Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installation - 2011 Hyundai Sonata- Video

Hi, I'm Shane with etrailer.com. Today you're going to be taking a look at and I'm going to walk you through the installation on the Draw-Tite class I trailer hitch receiver on your 2011 Hyundai Sonata.Adding a hitch to your vehicle is going to make your vehicle a lot more versatile. It's going to allow you to move cargo from inside the vehicle to the outside. Maybe you're putting on a cargo carrier or maybe a bike rack and you don't want to carry your bikes inside to make more room for your passengers. Another benefit to adding a hitch to your vehicle is when you're loading your cargo carrier or loading your bikes onto the bike rack, if it's on the hitch you're not going to have to have lift it as high. If you had it on a roof rack, that's a lot higher and you're going to have to lift those items to get them either in your cargo carrier or to put your bikes up on the rack.One thing to keep in mind is with this being a class I hitch you're going to be limited to up to a two-bike bike rack, which brings me to the weight capacities. more

We have those available separately on our website. Welded on the bottom is our plate-style safety chain loop area. What's nice about these is that they do have a decent size opening so even if you have a somewhat large hook in your trailer, if you plan on towing a trailer with your Sonata you'll still easily be able to hook up the chain to it.On the end of our receiver we have this collar that's welded on. more

So we are just going to take it down and leave it off. It really does not serve much of a purpose and the hitch will be in the way anyways. It looks like there are two fasteners hiding back here too, one here and here. You can see that this is where, if the vehicle had dual exhaust, it would be in this spot here.

Also, we sprayed down the rubber hangers with some WD-40 to help loosen them up a little bit. On the last one here we are just going to take out this bolt here. What you want to do is spray this down pretty good with WD-40 and let it soak a little bit, because these bolts that sit out underneath the vehicle are prone to freezing up. more
