Draw-Tite Tested Tough
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
etrailer.com Technical Support
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

Hitch is bent over 2" (Bolt holes will not line up with frame, Bolts that come with Kit will not fit in the frame holes (more mods),
Needs a lot work to install. Mod to under side on the car is needed (Muffler Heat shield, Under side of bumper) If I could return it I would. I don't recommend it, unless you vary handy with body work and bending steel. On a 2013 Kia you need to remove the Exhaust Pipes and mufflers to have room to install.

Everything worked just like you would expect. Instructions were easy to perform and the overall install fit as it should. Very happy customer. This product will be used primarily as a holder of a KUAT bike rack. We have a small [retailer] trailer and a log splitter pull around a bit.

The hitch wasn't what I ordered and parts were missing.Return policy says you won't take open box return.

Well that is not entirely true. We do accept returns, as long as the product was not installed.
by: Cris 09/08/2022
The hitch itself has worked great for what it is and was easy to install, I really liked the install kit it came with.
My only complaint is that it doesn't use the standard 2" receiver and I had to buy another receiver. I HATE having to have duplicate items for the same task as I already had two with ball hitches that fit my small open and larger enclosed trailer. I'd give it 5 stars if it had a 2" receiver.

etrailer always has the best prices, the fastest free shipping, and the best customer service. I put my hitch on in my garage in about an hour. All parts there, clear detailed instructions. I am a repeat customer and will always look to etrailer for my next purchases.

Received my hitch 4 days earlier than I was notified it would be delivered. :)
Hitch installed easily, but it had minor damage from shipping (a bracket for the muffler hanger was bent). Rather than return item, I just straightened it.
Overall, great service/product.

Overall, Im happy with the hitch for my Sonata, but I wish it was a little higher. It sometimes drags on the curb ramp when going out of driveways.

Didn’t come with attachment instructions so it hasn’t been installed yet.

2015 Kia Optima
I put this hitch on my 2015 Kia Optima. I am a Mechanic/fabricator and I am used to improvising and minor modifications when installing accessories or equipment upgrades. This hitch was a breeze to mount, due to the informative reviews on the website I purchased from I was prepared for the need to enlarge the bolt holes in the frame (to an egg shape or widening slightly) so that the washer/nut would slide up inside, I use an inexpensive hardened steel burring bit not unlike a short drill bit in my makita drill. I also cut off the excess square tubing and welded steel caps in place to give the hitch a cleaner look from the side. It took about and hour to modify the hitch and not much more to install. I use it to haul my two mountain bikes, excellent hitch!
by: James 09/08/2022
I was able to install this hitch with ease. I followed the instructions while watching the video. I have had no problems with the hitch and use it all the time.
by: Pedro monteiro06/11/2019
Took about 45 minutes due to lack of knowing where my proper tools were and I was able to put it on myself using both my knees to hold it up!!
by: Stevend12/17/2019
The trailer hitch is exactly what I hoped it would be-a convenient way for me to carry bikes with a small hitch behind my car, easy to handle, easy to store and very secure, the installation took a bit of knuckle busting, but that’s to be expected. High-quality product taking my bikes where I want.

2015 Kia Optima
the parts were as described and fit my 2015 Optima perfectly. It is a bit difficult mounting the hitch to bolts that can be pushed back into the frame. it would be good to include at thin push on keeper that could be pushed over the bolts while the fishing wire was attached so bolts couldn't get pushed back into the frame. Otherwise great, look forward to using it with a bike rack.

2012 Hyundai Sonata
This hitch is AWESOME! It took roughly 2 hours for me to install it on my 2012 Hyundai Sonata Limited, but it fit perfectly and looks amazing! I towed a snowmobile and some other stuff on a 5x8 trailer for 2 hours with absolutely no problems. Would highly recommend for anyone with a Sonata! I probably wouldn't recommend it, but I was pulling around 1400lb with it!!!

See what our Experts say about this Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch
- What Size Trailer Hitch is Available for 2019 Hyundai SonataFor lighter duty vehicles like your 2019 Hyundai Sonata there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Draw Tite part # 24965. The 2 inch hitches are reserved for higher capacity vehicles like trucks and SUVs.

