  • Comparing the Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitches for a 2023 Hyundai Palisade
  • The difference between the Curt Hitch # C13427 and etrailer Hitch # e95ZR for your 2023 Hyundai Palisade is that the Curt has a classic glossy black powder coat while the etrailer option has a matte black powder coat which is a little more subtle but definitely more durable. Aside from that the physical dimensions and installation of the hitches are exactly the same. Because of this I recommend going with the etrailer hitch over the Curt. Attached are installation photos and videos for...

  • Comparing RockyMounts MonoRail and Split Rail for Carrying Pace Aventon 500
  • The main difference between the SplitRail # RKY11404 and MonoRail # RKY10004 is that the MonoRail can carry bikes with 5" wide tires; the SplitRail will only carry bikes with tires up to 3" wide. It looks like the Aventon Pace 500 has 27"x 2.2" tires, so the MonoRail # RKY10004 would work well for you on your 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe. If you think there's ever a chance you'll switch to fat tire e-bikes then I recommend going with the SplitRail # RKY11404.

  • Why Are There Two Different Stealth Hitches For My 2021 Hyundai Palisade?
  • I would be happy to help! The differences between the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch # 391HYUNPALIS19T you were looking at and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391HYUNPALIS19 for your 2021 Hyundai Palisade is that the # 391HYUNPALIS19T includes the receiver, the special tow ball, and a 7-way connector. The # 391HYUNPALIS19 only includes a receiver and cannot be used for towing a trailer, only for carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier. You will need to match the rack you...

  • Comparing Custom Molded Floor Mats for 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
  • The Husky Liners WeatherBeater Custom Auto Floor Liners - Front and Rear - Black, # HL99631, are a confirmed fit for your 2016 Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid. The Weather Tech Front Auto Floor Mats, # WT442961, and matching 2nd Row Rear Mat, # WT442962 are also a confirmed fit for hybrids, but unfortunately according to the Weather Tech website they do not have a fit for your 2016 Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid. I would recommend the Husky Liners WeatherBeaters, # HL99631, based on...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2013 Hyundai Accent
  • The Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24884 and the Curt Class I, part # C11250 share the same weight bearing capacity and installation procedure. The overall design is similar, but as you mentioned, the Curt uses round tubing for the crossbar of the hitch while the Draw-Tite uses square tubing. As far as the tubing goes, some folks find the round tube to be more visually attractive, but as far as strength and function goes, neither has an advantage. Both companies are reputable and make...

  • Comparing the Thule Motion XT and Sonic Roof Cargo Boxes
  • The Thule Motion cargo boxes are the newest Thule cargo boxes. The Motion boxes are more angular to match the design of newer vehicles while the Sonic cargo boxes have a more traditional cargo box shape. The Sonic was actually a revamped version of earlier Thule boxes whereas the Motion is a completely new design. On the Sonic the lock was in the handle but in the Motion, # TH629707, the lock is separate from the handle and the handle slides parallel to the box rather than being a knob...

  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch # C11025 and Draw-Tite # 24965 For a 2011 Hyundai Sonata
  • Curt is actually a pretty well-known manufacturer of towing products. Their trailer hitches are on par with Reese and Draw-Tite. I would say # C11025 is as strong as the other hitches for the same vehicle. But something that you need to be aware of is that this is a class I trailer hitch and you are limited to carrying 2 bikes on a class I hitch on a rack compatible with class I hitches. The Curt warranty also requires the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, with any non-trailer load....

  • What is the Difference in Having a Tow Package and Not Having a Tow Package on 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • When a vehicle comes with the tow package it means that the manufacturer has already run wiring for a wiring harness. You will either already have a wiring harness on the back of your vehicle or all you will have to do is use a plug-n-play wiring harness to use a 4-Way harness. If a vehicle doesn't come with a tow package then there is usually just a little bit more wiring that has to be run for installation. If you have the factory tow package on your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited, then...

  • Will the Draw-Tite # 18159 7-Way Mounting Box work with the 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole Adapter
  • I went out to the warehouse and pulled the 6 and 7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Box, # 18159, and the 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole Adapter, # 37185, and test fit them to be sure, and the mounting holes line up perfectly. You will need longer screws to go through the housing on the # 37185 adapter, and the sides of the adapter will hang over the edges of the # 18159 mounting box 1/8 inch on the two sides.

  • Difference Between Hidden Hitch # 60872 and Draw-Tite # 24795 for 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  • When it comes to the difference between the Hidden Hitch, # 60872 (no longer available), and the Draw-Tite, # 24795, trailer hitches for a 2008 Hyundai Elantra, part # 60872 includes a ball mount, hitch pin, and clip. If you do not plan to do any towing with your Elantra, these extra components would be unnecessary. Other than that, the hitches are nearly identical since the two manufacturers are sister companies. If you are still in the market for a hitch mounted bike rack, one of my...

