Features to know about
Add Extra Carrying Power for Everyday Use: Class I 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver
When you need more room for gear but don’t want to overload your trunk, this Curt Class I hitch gives you a sturdy 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver that’s built for light-duty towing and hauling. It’s rated for up to 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, making it ideal for small trailers, cargo carriers, or a couple of bikes. The square-tube design delivers dependable strength for daily use without being bulky.
Built Strong and Protected: Fully Welded Steel with Gloss Black Powder Coat
The hitch is made from fully welded steel and finished with a gloss black powder coat over a protective base coat. That combination provides solid durability and superior rust resistance so you can count on it season after season. The precision, robotic welds keep everything aligned and tight, giving you confidence when towing or carrying extra weight.
Straightforward DIY Install: Custom Fit with Complete Hardware Kit
This hitch is designed as a custom fit so the mounting points line up exactly with the frame for a secure installation. It comes with the full hardware kit and instructions you need to get the job done in your own driveway. Installation requires drilling, heat shield trimming, and temporarily lowering the exhaust, but once in place it sits neatly with a visible cross tube that looks clean under the rear bumper.
Ready for Light Towing or Weekend Gear: Works with Drawbars, Bike Racks, and Cargo Carriers
Whether you’re heading out for a trip with bikes or pulling a small trailer for weekend projects, this Class I receiver gets you there without hassle. Use it with a drawbar (sold separately) to tow light loads or slide in your favorite hitch-mounted cargo carrier to haul extra supplies. It’s the practical upgrade that turns everyday drives into ready-for-anything hauls.

Very easy to follow instruction for our 2025 Hyundai Sanota Limited Hybrid bike tow hitch. I did however cut the removable plastic body panel on the drivers side and put it back in place. It actually fits nice and looks great. As a safety precaution a used all four threader wires to get the bolts and plate into the body channel. I kept them on time but was ready to go on. Worked out well and I only damage one wire by pulling it off to get the first nut in place. Then move hutch around till all nuts came through then hand tightened the one nut. Went to opposite corners and removed the wires unscrewing them to save for later. After all four nuts were on I centered the hitch on the body rails and righted bolt by hand, finishing off with socket wrench and torque wrench. After putting the exhaust back I bust the body panel on drivers side to fit. Pictures enclosed.

This is the 2nd trailer hitch I have purchased from etrailer. The previous for a For Fusion. Both were for a bike rack. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. The bag of hardware came loose in the shipping box, losing one of the carriage bolts during transit. I reach out to support, and etrailer replied promptly indicating they would ship an entire new hardware kit to me.
Note: The instruction say to discard the driver-side panel and passenger-side heat shield. I found that I could easily cut some material away from both the panel and heat shield in way of the trailer hitch to re-attach both pieces. I used a pair of gardening shears to make the cuts, which perhaps wasn't the best tool for the job, but it was all I had on hand it worked out quite nicely. Total additional labor time was 10-15 minutes. I am not sure if the panel and heat shield are "required", but I figured it can't hurt to re-install them.

Thanks for coming back to get your next hitch! We're glad to hear the instructions were easy to follow and that our team was able to quickly get a replacement hardware kit on the way. We also appreciate you sharing your experience with the underbody panel and heat shield. That's a great tip for others who prefer to keep those components in place rather than remove them entirely. It sounds like a little extra effort paid off and gave you the result you were looking for.

I wish I paid attention to my total project time on this, but I assume around two hours from start to finish. Mainly, there wasn’t a single part of this installation that was overly difficult, it just took a bit of time to prep and lower exhaust, cut heat shielding to reinstall and trim the plastic panel to reinstall that. Fishing the bolts was far more simple than I expected, namely due to the real solid “fishing line” wires included. I am very satisfied with the results and have tested it so far only using a bike rack, so no towing experience yet. I used a pair of vehicle ramps which were fine, but getting under the car a bit easier would have made this job quicker.

Not a close tolerance fit for bike mount. Required an additional purchase of anti-rattle fixture. Cleaver and easy method used to install bolts into car frame.

