Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2023 Hyundai Sonata Fit the Hybrid Models

Question:

Hi! Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4 I want to install this product on a 2023 Hyundai Sonata SEL HYBRID Does the Hybrid model pose an install issue? Do you agree with the Heat Shield removed. Will the steel from the Hitch Receiver serve the same purpose of the Heat Shield? Ty!

Hey Peter, the Draw Tite hitch part # DT74MR that you referenced does fit your 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid model. The heat shield removal won't affect anything at all. At worst the area in the back of the vehicle might be slightly warmer to the touch if you put your hand on the floor back there but you aren't ever going to notice anything.

The hitch is not designed to replace the heat shield or serve as one.
