Great purchasing experience. Ordered on Saturday and arrived on Monday. Installation was easy thanks to the great how-to video on their website.

Easy installl. Only problem was factory bolt holes had a lot of paint in them making hard to get bolts started. This is 3rd or 4th hitch I have bought from etrailer and I always receive within 2 days. Fast and friendly service. Bud answered all of my questions
Thank you

Great quality, perfect fit, easy to install. Parts and labor through Hyundai dealership was over $[XX]! This install also only took 45 minutes. Dealership was going to charge 3 1/2 hours labor at $[XX] an hour. I am very pleased with my purchase.

The shipping was somewhat vague. on what was coming and what was just forwarded and shipping at a different date. I received the hitch, connector, and floor mats but the tonneau cover was not coming until the 26th of March. Nothing real showed that in the shipping info I was receiving. Other than that everything showed up from ETrailer quickly and in good shape. Still waiting on the tonneau cover. After a quick phone call got the shipping date on the tonneau cover and good with it.

Hitch receiver was a simple bolt in install. Looks and fit perfectly to my santa cruz. Easy to install and saved me a lot of money compared to a factory installed unit.

I have towed regularly 4000-5000 lbs with my 2022 Santa Cruz with this hitch…absolutely no problems. It’s as if it was OEM. Thanks Curt!!
by: Bryan 05/15/2024
It went ok. A little difficult trying to tighten bolts on passenger side. Took me about 2 hours doing it myself.
Harness was quick and easy.
by: Jose11/02/2022
The hitch works. I gave it a three star because it came with the box damage and the hitch bent. I inquire to etrailer about it, and was told that I should be able to straighten it. I did but, I am not able to secure one bolt. As it does not align properly.

I am using the hitch but because the The hitch came bent, I was not able to straiten it to its original form so, I could not install one bult. So, I use it with limited weight less then 1000 lbs.
by: Paul 03/30/2024
Fantastic product fantastic service, my order actually delivered three days early. Very impressive. It arrived in perfect condition. With additional parts for installation that I did not expect. Made the installation simple.
Thank you again

Packaging of hitch is minimal and even the second shipment experienced some holes in the box. Customer service was outstanding, fast and helpful. Both the hitch and the harness fitted well. I would recommend viewing the instillation on Youtube. I installed the hitch by myself using the muffler to hold one end up while threading the bolts on the opposite side. Then removed two of the three exhaust hanging grommets on the exhaust to then thread & tighten the three bolts on the passenger/exhaust side. I did not disconnect the battery when installing the harness and experienced no issues. Thanks to Etrailer.

I only buy vehicle hitches from you all! The video of how to install it myself was spot on! Shipping was fast!!!
by: Kent10/30/2022
Like all Kurt products it installed with excellent instructions and a minimum amount of hassle. It took some physical effort but there were no surprises. I just actually used it for the first time this last week. Trailered a 900 lb. motorcycle 400 miles and back with no issues. Great values for the money.

Recently i got my self a 2024 santa cruz and it came with no Trailor hitch and of course the dealer wonted over a thousand dollars to in stall one, others a little less like u hall. so i went on the enter net and checked out etrailer as well as others and decided to buy there product with free shipping. fast shipping and thats important, and it arrived in three days. box took a little beating but the hitch was fine and i recommend padding the hitch ends as shippers as you know put all packages to the test. the hitch is very well made with strong iron and power coated nicely. i'm a eighty one year old man so it took me by my self about two and a half hours to complete the job enclouding the wiring harness. i'm pleased that i only see the hitch receiver and not all the hitch as that makes a good looking bumper as you see it from the rear. because i had no help to install the hitch i did employ a bottle jack to assist me during the installation and it all worked out quite well. pleased with the product but the photo helpers need to be cleared up for better visual . I did a great job with a good product to work with. If you need a hitch, give these people a try i think you will like what you get.

The hitch arrived in a cardboard box and looked great. When I tried to install the hitch, I found that the mounting plate on the driver's side of the hitch was bent , likely from having been dropped on that end of the box. When the hitch was mounted to the passenger side of the vehicle the mounting plate on the driver side was about 1 1/2 inches from the mounting holes in the chassis. I used a chain fall and a couple of trees to pull the driver side plate back into position so that I could then mount the hitch to the vehicle. Had it not been for the need to straighten the mounting plate, the installation would have taken about an hour. I also should mention that I am 70+ years old and I managed the installation alone so it was not a difficult task. I gave it 4 stars because of the bent mount, otherwise it was a 5 star.

