Features to know about

Get More Use Out of Your Ride: Add a Class II, 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver

This hitch is built for light-duty towing and everyday utility. With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 350-lb tongue weight rating, it handles small campers, boats, or utility trailers with confidence. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening also works great with bike racks or cargo carriers that meet Class II standards, so you can haul gear for weekend trips or daily projects without overloading your vehicle.

Simple Install Without the Hassle: Bolt-On Design, No Welding Required

You don’t need a lift or special tools to get this hitch on. It’s a bolt-on design with precision robotic welding that ensures everything lines up with factory mounting points. The complete hardware kit and instructions are included, so most DIYers can handle the install in a driveway. No welding means less downtime and a cleaner job from start to finish.

Built to Last Through Weather and Wear: Gloss Black Powder Coat Over Protective Base

The hitch is made from fully welded steel and finished in a gloss black powder coat layered over a protective base coat. That combination keeps rust at bay and holds up against road grime and moisture. The round-tube design gives it a clean look under the bumper while still being strong enough for regular towing and accessory use.

Set Up for the Long Haul: Compatible Accessories and Practical Options

You can pair it with a ball mount like part?# C45521, a 1-7/8" ball?(# A-80) or a 2" ball?(# A-82) for towing, or use it with compatible bike racks and carriers designed for Class II receivers. Curt recommends using stabilization strap?# 18050 when carrying non-trailer loads such as bike racks or cargo platforms to maintain warranty coverage and stability on the road.

Excellent product I towed a large trailer for 3000 miles to move with no problems and now use to carry my bikes with a carrier



by:

Great fit for the 2016 Genesis 3.8L AWD Sedan. The dealer wouldn't install, despite claiming they would when I purchased the car, but my mechanic installed it without issue...claiming it was no problem.

The hitch works fine but I have a hard time keeping ahead of the rust...



by:

Installed on my 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6. I installed this in the garage, the directions were very clear. Just have patience with making sure everything is aligned perfectly straight and the end result will be great. Only issue I have is with 1 1/4" hitches on cars - they are so low to the ground that trying to find rise hitch bars that go up far enough to make trailers level is a bit of a challenge. I thought this hitch would scrape but it doesn't and is nicely tucked under the bumper.

  • Recommended Hitch For A 2010 Chevrolet Traverse
    Hi Bobby! The Curt hitch # C12086 is actually designed to fit the Hyundai Genesis sedan from 2009 to 2016, so not a very good option for your 2010 Chevy Traverse, unfortunately. The etrailer Class 3 hitch # e98863 on the other hand, is specifically for your Traverse and is a pretty easy install. It is also matte black instead of gloss black so it blends in significantly better. What are you planning on using the hitch for?

  • Looking for Hitch Install Hardware for Curt Hitch 12086
    Hey Steve, we have the hitch install hardware replacement kit with the part # RHK which is correct for the # C12086 that you mentioned. It's the same price for every hitch and that's available at product link above but you will need to just enter the hitch part number on the product page and we'll ship you out the correct parts you'd need! Did you use the hitch on a different vehicle?

  • Trailer Hitch & Towing Set Up For 2013 Hyundai Genesis Sedan
    The information on our trailer hitches come from the hitch manufacturers, and those ratings have nothing to do with the actual tow rating of the vehicle. The hitch manufacturers rate the hitch for what it is capable of, independent of the vehicle. To find the capacity of your 2013 Hyundai Genesis sedan you'll need to take a look at the owner's manual or contact your Hyundai dealer; I Googled for this but was unable to find an online version. If you do decide to tow with your '13 Hyundai...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan AWD
    I spoke with my contact at Curt, and he said that the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12086 is a fit for the 2015 Hyundai Genesis AWD. The trailer hitch's warranty from Curt requires that stabilization straps # 18050 be used when hauling all non-trailer loads, such as bike racks. I have attached a link to all of our hitch mount bike racks that fit 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers. Our most popular hitch mount bike rack is the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This bike rack has space to accommodate...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan with All Wheel Drive
    We recently spoke with Curt and found that hitch # C12086 is indeed a fit for all wheel drive models of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan. If you plan on doing any towing with the hitch the correct ball mount to use is # C45521. For a 2 inch ball use # A-82 and for a 1-7/8 inch ball use # A-80. And for trailer wiring you can use # C56264 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the back of the Genesis. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have...

