I was very happy with this purchase easy install came with everything to install the hitch. If I ever need another hitch, I will be purchasing it here.3151627

Hitch was everything I expected. It fit the car very well. Well built. Installation is a little tricky if you dont have a lift to put it on.10191

Extremely easy installI installed this hitch & wiring on my 09 Sonata, extremely easy, everything lined up perfectly. Best project I've done in a long time!1573

excellent productNo lies this was an easy install on my 07 sonata. Have duel exhaust and took about 45 min. I did exactly as the video showed and I am sold on this hitch and the ease of installation. Awsome1706

Nice quality hitch.I bought this hitch over the two cheaper ones as in general you get what you pay for. This is the case with Curt Hitches. It installed easily. Everything lined up excellent, all bolts fit and were supplied as was the draw bar. Took about 45 minutes to install due to plastic piece on the car.179

The idea of it being made in America in Wisconsin is one of the reasons that I purchased this product. I purchased it for my Hyundai Sonata to use with my new saris bike rack. So far everything has worked out well.436994

...I installed this hitch on a 2007 Sonota (4 cyl.) today. Had to use a jack to 'force' the second side high enough so the last two holes would align. The tow hook seemed to keep it too low from aligning easily. Also had to lower the exhuast (three bolts) and remove the heat shield (four nuts) above it to get enough room to torque the two bolts on that side. Wiring was fairly simple. The photo in the instuctions for trimming the factory underbody panel was helpful and accurate. Looking forward to using it now.1597

It was easy to install. I'm a skinny guy so I used a jack to hold it in place while I secured it. Holes lined right up, and I've been using it for about a year without any complaints.1192802

Great! Solid piece of equipment.

I have used this hitch and wiring harness extensively over the past year. Works great, great value.499849

Hitch went on exactly like the video on the site showed. FIt perfectly and worked as expected. Used it with a 1.25-2" adapter to hook my bike rack and MTB up. No issues driving with it either. Very satisfied.809003

Worth the extra $22Installed on my '06 Sonata (2.4L I4) with single exhaust.
Needed to remove 2 exhaust hangers, drop muffler and remove the heat shield to install two bolts on passenger side. On driver side, the plastic cover was removed and required minor trimming (as detailed in the instructions)
Hitch required some 'springing' to get the bolts in, but basically everything lined up well. No hitch pin or clip was included, although the description claims it is.
I believe this hitch is superior to the H.H. and D.T. because it utilizes all fours holes in the frame for mounting, vs. just two holes for the others.1083

I spent way too long trying to make this hitch fit my 2009 Hyundai Sonata. When I first lifted the hitch into place, the space between the mounting brackets and the weld-nuts on the frame rail was about 1/2" - 1". I tried using the supplied bolts but could not get them threaded because they were too short to make the gap. I went to the hardware store and got longer bolts. That helped, but I still had to first thread the passenger side and then use a jack to tweak the driver side into position. I should've paid the extra few bucks for the Hidden Hitch. The design looks a lot better and only uses a single bolt on the bracket so you do not need to move the muffler.

The trailer is of very good quality and workmanship. All the hardware needed is included and the instructions are very well laid out. My Hyundai Sonata is different from most, of course, dual exhaust, heat shields and bumper covers that had to be moved or removed to gain access. The only real hassle was my cars real loop where it was attached to the trunk bottom was warped a little that took some "Macgyver-ing" to overcome. I used it yesterday to pick up my trailer and all the other information aided in getting the hitch and trailer connected with no issue. 438217

I recommend providing a longer 3/8"-16x1 3/4" carriage bolt for this installation. The only way I was able to install the .250 spacer through the tow loop to the trailer hitch was to purchase a 2 1/2" carriage bolt at the local hardware store which allowed greater flexability to install the hex bolts into the frame rail. After hitch installation, I cut off any additional bolt length after the hitch was installed. I would rate this installation easy to moderate.19456

I spayed all the nuts and bolts with WD40 and went to watch the step by step instruction video. Very good instructions. So, just as I hoped for, all nuts came off with ease. Dropped the double exhaust, took off the heat shields. The trailer hitch fell right into place. All holes lined up perfectly. Heat shield and exhaust went back on after that. Didn't even rip off a knuckle. The main thing for me was watch the video, It saved me. (Time 2.5 hours to install.)
Thanks ETRAILER !!!

