To put it simply, no. You're not going to be able to carry a dirt bike in any manner using your 2017 Hyundai Veloster. Because of the limited tongue weight capacity of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11254 you wouldn't be able to use a motorcycle carrier like the etrailer # e98873 to carry a dirt bike. This Curt hitch has a tongue weight rating of 100-lbs, which is the amount of weight that the hitch can handle pressing down on it, to put it simply. Because of the limited tongue weight...

• Will the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Level a Heavy Load on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
• You are correct, the trailer hitches for your 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe do not allow for the use of a weight distribution system, so the best option for you will be the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4170, as long as you do not exceed the lowest rated capacity of either your vehicle or trailer hitch. These air springs will help level your vehicle when towing a 3,000 lb trailer with a 280 lb tongue weight. These air springs will fit inside of your existing coil springs and are...

• Height Of The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver DT75MR For Ground Clearance
• Since we have not installed the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT75MR on a vehicle in our shop the only measurement that I can give you is the height of the receiver from the frame. The receiver is 7" tall from the frame mounts to the bottom of the receiver tube. You will need to measure from your frame rail down to determine where this is on your 2021 Hyundai Elantra. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK86FR will give you a 4-way flat connector that can be used for small...

• Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 Hyundai Tucson w/ a Panoramic Sunroof
• I saw you were looking at some Thule parts which is why I recommended it over a Yakima and we had an installation video.

• How Much Can a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Tow with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13152 is rated for up to 6,000 lbs. However, your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is only rated for 2,000 lbs unless you have the factory tow package then you are rated for up to 5,000 lbs. The lower of the two ratings (hitch/vehicle) will need to be the limit you abide by. Please also note if the trailer is over 1,653 lbs it will need to have brakes according to the owner's manual. I have attached some other parts you will need below. Curt T-Connector Vehicle...

• Why Does the Stealth Hitch for a 2020 Hyundai Palisade Have a 7,500 Lb Towing Capacity
• The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 391HYUNPALIS19T is a great option for a 2020 Hyundai Palisade. It has been tested and can withstand 7,500 lbs of gross trailer weight and 600 lbs of tongue weight. That said, trailer hitches are tested separately of the vehicle and are usually rated higher than what the vehicle is rated for. The lower of the two ratings is the correct capacity to abide by.

• Installed Clearance Dimension for Curt Trailer Hitch C11400 on 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT Hatchback
• The light-duty Class I hitch # C11400 is a confirmed fit on the GT Hatchback version of the 2016 Hyundai Elantra. We have not had a local customer come in for an install of this particular hitch on your particular vehicle so we do not have the hitch-pin-to-bumper-cover dimension we always provide once we've done an install here at etrailer. I checked with the technical team at Curt and while they confirmed the fit of this hitch on the car they too did not have the dimension available....
