Bought this for our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. We have no intention of towing with it, we want it in case we are stuck in snow. We've had 3 blizzards so far this year.
It took me 1 hour plus to install with jack stands and 3" of additional height.
Maybe loosen up the tailpipe.
A little awkward getting the first 2 bolts in but after that "a piece of cake"!

I am so happy with my purchase and will definitely recommend etrailer. I was going to have a hitch dealer put one on my 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe, they wanted over $500.
I. I saved money.
2. it arrived within a few days.
3. It only took an hour to put on.
I bought the hitch cover with a light to check the wiring, since the lights on my trailer are not working.

The trailer hitch and all its components I just purchased for my 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe XL V6 came just as expected for delivery. The installation guide was easy to follow and I was able to get it installed without any problem. The wire harness was plug n play besides running the power wire to the battery which was not very difficult. Thank you for this amazing product, it’ll be used for years to come.!

I had been searching for a few years for the right hitch receiver at an affordable price when I stumbled upon the etrailer.com website. The site was easy to use and search for what I wanted and needed. After a couple of months of contemplating in purchasing this product from the sight, I did my due diligence and searched other sites for the correct product fit that met my needs and cost. The other sites couldn't match the price and product availability. In addition, the DIY videos on the etrailer.com site gave me the confidence to complete the install. From installing the hitch receiver to the connection of the 4-pole wiring kit(hint: if you're vehicle has the prewiring for towing, they have the custom kits to match). The install in total took me about 45 minutes (it helps to have the right tools as well) from prep to finish. Now that I have the capability to tow, I'm going to be able to save on the cost of rentals and now I am even looking at getting a family camping trailer, since our Santa Fe model can tow a good size one. The attached pictures show the completed install. Thanks for everything etrailer.com! You definitely found a new customer and I will be highly recommending this site to my circle of family and friends.

Purchased this hitch for my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. Price was excellent on etrailer.com. Installation took me over an hour. It was the first time I installed a hitch and used a torque wrench. Getting the bolts to the specified torque is what took me the longest due to inexperience and working without a lift. Save money on the installation and do it yourself you will be happy with the end result.
by: Stan W07/20/2018
Very impressed. Fast delivery and easy installation. I purchased the trailer hitch, wiring harness and the two brackets to mount the plug on the hitch and everything fit perfectly. I watched a video or two before starting and all went smoothly.
I'll be back for the mount and ball once I decide what type of camper I am going to purchase. Thanks etrailer!!

This product fits like a glove! I installed it with no issues on my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. Just make sure you have a second pair of hands to align the hitch as it is too heavy for one person while attempting to insert the bolts into the holes. I also love the fact that the hitch can be concealed with the factory rear bumper cover. See pics attached.
Thank you etrailer for a great product and saving me money!

Etrailer is the only place that offered the hitch and information that I needed. The install was as easy as they said it would be and the hitch fit perfect.

My wife and I just finished installing the Curt trailer hitch on my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. It's great to have a partner that likes to get involved in fun projects like this. I also used the Curt wiring harrnes that was specified for my car. WOW it was so easy just like all the reviews testified. We are both very pleasd with the product and most of all the CUSTOMER SERVICE. I was a former Wood shop instructor at our local high school. For 37 years I emphasized attitude, respect, responsibilty and customer service. Every staff member that I talked to was polite, respectful and knowledeable. What a refreshing experince. I have allready told many of my friends about my experience and fell good about directing them to etrailer. I will be buying my wife a 2017 Hyundai Tuson. We will defintly purchase the hitch and all the trailer accessories from etrailer. I will give my wife a hand installing her hitch. Thank you Tori @ etrailer.com! Sincerely, Dave & Deb Phoenix, AZ & Oxnard, CA

Fast shipping , exact item that was pictured on the website . Thick packaging and hitch was protected and well secured in the box (unlike the hitches I’ve ordered past from other stores). Chose Etrailer over other stores because they sent me the wrong one even though the item said it fit my vehicle . Also email communication from Etrailer was unlike any company I’ve ordered from before and showed me they care about customer satisfaction. Thanks

Not sure that I can say any more than everyone else has. Ordering was a snap, shipping was lightning fast, and installation was a breeze. I installed it on my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited in 22 minutes by myself. The videos were 100% correct and very helpful. On a scale of 1-10, this whole process was easily a 10.

