This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Receiver sits beneath your bumper so it's out of the way when accessing cargo. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.

Super easy to install even on the ground in the garage. Just needed a floor jack, a flat head, and a 17mm socket/wrench. Very low profile and inconspicuous.
Only install change from the videos on here: with the 2026 models (I have a Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige), the plastic 14mm nuts are no longer there. You instead have these plastic white retainers that are not as easy to remove (see photos for what I am talking about). Easiest way was to use the flat head to "twist" the retainer while pulling down on the plastic piece I was removing. Trying to pull and twist off by hand kept accidentally pushing the retainer back into place.
Installed on 2025 Hyundai Tuscon PlugIn which was NOT listed as a model. Completed in about 20 minutes, removing both exhaust hangers. Wish they included torque value (50 ftlbs) in video as did not discover needed to check qwerty code until after was installed and could not take pics.
It was delivered very fast! Came with bolts to anchor to my Tucson. Looked like the anchor bracket on each end of rack were bent out a little but it was fine. Mounted it by myself in about 1.25hrs. Used a bucket and a piece of wood to support one side and then the other side I got one bolt started. Then the other side I used a bottle jack to lift it into place as it was very tight. I also used a 2 lb hammer to adjust a little. This was easy to get into place and get bolted into place. I would buy again if I needed one. etrailer has been good to ship out fast. The only thing to remember is there is no support bracket for your 4 pin wire plug.

Bucket and a piece of wood - love it! Making do with what you have is the way to go. Thanks for the photo, too, Mark!
Overall, a positive purchase experience. I would recommend this site to everyone! The website is well constructed making it easy to search for the correct hitch and compare options. Installation video gave me the courage to do it myself. I would never have thought installing a hitch would be so easy though it's heavy and hard to lift into place if you are working by yourself. (Be forewarned!) The price also seemed reasonable. My one issue is with the shipping. It arrived quickly and one day earlier than expected - but like some other reviews I read - the hitch broke through the cardboard box it's shipped in. The hitch is secured in the box to keep it from moving up and down but not shifting side to side, which allowed one mounting bracket and the hitch to break through the box. I think that could be prevented if etrailer would insert blocks of styrofoam or rolls of cardboard between the hitch and the walls of the box so it doesn't rock back and forth. I would think the shipping companies would also be happy to not transport something with a hunk of metal jutting out of the box. A small issue. I would buy again without hesitation from etrailer. Now my wife and I need to buy the rack for our bikes!
This is the first of 2 reviews. Ordering the product was fast and simple. It was shipped promptly. The actual shipment was a bit beat up. I'm going to install the hitch and see if anything was compromised in shipping.
Box came in damaged with the rack half hanging out looked rough but after inspection it was just a small scratch, in my opinion just gives credence to the quality of the rack. Install was a breeze with the video found on the website although my vehicle is probably one of the easiest I have ever seen. The Fit was premium fit perfectly and went in without an issue. Highly recommend a buddy or cut a deadman/ use your jack for the other side. I think the directions fell out of the box in shipping but the excellent customer service rep was able to send them to me in less than a 5 min chat. If I ever need a rack again I know where I will go and I know who to recommend people ordering from.

So glad this was a snap for your '25 Hyundai Tucson! Super happy to hear it's been a good experience so far :) What all will you be towing?
Perfect fit, expedient delivery couldn't have been better
Very hefty product and a perfect fit on my vehicle,easy installation.Will handle everything I throw at it.
The hitch fit perfectly but didn't arrive in the best of shape. A little more packing material would have helped greatly. No parts were missing but the hitch was scratched up pretty good so only 4 stars.
Box came damaged...but you got right back to me....all good....installerxwas very happy that my hitch came from you!
Much easier than last installation. Good video. Excellent video.
Easy Install, well manufactured and fits perfect.
The six bolts do not fit our Hyundai Tucson. Need to send the right bolt. The mechanic could not install.
Instructional videos are a great help. It took a little TLC with a floor jack to get it into place, but it's in and doing the job. Can't knock the fact it was shipped the same day it was ordered or the fact this company goes to lengths to ensure you will be satisfied with the product.
Just as described. Easy install with the video support.
Fit the car perfectly, videos from etrailer were very helpful.
The receiver is performing great.
Always good with etrailer
Fits perfect and easy to install. Took me 20 minutes.
Installation was a bit tight but went in after a few sledge suggestions. Overall quality seems very good!

Mr. Sledge is pretty good with his words.
install was easy .had a little trouble lining up the holes ,but overall great fit
only reason 4 stars is because box was damaged allowing hitch to be exposed to paint damage. No big deal, but somewhat disappointing.
Works good nice hitch!
Very easy install. Very happy with the product.
Fit perfectly and installed in just a few minutes with my son’s help to hold it in place. Watched install video for my vehicle and it was exactly the same experience. Thanks!
Need to upgrade packaging. Hitch poked thru and knicked the hitch finished

Hey John, I’ve got an answer for you regarding the torque specs! Manufacturers sometimes update torque specs for various reasons, so we’ll often recommend checking the instructions you got for the most accurate info. I know that’s not always ideal, especially if you’re following one of our videos and have to pause to track down the instructions, but it’s the best way to ensure you're working with the latest specs. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. And thank you for confirming the hitch fits the 2025 Tucson Plug-In, that’s super helpful info for others too!
