Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability.

In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

The hitch fit perfectly. I have put about 2000 miles of using it since installation.

This a good hitch. No issues.

@Steven Great to hear. Thank you for the update!


by:

I use this for my bike rack. Install wasn’t that hard and the hitch is well made.



by:

e trailer has nailed it as always. Shipped quickly, fit my vehicle perfectly, installation instruction video is spot-on and super helpful. I installed this by myself in about 2 hours start to finish and I’m super happy with how it turned out. Can’t speak to the longevity of the product yet but the initial experience has been great.

The receiver has held up flawlessly. I’ve used it to haul bikes for long road trips and never given a second thought to the security of the receiver.

@Garrett Glad to hear your hitch is working well for you!


by:

Good quality product. Simple and fairly easy installation. I needed another person to help hold it up. Perfect fitment. So far actually used only once, but overall very pleased.

Franklin B.

12/15/2023

It worked great the one time we used it. Paint is still good.



by:

Fitment was such that where it mounted next to spare wheel well made getting spare out very difficult because it squeezed the tire. End of hitch was so far beyond the bumper an extension had to be used to prevent bike carrier hitting bumper.
And it was sent to my old address even after updating the information by phone.
Worst experience I've had with these people, I used to purchase all of my hitches from etrailer.



by:
Pontiac Trans Sport Van

Purchase and delivery was excellent. Trailer itself is high quality. Have used it several times since purchased to transport two road bikes, and is very secure.



by:

Amazing quality. This is my second trailer hitch from etrailer and they are exceptional. My first one was a smooth installation, but this one wasn't nearly as easy. You definitely have to cut down those factory bolts so be prepared to do that. Also, the included short hardware didn't fit. They were a little too short despite giving the holes a thorough cleaning. I've seen some people say they did the install themselves in 45 minutes. They are clearly luckier than I am. I did it myself in about 2 hours and with some audibles.



by:

Easy installation and easy to use



by:

I have a 2014 HYUNDAI SANTA FE GLS which has dual exhaust and technically wasn't covered in the installation video or vehicle fit list. I didnt realize this till I began to install it and once I did I figured what the heck let me try. Ill say this is does fit and bolted right on once I got it in place. The only issue I ran across was the hitch hitting the driver side exhaust cover mounted on the bumper, but all I had to do was remove 2 10mm bolts to get it loose, slide the hitch in place and insert one bolt to hold it and once everything was torqued I went back got the 2 10mm bolts to thread back in. All in all its a solid hitch that one person can install if your willing to get a little dirty. I recommend it for the build quality, ease of installation, and great pricing.

Etrailer Expert

This hitch is not showing that it is a confirmed fit for the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS, it is only a fit for the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. This could be the cause of the exhaust cover being in the way.



by:

Easy install. Great looking hitch

Fits correctly! Have not tried pulling anything with it yet though!

This product still works after a year. We’ve been able to haul a trailer with our lawn mower attached perfectly fine.



by:

the install was so easy fit perfect and looked great used it one time then sold the SUV to buy a truck and installed a new hitch for the truck I purchased it same manufacture and etrailer sold both the hitch and wire harness to me again both company are excellent, the only draw back is the install goes so quick that you will finish to early and haft to go back and finish the honey do list



by:

My 2nd trailer hitch from etrailer, best prices around. Total plug n play hitch, no need to weld or modify. Pleased with the product!



by:

Easy install and looks great



by:

Came in the mail fast and it in great condition! Very happy w this product.



by:

Excellent cutomer service when I called with questions after I took delivery. Thank you.



by:

It is an etrailer product, so not much more to say. Hitch is very well built and heavy duty. The finishing looks great in the vehicle, and the round tube is a perfect fit.

Installation took 1hr:20min, and that is because I did not have one of the tools required to get the bumper pin out of the way, so had to improvise.

etrailer video was paramount for me to complete the installation. I recommend you watch the video prior to installing yours.

I am ready to tow and take our bikes for a ride. Thank you etrailer, for putting money back in my pocket!



by:
2018 Hyundai Santa Fe

Very great material



by:

Hitch came fast and packaged well. Watched a YouTube video and instalation was easy. Highly recommend.