The reason that this is the largest cargo carrier we have for your Optima is because they only offer class I trailer hitches for this vehicle, the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch part # 24965 or the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch part # C11025. The above class I trailer hitches then have a maximum...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2013 Kia Optima The only trailer hitch receivers available for your 2013 Kia Optima are Class I with a 1-1/4" receiver opening. The two options available are the Curt # C11025, and Draw-Tite # 24965. Between these two options I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24965 due to it not requiring a stabilization strap when carrying a non-trailered load. You will need to make sure that the accessories you use are compatible with a Class I receiver. If you are planning on using a bike rack I recommend the Hollywood...

view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo with # 24965 Class I HitchYes, I would recommend the Swagman XC Wheel Mount Bike Rack, # S64650, for your 2011 Hyundai Sonata Turbo, with the Draw-Tite Class I Sportframe Trailer Hitch, # 24965. This bike rack installs easily, stores in a minimal space, can be carried in the trunk if needed, and secures the bikes very well. Another great feature is the raised shank that provides plenty of clearance for entering and exiting steep drives and going over large speed bumps. We have a video review of this rack for you...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Hyundai Sonata HybridThe Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24965, will fit your 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. This hitch does not include the ball mount. To install on your vehicle you will need to lower the exhaust and the heat shield will need to be trimmed. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Draw-Tite. The instructions will show in detail where the heat shield needs to be trimmed. If you will be towing with this hitch you will also need the following items. Tow Ready 2...
view full answer... - Comparing Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24940 and # 24965 for 2016 Kia OptimaThe Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver 24940 and # 24965 both will fit 2011 to 2017 Kia Optima models. The only difference between them really is that the # 24965 will also fit 2018 Hyundai Sonata's excluding the hybrid as well where the discontinued part 24940 only fit Sonata models through 2017. There is no difference for your 2016 Kia Optima, so I recommend the less expensive of the two. If you will be using this hitch receiver for towing, I recommend the ball mount # 3593...

This rack will fit an 1-1/4" trailer hitch which is the only size available for your Sonata. If you need a trailer hitch the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24965 is a good option. This rack comes with 4 wheel cradles and two frame mount hooks. If you remove the trike adapter bar and install...

That said my recommendation is the Draw-Tite. The Draw-Tite # 24965 will not fit models made in Korea so that is important to check. These hitches both have the same capabilities but the only difference in look is the square receiver tube of the Draw-Tite vs. round tube of the Curt. The Curt is slightle...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Hitches for a 2012 Kia Optima Tow a Rental TrailerYes, Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24965 for your 2012 Kia Optima is capable of towing a Uhaul rental trailer. You will also need a ball mount # 3593 and a properly sized ball (whatever the trailer requires) as well as a wiring harness to operate the trailer lights. If the trailer takes a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256. And if it takes a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And to add a trailer wiring harness I recommend T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # 118453 to add...
view full answer... - Country of Origin for Draw-Tite Hitches 24940 and 24965Curt trailer hitches, such as the Class I hitch # C11025 that fits the 2012 Hyundai Sonata (both hybrid and non-hybrid versions) is made in the USA. Draw-Tite # 24965 is manufactured in their plant in Mexico. All hitch options for your 2012 Hyundai Sonata are shown on the linked page.
view full answer... - Towing Capacity of 2016 Hyundai SonataFrom what I was able to determine by checking the owner's manual of your 2016 Hyundai Sonata, they do not recommend trailer towing with this vehicle. This doesn't mean you absolutely cannot, but your best bet would be to consult with your local Hyundai dealership to determine what they recommend for your vehicle to make it possible. If you find out from them that you are able to tow a small trailer carrying your Harley, you'll need a hitch, wiring harness and ball mount with hitch ball...
view full answer... - Bike Rack to Carry 45 lb Bike with a 2015 Hyundai SonataThe only way you can carry a 45 lb bike with your 2015 Hyundai Sonata is to use a hitch mounted bike rack since all of our trunk racks can't accommodate a bike that weighs that much. You would need to have a hitch installed like the Draw Tite part # 24965 and then you could use the T2 bike rack part # TH9045 which has the capacity for your bike and would work well. This is one of the nicest bike racks on the market and one of the few with the needed capacity.
view full answer... - Differences Between Draw Tite Hitches for 2013 Kia OptimaWhile very similar there are few key differences between the two Draw Tite hitches that fit your 2013 Kia Optima. The part # 24965 costs less but has a more in-depth install which requires underbody panel trimming/removal. The part # 24853 will install in almost half the time and does not require trimming of underbody. I attached install videos for both hitches as well.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit for 2013 Hyundai Sonata for Bike RackLike you said, there are trailer hitch receiver fits for a 2013 Hyundai Sonata, but they are all Class I hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and there are no 2 inch hitches available for this vehicle. This can happen a lot of times with sedans or coupes that are not really designed for towing; a lot of times for these vehicles the hitch manufacturers will only make the smaller 1-1/4 inch hitches. So for a hitch, there are two fits for your 2013 Sonata, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #...
view full answer... - Easiest Way to Carry Bikes on a 2013 Hyundai SonataFor your 2013 Hyundai Sonata (based on your concerns) I would advise a different method with which to carry bikes. Getting a bike on a roof rack can be difficult especially for a smaller person regardless of arm strength. So for you I recommend using either a trunk mount bike rack or a hitch mount bike rack. Either of these options will also cost less than a roof rack and roof bike rack and will make it easier to load the bikes. For a trunk mount bike rack I recommend the Yakima FullBack...