The product was delivered as described. The powder coat finish was excellent. Fit left some to be desired. Instead of the 30-40 minutes installation time advertised it took me 90 minutes to install. The weldment was not square and required a floor jack to get into place in order to install all of the bolts. Overall the function will meet my needs. Mainly it will be used for a bike rack and light towing.59437

I watched the install video for the hitch and wiring harness, so when I started I know exactly what I was doing. Fit pretty much as explained after a little adjustment to the tow loop (guess it got smacked a little when car was taken of hauler) and had to use a floor jack to get last side of hitch up to frame rail and the attaching points. All in all it took about an hour to install and another 15 minutes for the wiring harnessl hook-ups. I should have ordered the cap to cover the 1 1/4" opening though.29845

Received, still need to install… 3496644

Excellent quality. It the hardware for the middle where hitch mounts to the tow hook was too short so I went to a hardware store and bought a longer grade 8 carriage bolt. My car was an 09 sonata and the threads for a hitch were there. Make sure you chase the threads first!
I opted for this Curt Hit h because it had two more mounting hole on the sides unlike the DrawTite brand. I will not be using this to tow just haul bicycles in a hitch mounted carrier. More Bolts the better!, I spend way too much on bicycles!419081

No paint has flaked off! I’ve noticed that the car feels a bit stiffer since the Receiver ties into both side of the chassis of the car. This feels great especially since my car has 160k miles. Still hauling around bicycles with no problems!

I chose this Curt model because I liked that it had five fastening points compared to three with competitors models. Installation was frustrating to say the least. Getting all the holes lined up is a real struggle. If you are putting this on a Sonata with single exhaust, it is necessary to notch out the bottom of the bumper cover to clear the hitch bracket on the left side. Also, the instructions show how to notch out the filler panel that the video says to discard. I don't think the piece is important to anything, but may as well put it back on if you can. Only took a couple of minutes to notch it. 183941

I couldnt be happier! Its been a great hitch for my bike carrier and for my small trailer.

2008 Sonata install took 3 hours. Take your time, remove the muffler strap from the frame and a couple bolts from the heat shield. On the drivers side, remove the mud protector. Carefully trim the mud protector and reinstall around the hitch when finished. The 10mm tap and dye set had to be used to clean out my 4 frame 10mm holes. Air compressor, penetrating oil and 10mm tap; 2 hours! For the center? Put the bolt all the way thru the metal piece, angle into car ring, tap with hammer. The hitch is wonderful, 100% perfect. Buy the tail light harness, 100% perfect also.1227946

Fit my 2007 Hyundai Sonata. I am very happy with this hitch receiver. Works exactly as advertised and is holding up well after a year of normal use. I would highly recommend this product. Just a reminder to consumers, read your vehicle's manual to make sure of the towing capacity and that you are purchasing the correct receiver. Good luck!1039257

This is the 3nd time buying a trailer and wiring kit from these guys and again everything went in without a hitch (Pun Intended). Hitch bolted right up and wiring harness clicked right in! Couldn't be any easier, no drilling or struggling with holes not lining up at all.3580081

Amazing purchase. Installed on my 2010 Hyundai Sonata GLS. My set up had the single exhaust pipe on the passenger side and I was able to install this by myself (1.5 hours), no jack needed and I also was able to install it without lowering the exhaust pipe. The bolt nearest the passenger front on the frame was a little tricky but with patience and a steady hand, it threads in no problem and you can easily squeeze a socket wrench in there to tighten it down.3594282