  • Recommended 4-Pole Wiring Harness and Mounting Bracket for 2016 Hyundai Tucson
  • The two 4-pole wiring harness kits offered for your 2016 Hyundai Tucson, Curt # C56348 and Tow Ready # 118501, will have an identical installation procedure, but I recommend the Curt since it saves you a few bucks and has a higher current output. This higher output simply means less chance for the trailer lights' power demands from overloading the harness and blowing the included fuse. I have linked an installation video and help article that will show you the entire installation process. If...

  • Difference Between Curt 13473 and etrailer Brand e28AR Class III Hitches
  • Curt manufactures the # e28AR for us. It's the same exact hitch as the Curt 13473 which we offer as # C34ER. The only difference between the two is the sticker placed on it and the finish. The Curt hitch uses a glossy powder coat, while the etrailer # e28AR uses a matte powder coat finish. Other than that, the hitches are identical. I've linked to an install video for you.

  • Difference Between The Curt C11092 And The Draw-Tite Sportframe 24795 Trailer Hitch
  • The difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11092 and the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24795 is that # 24795 has a hidden cross-tube design and will actually sit above the exhaust which is why there isn't an L bracket like the Curt # C11092. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11092 will sit below the exhaust which is why the L bracket is needed, and has an exposed cross tube. I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24795, because it offers the same weight...

  • Hitch Appearance Once Installed on 2014 Hyundai Elantra Sedan
  • Every hitch that fits your 2014 Hyundai Elantra Sedan will mount to the vehicle's frame in exactly the same spots, and the similar shape among the three available hitches is a result of each having to clear the same components on the car's underside, such as the exhaust. All hitch options are shown on the link provided and among these is the round tube Curt # C11303. Some customers consider that a round tube hitch, as compared to the two others that use square main cross tubes, offers...

  • Choosing 4-Pole Wiring Harness for Non-Hybrid 2013 Hyundai Sonata SE
  • The Curt harness # C56049 and the Tekonsha harness # 118557 both are confirmed fits for your non-hybrid 2013 Hyundai Sonata SE. The one big difference between them, as you noted, is that the Tekonsha kit is a powered harness that can provide higher current output for the trailer's lights, up to 4.2-amps per stop/turn circuit and up to 7.5-amps for the running light circuit. The Curt harness cannot deliver as much current since it relies on the car's own internal wiring to deliver the...

  • Swagman XTC or Chinook Bike Rack Comparison
  • If I was choosing between the Chinook # S64683 and the XTC # S64670 I would go with the Chinook all day. It is a better bike rack and doesn't cost much more. The wheel cradle design is more secure and stable, the straps are easier to use since they ratchet, and the hooks lock into place to deter bike theft. Your wheelbase and bike weights are also perfectly compatible with this bike rack as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendations for a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS
  • The two referenced trailer hitch receivers for your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS, Curt # C13153 and Draw-Tite # 75776, are both 2-inch Class III types that install without drilling using included hardware. The main functional differences between them are their tongue weight and gross trailer weight capacities. The Curt # C13153 has a 900-lb tongue weight rating and a 6000-lb towing capacity. The Draw-Tite has a 750-lb tongue weight rating and 5000-lb towing capacity (7500 if used with weight...

  • Is There Difference Between Curt Hitches For 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • None; the Curt hitches for your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe are the same, but a different part number. The 13473 is the same thing as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C34ER. Another option which is almost identical is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e28AR. The only difference between it and the Curt is the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, which does a nicer job of hiding the inevitable scuffs and scratches better than the glossy finish of the Curt hitch. So go with the one whose...

  • Best Bike Rack to Use with a Class C Motorhome and a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • The Thule Doubletrack, part # TH92BJ is not rated for RV use. Most racks that are folding, tilting or are rated for a Class 1 hitch aren't sturdy enough to take the increased forces that occur on the back of an RV. Instead, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec part # S94FR or Dispatch, part # S44FR. Both are platform racks rated for use with an RV and have a few differences that may matter to you depending on the type of bikes you have. The E-Spec is a newer rack with a 60-lb per bike capacity,...

  • Thule OutWay 3 vs OutWay Platform Bike Rack for a 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  • Both the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, item # TH56BV, and the Thule OutWay Platform 2 Bike Carrier, item # TH65JV, will fit on your 2011 Hyundai Elantra. One thing to keep in mind is not to use the rear wiper with either of these racks attached. The TH9003PRO might dent the vehicle bumper though when it is loaded because it is so heavy. When using a trunk mounted 3 bike rack like the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, you should keep the weight of the bikes as close to the rear of the vehicle...
