Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.I started with the Draw-Tite product for my 2011 Hyundai Touring, but it wouldn't fit. If you're wanting a hitch, the Curt is really your only option. I used a hydraulic jack to keep the hitch in place, while putting in the bolts and I didn't have any issues. There's only one thing that is an absolute necessity - before trying to install the bolts, you must clean them out with a round pipe brush and a WD-40 like spray. There is rust and other junk in the weld nuts, and cleaning them gets rid if this. I destroyed two brushes doing this work, as the bolts would not go in the nuts without the cleaning.
Hitch install was pretty easy and did not require any modifications to the vehicle. The hardest thing was getting it lined up with the holes in the frame. I would recommend having a one person to hold the hitch up while another puts the bolts in.
Product fitted perfectly on 2014 Hyundai Elantra Touring hatchback. Installation was quick and easy.
Received the package in good order. UPS had set something down on it which crushed the cardboard but it did not damage the hitch. The welding looked GREAT and the black finish was perfect. I noticed the drain holes in the cross tube so that water inside the tube could get out. Good feature.
It took me about four hours to install; however, I do not have a fully equipped shop, just my household garage and hand tools and being 81 years old slows me down more than a little. I still have to get the bolts torqued to 48 lb-ft but I will have the Hyundai dealer do that for me. As other reviewers have noted, the most time was spent lining up the holes in the hitch to the weld-nuts on the Hyundai frame. I finally used chalk to make marks on the frame and on the hitch so that I had something to guide on - trying to see black holes on black steel and a black car frame is difficult. I made vertical and horizontal marks lined up with the center of the frame holes and also on the hitch with those holes. I used a rolling car jack to lift the hitch and hold it while I struggled with getting the bolts started. First lining up the holes with a soda straw helped. Oh, and I cleaned out the holes and pre-lubed with WD-40 as the instruction video suggested. Persistance paid off and I finally got all four bolts in and snugged down. I tightened them as far as the tools would allow but i know they have to be tightened again before towing anything.
I have requested technical support in purchasing the drawbar and ball. When that comes in, the bolts are properly torqued, and I get the wiring kit installed, I should be good to go.
Installed on my Hyundai Elantra Touring. It needs a 2 inch to 1.25 converter since most bike racks are 2 inches, but held steady and lets me take both bikes on swooping turns in the mountains! I dont even know its there.
I installed this hitch on Xmas Day on my sons car. It was an effortless job taking less than 30 minutes. A perfect fit. A heavy duty top quality item that will provide good service for years.
From ordering, to a 3 day delivery, to installation it was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this product for its quality and e trailer for its first class service.
Excellent hitchThis hitch cam came well packed and finished in a nice gloss black paint. All the hardware was there. It fit perfectly with no modifications necessary to my 2010 Elantra Touring. No need to drop exhaust. I installed it myself by lifting it in to position with a small floor jack. Two people might be nice if no jack.
One suggestion for improvementLike the most: The Curt hitch does not require the removal of anything to install.
Like the least: The bolts supplied do not have a self centering feature. They are put in from the side with no visibility to the mounting holes in the car frame. With no centering taper on the end of the bolts, things must align EXACTLY before the bolts will start. Nut you can't see the holes in the car frame and must do it by feel. That turned a 5 minute job into a half hour job real quick!
The hitch came well wrapped so it wouldn't be damaged in shipping. You do not need to drop the exhaust or do any customization work to install the hitch. The best thing to do is grab a friend to help you slip the hitch into place. It took 10 minutes to install this way. The hitch is solid and looks great.
Easy enough to install, still firmly attached after a year+
Bolt in just as described. 4 bolts and done. I did it by myself on my back and it only took about 10 minutes. Great product-thanks
I am very happy with this company. Emily was most helpful and knowledgeable. Hitch came when expected and was perfect.
Thanks
John
A little bit heavy to install, weldnuts were hard to clean but after that it was fine.
Product is excellent although it took a little longer to install. Would recommend highly.