  • How to Carry a Hoveround Mobility Scooter with a 2015 Hyundai Genesis
    I am not sure why they would say there is no need to install a trailer hitch to carry the Hoveround. How else are you supposed to transport it!?! You can install a hitch on your 2015 Hyundai Genesis. However, the issue is likely going to be capacity. The hitches for the Genesis have a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. That is the most amount of weight you can suspend from the hitch. The combined weight of the carrier and the Hoveround would likely exceed that capacity of the hitch....

  • What Size Hitches are Available for 2011 Hyundai Genesis
    The 2 inch hitch size is used only on higher capacity vehicles like SUVs, trucks, and sometimes vans whereas lighter duty vehicles like your 2011 Hyundai Genesis only have the smaller 1-1/4 inch hitch size available like the Curt # C11086 for if you have a coupe or part # C12086 for if it's a sedan.

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan
    The Curt Hitch part # C12086 is the correct trailer hitch for your 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan as it has been confirmed as a fit. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan
    If your 2015 Hyundai Genesis is a sedan, then the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C12086 will work great for you. Per a note from Curt, all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. This is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. If you are planning on doing some light towing with this hitch the recommended ball...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan
    I have a solution for you to carry bikes with your 2015 Hyndai Genesis Sedan, but there are no trunk racks that are confirmed as a fit that I can recommend. There are hitches available that would allow you to carry a hitch bike rack like the Thule Camber 2 # TH9058. The Camber is one of the most popular racks that we have. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar...

  • Hitch Lock for Use with Curt Hitch for 2015 Hyundai Genesis
    The etrailer hitch lock part # e98879 would be a great option for the Curt # C12086 that you referenced. This is a very secure lock that would protect your hitch accessory from thieves. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Bike Rack and Accessories Recommendation for a 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Carrying 3 to 4 Bikes
    The Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, # TH56BV, would make a great choice for carrying 3 bikes on the rear of your 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan. The trunk mount racks are a good option, if you will not need to access the trunk area of the vehicle while traveling with the bikes on the vehicle. You would need to purchase a bike adapter bar, like part # TH982XT, for each bike that does not have a horizontal top tube that will slide over the bike rack arms. We have a video, see link, that shows this...

  • Will Yakima Ridgeback 4 Fit in Curt Hitch # C12086
    The pin hole dimension of the Curt trailer hitch part # C12086 is compatible with a Yakima Ridgeback 4 # Y02458. The fit note you mentioned basically only refers to the Subaru trailer hitches that are 1-1/4 inch as they have a really strange pin hole setup. The Curt hitch is perfectly compatible with your bike rack. Hitch installs are pretty basic for a qualified mechanic. Pretty much any qualified mechanic in your area would take care of it easily.

  • Do Trailer Hitches for 2015 Hyundai Genesis AWD Require Welding to Install
    We do have trailer hitches that fit your 2015 Hyundai Genesis. If you have a sedan you'd want the part # C12086 or if you have a coupe part # C11086. These do not require any welding to install on your vehicle either. They will easily install with the included hardware that allows it to bolt to your vehicle frame.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan With All Wheel Drive
    I called my contact at Curt and they told me the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C12086 has now been confirmed as a fit for your Genesis with AWD. If you plan on doing some light towing I recommend a ball mount like part # C45521. For a hitch ball I recommend part # A-82 for a 2 inch hitch ball and part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball. If you need a trailer wiring harness I recommend part # HM11143824. You just plug this harness into the plugs located at the back of the tail lights in...

  • Recommended Wiring For 2013 Hyundai Genesis Sedan
    I do have an option for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12086 does not come with the wiring harness. All of the wiring for your Genesis is sold separately. If you need a trailer wiring harness for a 2013 Hyundai Genesis Sedan I recommend the Curt T-connector wiring harness part # C56041 which is a plug and play application. It does not require splicing into the vehicle wiring and can handle 6 amps per circuit. This will give you a 4-way on the back of the Genesis to illuminate...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch and Thule Helium Bike Rack Fit a 2015 Hyundai Genesis AWD Sedan
    Yes, the Thule Helium Aero bike rack, # TH9042PRO, will fit Curt trailer hitch # C12086 and clear the rear of your 2015 Hyundai Genesis AWD sedan. This is my favorite bike rack; not just because it is bursting with features such as upgraded cradles, integrated locks and anti-rattle, and not even because it's aluminum and light weight. I'm a little more superficial than that because the Helium is one darn good-looking bike rack and that's the big reason I like it! I have linked a video of...