This is probably the 5th Trailer hitch and wearing harness that I have ever purchased from E-trailer the quality of the E-trailer wearing harnesses and trailer hitches and Receiver are outstanding. I don't think any other company can match them in my opinion. Every hitch I have ordered, 2018 Jeep Cherokee, Prius-C, Two Priuses, and now a Hyundai Sonata. All Receiver hitches Have fit perfectly Without any modifications without any trouble that I Didn't need to do. My thanks to E-trailer. PS: I want to leave The thought that the videos on how to install a trailer hitch receiver are the greatest showing everything I need to know and make the process easy.

The instructions stated that the rear trim panel and the heat shield should be removed and returned to the customer. It was honestly 5 extra minutes to cut a small piece of trim panel and install it back, the same for the heat shield. Removing the trim panel would expose a lot of dirt collection in the rear, also causing more noise and why completely remove the heat shield.
This seems wasteful and just taking the "easy" route for the installer, when the modification would take less than 5 minutes.
Other than that, very happy with the product so far.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Which Trailer Hitch Fits 2021 Hyundai Sonata LimitedHey Jim! For a hitch that fits your 2021 Hyundai Sonata Limited I recommend the Curt # C23RV. It fits all models of the 2021 Sonata with the exception of the N-Line and hybrid. This Class I hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver, bolt-on installation, and lifetime warranty. Do you plan on towing? If so, you will also need wiring # TK97FR along with a ball mount like the etrailer Ball Mount # e47DR.
view full answer... - Availability Of Roof Rack For 2024 Hyundai Sonata N-LineHello Tony, thanks for reaching out. Sadly, we do not offer a trailer hitch for the 2024 Hyundai Sonata N Line. There is only one hitch available for the 2024 Sonata, the Curt # C23RV, but this will not fit the N-Line Models. If you need to carry cargo with your vehicle, we will have to look at alternative solutions like a roof rack. The Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Flush Rails # TH84SG is the best roof rack option for the 2024 Sonata N-Line. You can use it with a roof basket or bike...
view full answer... - Best E-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2023 Hyundai Sonata with Class I HitchHey Hitesh, for the Class I hitches that fit your 2023 Hyundai Sonata like the Curt part # C23RV the best e-bike rack option is the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. This happens to be the only Class I compatible hitch we have for your vehicle but even so it's a really nice rack that is easy to load because of the ramp that pulls out from it and it stores nicely as well since it can fold up. What e-bikes do you have?
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Hey Jack, For a 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid (excluding N-Line models) you would need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C23RV. This is a simple 4-bolt installation that will mount to the bottom of your vehicle's frame and would have a visible crosstube. If you plan on adding lights to a bike rack or cargo carrier then you'll also want to pick up the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK97FR.
view full answer... - Curt Trailer Hitch Needed For A 2013 And 2023 Hyundai Sonata HybridHey Jack, The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13126 is not a fit for a Hyundai Sonata but is for the following vehicles: 2013 - 2013 Infiniti JX35 2013 - 2016 Nissan Pathfinder 2014 - 2020 Infiniti QX60 For a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid you would need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11025 (1-1/4" receiver tube opening). For a 2023 model you would need the Curt # C23RV (excluding N-Line models) (1-1/4" receiver tube opening). There are currently no custom fit options with a 2" receiver...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Hyundai Sonata HybridI checked with all of our vendors and the only hitch option currently available for the 2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is the Curt item # C23RV. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs tongue weight. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C55RV and the Draw-Tite Drawbar item # 3593 and then for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or item # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2026 Hyundai SonataHey Frank, we have the Curt hitch part # C23RV that is a confirmed fit for your 2026 Hyundai Sonata and is the 1-1/4 inch hitch size you are looking for. Do you have a rack already?
view full answer... - Is There A Hitch That Will Fit The 2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid (non N Line)Hey Steve, the Curt 1-1/4" trailer hitch reveiver # C23RV is indeed a fit for your 2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid (Non N-Line). If it were the N Line then it would not have fit. No drilling is necessary for installation, but you'll need to temporarily remove the exhaust heat shield for the hitch to fit in, then button everything back up and put the heat shield back in place. We don't have an installation video at this time, sorry to say. But I did link the instructions for you to check out....
view full answer... - What Size Hitch Pin Hole Does Curt Hitch # C23RV HaveHey Bob, the Curt Class I hitch part # C23RV has a 1/2 inch diameter hitch pin hole which is standard for Class I hitches. Do you have a hitch pin already?