Jeffrey

Hitch is still perfect after almost 2 years. Install was really easy after watching a video. Highly recomend.



by:

This hitch looks great. Very low profile which nothing attached. I don’t have any specialized tools and very basic vehicle mechanical skills and I was down with installation in about an hour. Got this for adding a 60x24 cargo carrier on a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport for some extra room for camping trips. Thank you etrailer for an amazing product!



by:

Shipping was right on time. Very reliable service.



by:
2017 Hyundai Santa Fe

First, let me say I'm very impressed with the whole delivery process. First I received automated notice of the order, typical, then I received an email with the tracking number when it shipped, somewhat typical. However, on the tracking email they supplied two "How To" video links that were specific for my personal vehicle, wow! I had a clear and concise instructional before the part even arrived! And, I didn't have to go find it on my own. Because of this great addition I had an idea of how much time, which tools and the general requirements for the task. I have to admit, it added to the excitement because my concern about what I may need to do was eliminated. In fact, I installed my unit the day it arrived.

In my personal case, the steel was slightly sprung, probably from the welding. It took a little fight and some bumping with a mallet to get things going together. Once I had a few turns on every bolt I just took my time and did about 3 turns to each in a pattern. This was to ensure the bolts were somewhat evenly pulling everything to its final position. The part is a great fit for my Santa Fe. I will definitely recommend and shop with E-Trailer in the future. If you are considering this trailer hitch, I definitely recommend it.



by:

Probably the best customer service I have ever received. My order shipped same day and I received an w-mail stating that. I received my tracking number at that time as well. I also got a confirmation e-mail when it was delivered.

I love their videos also. It’s a great help in deciding which hitch to get AND how to mount it.



by:
2014 Hyundai Santa Fe

Very well made and attractively priced, no need to pay more for the name brand. Like the matte finish. Excellent communication and tracking. This is my second e trailer hitch. Good stuff!



by:

Great quality, perfect fit and very easy installation. I am 70 years old and completed the install in just about an hour in my driveway.

    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98841 is my recommendation. I did check a couple of other manufacturer sites and their fit guides to confirm that they don't make a distinction for the turbo model of the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. This high quality hitch provides a 2" receiver that allows for a variety of accessories like bike # KU74FR and cargo carriers # C18152 if you don't have the need to tow. It's matte black finish blends in well with the undercarriage of the Santa Fe,...

    For your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0 Turbo Ultimate Sport there are three 2" trailer hitch receivers available, the Curt # C13152, etrailer # e98841, and the Draw-Tite # 75772. Out of these three options I recommend the etrailer # e98841 as it is tied with the Curt # C13152 for the highest ratings at 900lbs tongue weight and 6000lbs trailer weight rating, but it has a matte black powder coat finish which best matches the plastic trim on the bottom of your rear bumper. The Curt # C13152...

  • How Can I Transport My 320 Sport Bike on My 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe?
    I have a way for you to safely transport your dual sport bike on your vehicle. I went ahead and looked up the specs for your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, and it has a maximum gross towing weight capacity of 2,800 pounds. If this is the case, the maximum tongue weight capacity of your vehicle is 280 pounds. With this tongue weight capacity, you cannot safely mount via a hitch carrier that requires tongue weight. This is because no matter what hitch you use, your sport bike exceeds that 280 tongue...

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2018-2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport or XL
    From my understanding the Hyundai Santa Fe XL model wasn't released until 2018 for the 2019 model year and it replaced the Sport for the US. So if it's a 2018 Santa Fe it would be called the Sport and I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98841 but if it's a 2019 Santa Fe XL I recommend the Curt # C13153. If you live in Canada then I believe the Santa Fe Sport is the same as the Santa Fe XL so you'll want to use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98841 since it's for the...

    The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98841 when we installed it on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe was 13" from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube. I called U-Haul and they said that the coupler height of the 4x8 cargo trailer is around 16" from the ground to the bottom of the coupler while level therefore you will need to use the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45311 with the 2" Hitch Ball part # A-90.

The bike rack needed will depend on the number of bikes you're wanting to carry and what type of bike they are, but I can run through some recommendations that would work well for most bikes.