I checked with Hyundai and they only say that towing with this vehicle is not recommended and they do not provide a capacity. They don't say you can't tow though. If you do want to tow then the trailer hitch does not come with the proper ball mount. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring use # C56390 for hybrid models or...
view full answer... - Recommended Class I Bike Carrier For a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid For E-Mountain BikeFirst you will need a Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24965 to be able to carry a bike rack on your 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. This is needed as your E-Mountain Bike is going to weigh to much for a trunk mounted rack or roof rack option. I prefer the Draw-Tite over the Curt # C11402 as the crossbar is one solid piece and is not cut in half with the receiver tube welded in. The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU64FR will carry one bike up to up to 60lbs with up to a 3" wide...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch and Trailer Wiring for 2014 Kia Optima HybridThe Draw-Tite Class I hitch you referenced, part # 24965, would work well as long as the weight of the trailer plus its cargo was less than the 2000 lb capacity of the hitch. You'll also want to make sure that the weight of the trailer plus whatever's loaded on it doesn't exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle itself. I checked an online copy of the owner's manual for the Optima's towing capacity, but wasn't able to find any capacity listed, so you'll need to check with your Kia dealer. A...
view full answer... - Differences Between Curt and Draw-Tite Hitches for 2019 Hyundai SonataThere are a few differences. First and foremost, the Curt # C11402 is a fit for all 2019 Sonata models, while the Draw-Tite # 24965 won't fit Hybrid models or models manufactured in Korea (If first digit of VIN is a 'K', vehicle was manufactured in Korea). Both hitches have identical capacities and would install in a similar manner, but the Curt model uses a round crosstube, while the Draw-Tite uses a square crosstube. Some folks consider the round crosstube to be more aesthetically pleasing. As...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch-Mounted Kayak and Bike Carrier for Use on 2014 Kia OptimaWe do offer several brands of light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I trailer hitches for your 2014 Kia Optima and all can be seen on the link at right, including the Draw-Tite # 24965. This is the hitch I suggest since it does not require use of a stabilizing strap as some others do. A class I hitch has a tongue weight (downward force) limit of 200-lbs and this translates to it being suitable for use only with 2-bike Class I hitch-mount bike racks. The 2-bike limit applies even if you have a compatible...

This hitch is custom fit for the hybrid models and bolts to your car with included hardware. It is the strongest and safest hitch available for your Sonata. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up. Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C59236 and the Draw-Tite Drawbar item # 3593 and then for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2...
view full answer... - Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver Larger Than Class I For a 2016 Hyundai Sonata? The Curt # C11402 and Draw-Tite # 24965 class I receivers are the only receivers I can find custom fit for your 2016 Hyundai Sonata. This is most likely due to the limited capacity of your Sonata that they did not make a class II as then users may easily overload the vehicle.
