This Curt trailer hitch receiver gives you 2,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight—just right for small trailers, light gear haulers, or a bike rack. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" opening supports common Class I accessories, so you can tow a small camper, mount a cargo basket, or carry bikes without overbuilding your setup.
The hitch is made for a straightforward DIY install. It bolts on using the included hardware and existing mounting points, so there’s no cutting or welding to worry about. Precision, robotic welding ensures everything lines up where it should, making it easier to fit securely with basic tools in your own garage.
The round-tube design is made from fully welded steel for solid strength and long-term durability. A gloss black powder coat over a protective base coat helps fight off rust and corrosion while keeping a clean look under the bumper. It’s engineered to hold up through everyday towing and weather exposure without flaking or fading.
Pair it with the proper drawbar, pin, and clip (sold separately) to set up your towing gear or switch over to a bike rack or cargo carrier when needed. Whether hauling home project supplies or taking bikes out for the weekend, this Class I receiver adds reliable capability without changing how your vehicle drives day to day.

Curt hitch, ball mount, ball, pin, and wiring for 2011 Sonata - Everything came within 3 days and I installed it with minimal pain in half an evening after work. The videos online help A LOT. I did drop my dual exhaust system on my head, which caused me to utter the bad words. Also - I do not own a die-grinder, so to open the forward holes in the frame, I worked my saws-all up in there and went to town...irritating to have to do, but minimally so. You WILL need some kind of power tool for that part. My point - this came on the DAY I sold my Jeep and I had it installed in time to do some light towing that same night. eTrailer frickin ROCKS. I had just over $200 into everything and my buddy at the local garage quoted me about $450 for parts and labor for this job. I'm...just...frickin...PLEASED. Wiring kit was so simple it was unreal, too. All in all...just...pleased.
This item arrived at my home undamaged. I open up the box and was very amazed at the craftsmanship of the product. Looks like it was built for a Nissan Titan. After installing, this product does look very stealthy under the rear bumper. I also purchased a 1.25 to 2 inch adapter to give me some extra room away from my bumper. I pull a motorcycle trailer with 2 street motorcycles. I have little sag in the rear since the trailer (5x8) is very well balanced. I don't see any affects on breaking to added stress to the transmission as others might post. The Sonata manual states that this vehicle isn't intended for towing, but if you are smart, don't ever exceed the recommended gross weight of your vehicles capabilities.
This hitch is amazing extremely sturdy all weld points look superb. I installed it by my self in my garage with no special tools the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the fishing wire used to pull the bolts into place did not work at all. The first bolt got stuck and would not pull through the hole due to the wire, so I was forced to pull the wire very hard making the wire come apart and no longer work as intended. I then had to take the wire and a pair of needle nose pliers and wrap it around the bolts my self just using one wire instead of two in doing this the other three bolts went like a dream. The rest of the job was super easy. I have a 2012 Hyundai sonata hybrid and used this hitch to pull a medium trailer with my 900 pound motorcycle on it and it all worked AMAZING so I do strongly recommend this product
I received the hitch quickly and the installation directions and video support on YouTube was right on. It took about 1 hr. to install the hitch and I am very happy with it. I am in the process of ordering other products from etrailer because they have great solutions and price match any equal deal which they did on this purchase.
I Highly recommend etrailer for price and customer service.
That works for me.
High quality hitch that was fairly straight forward on installation. The instructions were complete enough and well diagramed, that even a non-mechanical person, such as myself, could properly install it. I have since sold the car, but the addition of the hitch for bike and accessory racks, was an added value.
Installation went well and after a year we've been completely pleased with the hitch, using it to carry a bike rack. The only tricky installation story was that I needed a Dremel to widen a pair of holes in my 2012 Sonata's frame, in order to fish the bolts through. I remember it taking me about 3 hours, and I could probably do it again in 1.5.
Hitch was very easy to install! I took a little more time on the heat sheilds and am very happy with the results. e trailer youtube video was very helpful.
Installed on my 2013 Sonata GLS. Very professional product, quick shipping and a very reasonable cost. I did install this myself, believe me, it's pretty darn easy. This is definitely a 2 person job to actually bolt up the hitch once you have installed the bolts through the frame. I had to modify the front two holes as the installation video's show. I have attached a couple pics of the installation. The side view is to show the distance I lifted the vehicle with jack stands. I just used a strap and went from spring to spring to support the exhaust and the final pic is of the installed hitch. Local shop wanted $300 to install. It took me all of 2 hours, not bad for a fat middle aged white haired dude.
I have just installed the trailer hitch. The delayed install from the purchase date is due to the cold MN weather. The installation went exactly according to the instructions. I had to enlarge the forward most holes to install bolts and support plate. I also removed the two heat shields and cut a hole for the forward bolt to come through then reinstalled before installing hitch. I am retired 40+ years as an auto tech. I mention this because this is not easy to install alone because of the weight and alignment of hitch over the bolts. I used a motorcycle lift to help with lifting and alignment of hitch which worked well. I also used car ramps and did this install with a creeper. I really like how it looks; it is hidden quite well. I am using this with a bicycle rack. I have not purchased a trailer wiring harness yet since I am not towing a trailer. However, it is a solid unit which will work great for a trailer for light hauls for a 2013 Kia Optima.
I bought (Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4"
Item # C11025) last year and it has worked out.
If you install it yourself be ready for a pretty big job. I did it and would do it again but it was a tough dirty job.
The product itself has been fantastic with no issues. We're using it to support a bike rack for 2 bikes on a Kia Optima.
Do not try to use this for 4-bikes as that would overload the 1 1/4" hitch capability.
This has worked fine. My only problem was that I din't have the necessary tools to elongate the holes in the frame. I took the car and hitch to my auto shop and they lengthened the holes and installed the hitch. The hitch has worked fine otherwise.