This hitch is made of mild steel which causes it to flex over pot holes and rough terrain, but also can happen during shipping which causes it to bend. Here are tips to fix the issue in this help article:

Nice design, well constructed,great fit, good instructions, easy install.
Backed the Santa Cruz Night Edition onto a couple of 2"x6" planks to get some extra space for workout underneath, worked well.

One of the few things that works as advertised. No problems with installation. No problems in a year towing on multiple trips moving kids stuff. Absolutely the BEST!

The hitch receiver fit great. I did the installation on the ground by myself. Things were a little tight but with your excellent videos I was prepared for what needed to be done.

The main differences between the two hitches are that the Curt is made in the USA and the Draw-Tite has a built in tab to mount a 4-way or 7-way wiring bracket.

The Curt item # C23WR and Draw-Tite item DT48GR hitches are nearly identical class III hitches and we have not heard about any issues with swaying bike racks.

You're going to need both a 4-way and 7-way connector because there isn't an aftermarket option to give you just the 7-way. You will also need a brake controller and a wiring adapter amongst other things that I have listed below. The first harness you'll need is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C45FV. This will provide you with a 4-flat connector. The...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring, and Brake Controller for 2023 Hyundai Santa CruzFirst I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23WR. This will give you a 2" receiver for a Ball Mount # EBMK4. You will then need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C68JR to tie into the factory wiring. This will give you the 7-way your trailer will require. Then you will be able to install a Redarc Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR. You will connect this by splicing into the factory wiring using a Harness # RED69FR.

This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Hyundai with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

view full answer... - Recommendation For Carrying Two 45LB Bikes With a 2023 Hyundai Santa CruzI reached out to a local Hyundai Dealer who informed me your factory Tonneau Cover is not capable of supporting any weight for additional accessories. This will leave you the option using a hitch mounted bike rack due to the weight of your bikes. Most rooftop carriers are only capable of supporting up to 44lbs. A hitch mounted bike rack like the Kuat # BA22B is going to be the easiest to use. This will require a 2" receiver which the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23WR will provide. I...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2022 Hyundai Santa CruzFor your 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz the Curt hitch part # C23WR is a confirmed fit and a really great option. It has great towing capacities and mostly hidden. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. Then for trailer wiring the Curt T-Connector kit part # CU94FR is the way to go as well since it installs very easily and has a very reliable converter box.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness Confirmed To Fit a 2024 Hyundai Santa CruzYes, we do have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23WR which has been confirmed to fit your 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz. I do recommend also installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C68JR when you install the receiver. This will give you the larger 7-blade connection or you can use the Adapter # PK12716 if you are towing a smaller trailer with only a 4-way flat connector.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Hyundai Santa CruzYes, we do. To add a hitch to your 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C23WR. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts completely behind the rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but it helps with ground clearance. Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item...

And I do understand your confusion with wiring since you would think since it did not come with the receiver you would not have the factory tow package. Both the Tekonsha 7-Way # TK44ZR(without tow package) and Curt 7-Way # C68JR(with tow package) are going to have the exact same connector that connects them to the vehicle. So that leads me to believe the only real difference for the...
view full answer... - Are The Mounting Bolts & Washers Included With the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23WR?Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23WR does include the 6 bolts and washers for attaching to your 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz. I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR when you install the receiver. This will control the tail lights on most small trailer with a 4-way flat connector. It will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you have a hitch mounted accessory which impairs the view of your tail lights.

This will give you the wiring needed to install a 7-way along with the wiring for a brake controller. You will be able to plug and play the Redarc Liberty Controller # RED24FR using the Adapter # 331-TPH-017. The Redarc is a great controller as it only uses a small dash mounted control knob. You can attach the 7-way to the Curt Receiver # C23WR using the Mounting...

However, your Santa Cruz must have the factory towing package from Hyundai. There currently is not a harness for the non-towing package vehicles as of yet. I can also confirm that the Curt Hitch # C23WR is also a confirmed fit for your Santa Cruz and will be a direct bolt on application,.
