Expert Answers about Hyundai Sonata

• 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.

• J-Style Kayak Carrier for Transporting Pelican Catch 130 Hydryve and Hobie
• Since your kayaks are on the heavier side you'd need a carrier with a higher weight capacity like the Rhino Rack # S510 which has a 99 lb weight capacity. This would attach to the Whispbar roof rack you have as well.

• How to Determine Departure Angle For 2008 Hyundai Sonata Trailer Hitch Receiver
• In order to determine the departure angle with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24757 installed on your 2008 Hyundai Sonata more information would be required. Although we know the distance from the top of the inside of the receiver to the ground, which is 10-1/2", the distance from the "impact point" to where the tire contacts the ground is unknown. If you're truly going into a 45 degree angle then this would require a distance of approximately 11.3" from the point where...

• Ground Clearance on a 2020 Hyundai Sonata w/ the Draw-Tite DT74MR Hitch Receiver
• I just spoke with my rep at Draw-Tite the bottom of the 1 1/4" receiver for the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" item # DT74MR sits 5 1/2" off of the ground. I have attached a picture of the hitch installed on a Hyundai Sonata. The receiver extends to the trim but not past the bumper. I recommend using the Curt Class II Drawbar - 5" Rise - 9-5/8" Long item # C45014 to make sure you have enough clearance to get past your Sonata's bumper. If you...

• Which Bearing Buddy for Harbor Freight Trailer 62648 & 62666
• The Bearing Buddy we have found that fits most of the Harbor Freight trailers is the part # BB2047 which would be the correct one for if your hub bore was 2.047 inches. I'd recommend verifying that measurement on your trailer hub bore.

• 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...

• 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...

• Length of Dee Zee Hardware Series Toolbox # DZ8748SB Including the Lid
• I spoke to my contact at DZ and he informed me that the 48 inches of length of the DeeZee Hardware Series Truck Bed Toolbox, part # DZ8748SB, is the measurement of the body of the tool box and does not include the lid. He said that the lid overhangs about an 1/2 inch all around. So including the lid it has a length of 49 inches.

• 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...

• Size of # 988501 Rainproof Cargo Bag When Folded
• The etrailer bag # 988501 folds up a lot more than you'd think it would. The box that it ships in measures about 10 inches by 10 inches and about 4 inches tall. It would be hard to get it folded that tight again I'm sure (Things never go back in the box the way they came in for me) but it definitely folds up nicely. The product description says, "Bag folds flat for compact storage."

• How Wide Will a 175/65-14 Tire Be and Will it Fit on a 6 Inch Wide Wheel
• A 175/65-14 is not a trailer tire size, it is a passenger vehicle tire size. Passenger vehicles should not be used on trailers because they are constructed differently than trailer tires. Trailer tires are built with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load. A 175 tire will be approximately 6.895 inches wide but they only fit on 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 inch wide wheels. To be clear, the width is measured where the tire sits on the wheel, not the overall width. If that width was 6 inches...

• Is there a 2 Inch Hitch for a 2021 Hyundai Sonata?
• No, it will not. I checked with all of our vendors, and the only hitches available for the 2021 Hyundai Sonata are 1-1/4". Hyundai didn't offer a 2" as a factory option either due to the small size and weight capacity of the car. Out of the two hitches available, I recommend the Curt item # C23HR because it has a better price. Both it and the Draw-Tite item # DT74MR are class I 1-1/4" hitches. They are rated for 200 lbs of tongue weight, however you will want to verify with your owner's...

• Clearance of the Kuat Transfer 2 on a 2011 Hyundai Sonata
• The Kuat Transfer 2, part # KU74FR is a good pick for the 2011 Hyundai Sonata. It will sit close to the vehicle, but not risk impact of the bikes with the vehicle's trunk. If you don't have a hitch already, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Hitch, part # 24965. This hitch will give you a trailer hitch receiver compatible with all Class I accessories and the ability to carry two bikes. I've included a video of our demo team installing this hitch on a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, so you can...