We did like the hitch and harness. They both worked perfectly.
Prompt order and shipping communication. Thorough installation guidance via online videos. Fast shipping and well packaged. Received quickly and in excellent condition. Took a bit longer to install because I installed it on 2015 Optima by myself, but it bolted right in. The supplied fish wires worked extremely well. Very important to make sure bolts are torqued as specified.

No issues whatsoever. I use it for my bike rack and to occasionally tow my Yamaha Waverunner. Purchased the 4 pin tow lighting wiring adapter and it installed quickly and with no wiring modifications.
Fantastic product, perfect fit for our car and very solid. Shipped very quick as stated. We will definately purchase from etriler again.
This product was high quality, easy to order, and was delivered faster than I had expected. I am extremely pleased and would order future products for sure through this company. It did however take closer to an hour to install then the 20 minutes the product advertised.
Receiver hitch was easy enough to install on my 2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS. I put the rear of the car up on ramps and left it there for 3 days working about an hour or two each evening as time allowed. If I didn’t have the luxury of using my wife’s car and needed to minimize the time my car was unavailable, I probably would have needed 4 hours for the full install and cleaning everything up. Hitch is solid for what I use it for, a hitch mounted bike rack. Not a single chip or fade in the finish after one year. I park outside also.

Hitch is still solid, no visible chips in the finish.
Ordered so that I could have a bike rack. Shipped and delivered quickly and email included video installation instructions. We came across no surprises during installation. I would definitely recommend trailer.com!
Hitch arrived lightening fast. Received it in 2 days. Regular shipping. Product arrived as advertised. Installation was almost as easy as the directions claimed. Works perfect for my needs. Thanks.
I needed a hitch for my new bike rack, etrailer was the best priced and best service from them.
fits perfect and well made
Great product from this company. This is my 3rd tow hitch and they have all been a perfect fit.
I needed a way to tow a trailer to San Diego as my daughter is going away to college. Heather was not only very professional in helping me select the correct receiver hitch and wiring harness but she also very friendly as well. She said my order would ship out the following day but she got it shipped out the same day and I received my hitch one day earlier than expected! I found installation very easy with the assistance of the video posted online by etrailer.com. The hitch fit my Optima perfectly. I will purchase a hitch for my other car through etrailer.com as well as recommend them to all of my family and friends.
Have not installed yet.. Since heat shield as to be trimmed and there could be rustly bolts, installation is maybe several hours, not the low 40min you claim.
Hope to install before November.

Installation seen to be more difficult. Need to lower exhaust do some shield cutting. May be some rusty bolts on shield. Probably several hours work. Call U Haul for installation cost $150 to install. Still not installed after 1 year.
Great hitch. Looks good. Structurally sound. Written instructions plus video’s that I understood…however, I had to have my mechanic install utilizing his car lift. He said it was straight forward and easy.

Great after one year. My wife and I are in our seventies and install our bike rack and bikes ourselves and drive up I-95 from Savannah to Hilton Head with our e-bikes. The hitch works wonderfully with no problems.
Thanks etrailer! Awesome trailer hitch and bike rack. I had my mechanic install the hitch. I printed the installation instructions and went to see him and ask about installing and he told me no problem. I dropped off the car in and the morning before work and it was ready when I got off work. The hitch is solid and perfect for the Swagman XTC2 bike carrier. I forgot to buy the recommended support strap, but I had a small ratchet strap already that works perfectly. It’s very solid and secure when in use.
This really is a very economical way to add bicycle hauling to my 2012 Sonata.

It’s a hitch that’s working without a hitch it does what it’s supposed to. It still looks nice under my Hyundai Sonata.
This is the 2nd time I have ordered a hitch receiver (first was for my Scion xb) and I could not be happier with this hitch on my wife's Sonata. I installed it myself-took me longer, but mostly that was dealing with axle stands and the extra heft of a hybrid.
The e-trailer videos are excellent-I reviewed on my phone as I installed, and using basic tools I was able to complete the job at hand-really liked the included kit and threaded bolts/captive plates. Overall everything is solid feeling.
Late writing a review because we just drove 2,500 miles with 2 bikes (and kid's run bike) on our Yakima hitch (also purchased from e-trailer...) Always recommend you when people ask about hitches-fast delivery and great service with excellent helpful videos-cheers!
