Expert Answers about Hyundai


  • How to Determine What Factory a 2011 Hyundai Elantra was Built In
  • You can contact the dealer and have them look up the VIN and they should be able to tell you. There is also a sticker on the driver side door jamb that should show where the vehicle was made. The issue is that on Korean built models there is a hole that is not present on the frame that would have to be drilled using the hitch as a template. All the other attachment points are correct. This is an issue on the sedan models but we have not heard about issues on the hatchbacks.

  • Is The Curt BallMount # D210 Rated High Enough To Haul 2 E-Bikes And Tow an 1,800lb Trailer
  • Yes, any weight added to the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 will need to be considered towards your tongue weight. We typically figure around 10-15% of the trailer's GTW for tongue weight so you'd have roughly 200lbs plus the 150lbs from the bikes/rack for a rough total of 350lbs. The Curt # D210 has a tongue weight capacity of 750lbs so you well within its capacity, but you should still check the capacity of your Santa Fe and the trailer hitch's capacity to ensure you're not overloading...

  • How to Remove the Floor Mats in 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • Many original equipment floor mats supplied by auto makers have special fixtures in them to help hold them in place on the floor of the vehicle. These often consist of a small hook attached to the permanent carpet layer and a grommet in the removable floor mat that catches on that hook to keep the mat from sliding around under the drivers feet. Sometimes these mats also have small projections, or spikes, on the bottom surface to grip the permanent carpet layer. Some aftermarket floor mats,...

  • Does Coupler Latch Need Adjustment to Use Euro-Style Ball Mount Like # C45592
  • By 'clasp', I assume you're speaking about the latching mechanism on the trailer coupler. If your current coupler is compatible with a 2 inch trailer ball, it will operate just fine with the Curt Euro Style Ball, part # C45592. As long as the ball diameter is compatible with the coupler, you shouldn't need to adjust anything.

  • How Is Power Wire For Trailer Wire Harness Run On 2013 Hyundai Elantra
  • When running the power wire for the # C59496 harness, you want to make sure you avoid sharp edges or moving parts, and the exhaust. You will run the wire forward to the engine compartment. The instructions are not vehicle specific and we do not have a video of an installation for your Elantra, but most installations are similar. You can check out the attached link to an installation of this harness on a vehicle. The video is on a different vehicle but you can get an idea how the installation...

  • Do I Need A Lift To Be Able To Install the etrailer Receiver on my 2022 Hyundai Palisade?
  • A lift is not required to be able to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e95ZR on your 2022 Hyundai Palisade. You may find it easier to raise the rear of your Palisade up off the ground so that you can more easily access the mounts for the exhaust and be able to lower the exhaust to get the receiver in place. I have linked our installation video below so you can see where the mounts are to determine if you need to raise it off the ground. I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness For A 2023 Hyundai Palisade
  • We do have a wiring harness for your 2023 Hyundai Palisade. I recommend the Curt T-Connector # C43FV. This will plug in behind the driver and passenger side tail lights, and will not require any cutting of the vehicles harness. You will have to run a wire to the battery to power the module for the 4 pole flat connector. We also have the # C59236 which is a 4 pole wiring harness, but this will require cutting and splicing of the vehicles wiring.

  • Does The Curt 7-Way For a 2022 Hyundai Palisade Include Reverse Circuit For Lockout on Surge Brakes?
  • Yes, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C68JR will connect to the factory tow package wiring on your 2022 Hyundai Palisade. It does include the reverse circuit wiring so when you connect to a trailer with surge brakes and a Reverse Lockout Solenoid # T4748800 you will not have the brakes activate when driving in reverse.

  • Can 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Use Weight Distribution Hitch
  • You should not use a weight distribution hitch with your 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz because the hitch that fits it - the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23WR - is not rated for use with weight distribution. What you can use instead - and it is not required but I do recommend it for stability - is friction sway control, which will work so long as your trailer does NOT have hydraulic surge brakes: - Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 You will also need the Reese Sway-Control Bracket for...