The product is awesome but I’m surprised it came in one piece. UPS is a terrible shipping service. The box was all tore up. I don’t understand how a box can take on that much damage and the product still intact.

Great experience, both with this hitch and with etrailer.
Very easy to install. Didn't require dropping the exhaust at all. Everything fit perfectly. Very happy.

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
I recently bought the Curt receiver (p/n C13153) and Tekonsha 4-pin harness (p/n 118269) for use on our new 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Ultimate. We use the hitch to tow a small utility trailer occasionally, and more often use it with a hitch-mounted bike rack. I also ordered a mounting bracket kit and companion adapter plate since I had hoped to have the 4-pin connector mounted to the hitch (v. just zip-tied, etc). For installation of the receiver I dropped the spare tire since it is easy and helps for maneuvering the receiver into place. I did not lower the exhaust. I cleaned the tapped holes in the frame with a spray lube and wire brush prior to mounting, and I think this is a necessary step since a couple of the holes were pretty gunked-up. I checked by running the M10 screws in prior to putting the hitch in place, which I also recommend. I did not have a 2nd person available to help put the receiver in place to install but I had success using a floor jack and a piece of 2x6 to lift the receiver into place and start all the screws. It took a little patience to maneuver past the exhaust but really the fitment of the hitch is very good and it wasn't a bad struggle. A helper is probably the best way to go. As others have said, the videos provided by etrailer.com are really helpful. I finished the hitch installation by torqueing the screws and installing and torqueing the carriage bolts. It is a bit of a job (at least for me) to get the proper torque for the carriage bolts when laying on my back like that, but the overall connection seems super-secure. The spare tire did not interfere with the receiver after installation, though as you'd expect the clearance is small. After the receiver was done I installed the wiring harness. Once again, the video was really helpful and everything went quite smoothly. I found I needed to supply a few of my own zip-ties to secure the wiring to both the hitch and the factory wiring bundle since the provided ones were too short. After this I attempted to mount the 4-pin mounting plate to the hitch but I could not find an orientation that I was happy with and which would not interfere with the removable trim cover for the hitch. On the other hand, I found I was satisfied with leaving the 4-pin connector hooked to the check-chain hole in the receiver, so that is how I will leave it. After finishing the installation I hooked up our trailer. I found that there is a good amount of space in the check-chain openings, at least for our trailer, and the wiring connection (trailer lights) worked perfectly. When I went to install our bike rack I was a little concerned about the space around the hitch hole for the head of the bolt, but when I installed the hitch and anti-rattle bolt the fit was fine. Overall I'm quite happy with the hitch and wiring harness and I'm looking forward to many years of use. As always, etrailer.com was great to deal with and I would always recommend them to anyone looking for towing equipment and accessories.

