I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2017 Hyundai Sonata and it states that it is not recommended to tow a trailer, but that doesn't mean you cannot.

The Draw-Tite # 24965 trailer hitch you referenced fits your '17 Sonata so long as it is not a Hybrid, and can be used to tow but has a weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs so you would not be able to exceed those numbers.

In order to tow a trailer you will also need Wiring Harness # C56247 to add a 4-flat to power your trailer's lights. The recommended ball mount for this hitch is the Draw-Tite # 3593 and depending on the jet ski trailer's coupler you need 1-7/8" hitch ball # 19256 or 2" hitch ball # 19258.

If you have a Curt Class I or Class II 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver, you would need the Curt trailer hitch support strap with a cambuckle, part #18050. This strap will provide additional stability and support to the Kuat NV 2.0…

The Draw-Tite #24965 and Curt #C11402 are a lot alike. They both install on your 2018 Hyundai Sonata in basically the same fashion and have the same weight capacities. They do look a little different because the Draw-Tite has a square cross tube and…

Curt Class I and Class II Hitches, such as the #C11025 that is confirmed to fit your 2013 Hyundai Sonata, do require you to use a stabilizing strap #18050 to secure non-trailer loads like bike racks and cargo carriers. This is not necessarily an…

We do have 4-pole trailer wiring harness kits for the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid so long as it is NOT the plug-in version. For this vehicle I suggest the Curt harness #C56390 which offers plug-in installation at the rear of the vehicle, at the back…

You could probably get your bike to fit the 47" max wheelbase of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack #SH22G but it wouldn't fit as snug as it should. Kuat has done a great job at testing their products and so anything over that 47" wheelbase…

Answer 8

Since the max wheelbase of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 #SH22B is 47" your bike with a 48" wheelbase won't fit but I do have a different recommendation for you. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base #BA22B is the next step up to the Sherpa 2.0 in regards to Kuat…

The issue is not with adapter #D101. You can use that adapter to use your Kuat NV in a 2 inch hitch. That is why Kuat made it. They were probably thinking you meant an aftermarket adapter such as #HTAD. The use of an adapter like HTAD will void the…

The question is not moronic, it actually comes up frequently, so no worries! There are adapters that allow you to use 2 inch accessories in a 1-1/4 inch hitch such as #HTAD. However, the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the…

Both Class I and Class II trailer hitches have the same 1-1/4 inch receiever opening, however a Class II hitch will have higher towing and tongue weight capacities. The primary issue with using a Class II accessory in a Class I hitch is that many…

Answer 12

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