  • What Bolts Should I Use To Install A Draw Tite Class 3 Trailer Hitch
  • While grade 8 bolts like you have are recommended to install a class 3 trailer hitch, I do not recommend using the bolts in your picture. For a trailer hitch like the Curt #14001 you were looking at, it uses 1/2" x 13 grade 8 bolts. Hitch manufacturers including Draw-tite and Curt recommend only using manufacturer approved hardware. We can provide a complete hardware kit of all manufacturer approved hardware in part # RHK. Just enter to correct part number from your hitch before adding...

  • Carrier is Hitting the Ground When Attached to 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Trailer Hitch
  • We have a couple of potential options for you that can help, but there isn't a way to strengthen a hitch in regards to its capacity. So the first thing to do is check to ensure you aren't exceeding the tongue weight limit of the hitch that is on your 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. So just be sure your wife's wheelchair and I assume wheelchair carrier is no more than 350 lbs if your 2007 Santa Fe has the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13538 or 525 lbs if you have the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75471.

  • Solution for Waste Water Staying in Sewer Hoses on RV
  • What I strongly recommend instead that will fix your problem is the Flush King Reverse Flush Valve for RV Holding Tanks and Sewer Hoses - 3" Diameter # F02-4350 because it is designed for the exact problem you are having. It will flush the hoses so the waste water does not stay the "T" on your photo. It would require you to hook up a hose, Flushing Hose for RV Sewer System # W01-4180 (15 feet) or # W01-4300 (25 feet) but would be the remedy to your issue. I have added a link to a video...

  • Is Plastic Lock Knob on Thule Force XT XL Flimsy
  • Let's start with the locks, and the locking mechanism isn't flimsy, and keys are definitely not more likely to break in the Thule Force XT XL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6358B. As for the Yakima box, the mounting procedure will essentially be the same as with the Force XT XL # TH6358B (with the exception of the Force not using the tool to tighten the clamps). Assuming you have some height with the use of something like a step stool # TE97FR, you won't have to go to both sides to tighten the...

  • Will The Curt 13538 Allow Me To Store A Spare Tire Under A 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • The Curt hitch # 13538 is the correct hitch for a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. It should allow for storage of a full size spare tire without any issue. We have installed this hitch here a 2009 Santa Fe and it all fit together fine. That said when we installed, the spare tire was fully inflated but we did not move it. I can see how getting it back into position could be tricky. In this case I am not aware of a work around. My recommendation would be to let as much air out of the tire as you...

  • What is The Purpose Of The Power Module On The Tow Harness For a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe?
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR which is plug and play for your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe has a powered converter module and is compatible with your all LED lighting. This powered module serves 2 purposes. First it combines the separate brake light and turn signal wiring into a combined system used on trailers. It also reduces the amount of strain put on the factory wiring by sending power from the vehicle battery to the trailer lights. This is important since the tail...

  • Can Draw-Tite Class III Hitch 75471 Carry 350 lb Motorcycle on 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • As long as the combined 362 lb weight of the bike and the weight of the carrier you'll use doesn't exceed the 525 lb tongue weight capacity of the Draw-Tite # 75471 Class III hitch and the combined weight of the two doesn't exceed the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle as mentioned in the owner's manual, you should be fine carrying the motorcycle. If you don't already have a carrier in mind, I'd recommend the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979033 which can accommodate tires up to 5 inches wide. The...

  • Can Vehicle Wiring Harness Be Connected to 12V Accessory Outlet for Power on 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • The Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C56184, has a powered converter which isolates all of the power draw to the black power wire. This power wire must be connected directly to the battery in order to safe guard the vehicle's electrical system. When the wiring harness is wired according to the installation instructions, the vehicle's wiring system will not be exposed or put in jeopardy in the event of a short in the trailer's wiring or lighting. If you were to tie into the 12V accessory plug...