The hitch receiver shipped quickly and arrived on time. The install was actually really easy. The directions were very clear, and they have videos to help with the install as well. If you don't have the proper tools, including a torque wrench, you may want to have a professional do this. I'm very happy with this purchase!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe LimitedYou can use the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # C13153, that you referenced with your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. Hyundai made two wheel base models for the 2013 Santa Fe. The short wheel base is limited to the sport models only. The Limited and the GLS models have the longer wheel base for the third row seating, so the Curt hitch, # C13153, will fit. I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out. If you plan on using the hitch for a cargo carrier, bike rack or...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe LimitedThe Curt hitch part # C13153 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited and would be a great fit. It's our most popular option for your vehicle, it has the highest towing capacities, and it installs very easily. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Comparing Class III Trailer Hitches for 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe LimitedI recommend the Curt # C13153 because it costs less than either alternative and because it actually has a higher tongue weight (TW) capacity of 900-lbs. TW is downward force on the hitch and this 900-lb rating is more than enough for any hitch-mount bike or cargo carrier. All of the 2-inch Class III hitches offered for your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited are shown on the linked page and all do indeed share very similar design/construction. All will install on your Santa Fe at the exact...
view full answer... - Does Trailer Hitch from 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Fit 2015 ModelThere was a big enough change between the 2008 and 2015 Hyundai Santa Fes that a new hitch fit had to be created so you'd need a new like the Curt part # C13153 which I attached an install video for.
view full answer... - Can 12 Volt Circuit on New 7-Way Connector Use Same Power Wire as 4-Way Powered ConverterYes, you can. We have ran this method of installation by the manufacturers in the past and they have said that you can use that 12 volt power wire from the 4-Way to power the 12 volt circuit on the 7-Way.
view full answer... - Does Curt Hitch C13153 Fit a 2016 Hyundai Santa FeDid you try installing it and ran into issues? I attached an install video that we shot where the # C13153 was installed on a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe without issue. If the bolt holes don't line up properly we have seen this issue turn out to be that the hitch was bent in shipping. If this were the case you could bend the hitch back as long as you don't crease the hitch, or cause any paint to flake off in doing so.
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendations for a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Carrying a Bike RackThe Curt Hitch part # C13153 would be an excellent choice for you a hitch to carry your bike rack designed for 2 inch hitch on your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. As far as hitch installations go, this is one of the easier ones. It should only take you about 30 minutes. Once the hitch is installed the rear fascia will be reinstalled. As far as durability is concerned, this hitch is powder coated to offer superior rust resistance. The hitch also has a limited lifetime warranty. I attached installation...
view full answer... - Carriage Bolts Not Seating All the Way When Installing Trailer Hitch in a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe SESince your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe SE is so new it is possible that the holes for the hitch bolts (that go in horizontally) have some under coating in them that needs to be scraped away in order for the bolts to seat in all the way. But if you are torqueing the hardware down as indicated in the instructions it should still pull the bolts in all the way. What I recommend is to see if clearing away any under coating helps. Also be sure to re-check the torque on the bolts after a week or so...

I attached a link you could follow below.
view full answer... - Does Exhaust Get Lowered to Install Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13153If you want to see the entire install process for the Curt hitch part # C13153 that you referenced on your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe you would want to check out the install video I attached below. Basically you have to take the exhaust off the hangers and that's all it takes to lower it. We use a strap typically to control the movement of the exhaust as it lowers.
view full answer... - What Socket Sizes are Needed to Install Curt Trailer Hitch on Hyundai Santa FeTo install the Curt trailer hitch receiver, part # C13153, on a Hyundai Santa Fe you need both a 3/4 inch socket and a 17 millimeter socket. I've linked an installation video on a 2017 Santa Fe for you as well as the installation details. This hitch fits the Santa Fe GLS and Limited from 2013 to 2015, the SE and Limited from 2016 to 2018, and the XL for 2019.

Typically Curt does specify stabilizing straps are needed when towing non-trailer loads such as hitch mounted bike racks, however this is usually directed toward Class I and II receivers. A stabilization strap helps provide extra support to the receiver when carrying hitch mounted accessories. This strap is...

All three hitches have a capacity that meets or exceeds the towing capacity of your vehicle, so capacity isn't an issue. The Curt Class III, part # C13153 is constructed of square tubing. The receiver opening and the entire crosstube would be visible from the rear of the vehicle. The Hidden Hitch # 87637 and the Draw-Tite # 75776 are identical.

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...

- Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Fit a 2018 Hundai TucsonWe do carry a Curt hitch for the 2018 Hyundai Tucson but # C13153 is only a fit for the Santa Fe.

This will fit your XL model as well as any SE or Limited models but not the Sport. The Sport would use # C13152 instead.

I have attached an article which covers the Class and size differences. For the Sport model, we have a Class III receiver, the Curt, # C13152, which has a 2" hitch opening. For the GLS and Limited, a Class III like the Curt # C13153 is the only option. I personally recommend going with the Class III 2" hitch. Not...

This hitch has a 2" x 2" receiver opening, a max towing capacity of 6,000 lbs and a 900 lb tongue weight capacity. It might seem like overkill for what you're doing, but It's always good to have a hitch with the range to do whatever you want even if you don't end up doing it. You never know, you might change your mind in a year and want to start hauling heavier stuff. Also since you're towing a small trailer you...

Luckily weve not had to use it YET! Its concealed behind a trim cover most of the year so no one knows we have it. I like that its not sticking out the back all year.
