This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is built for everyday towing and weekend trips alike. With a 4,000-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 600-lb tongue weight rating, it’s set up for light to moderate trailers, small boats, or loaded cargo carriers. The 2" x 2" receiver opening fits the most common accessories like ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo trays, so you can switch between towing and hauling without changing hardware.
You don’t need a lift or a welder to get this hitch on your vehicle. The fully welded design bolts right to existing points on the frame using the included hardware kit. That means no drilling or special tools are required. Most folks handle installs in their own driveway with basic hand tools. Precision robotic welding ensures the hitch lines up properly for an easy fit and solid hold once it’s torqued down.
The sturdy, square-tube steel construction is protected by a gloss black powder coat over a base layer that fights rust and corrosion. Whether it’s road salt in the winter or damp conditions near the water, this finish helps keep the hitch looking good and performing strong over time.
With a standard 5/8" pin hole, this receiver works with most hitch pins, locks, and accessories designed for Class III setups. Ball mounts, pins, and clips are sold separately so you can choose what matches your gear best. Once in place, the hitch gives you a solid platform to hook up trailers or mounted accessories securely for the long haul.

Easy to install fit great. Works great with 2025 kia sorento S. Make sure to clean out thread holes with a wire brush or running bolt in and out a couple times. Did have to slide exhaust to the side as video online stated. Average person should be able to install. I would recommend!
Fit my 2024 Kia Sorento with no problem. Installation took approximately 45 minutes. So far it has done the job of supporting my bike rack. Paint finish is holding up well to the salty streets of a NYC winter. Would recommend the purchase of the product thus far.
Hitch arrived quickly. I watched the installation video, which was pretty straight forward. Total time to install was 45-60 minutes which included gathering tools. Install was tough to do with one person and not being on a lift, but I rested the hitch on my chest and lifted one side and secured the first bolt. After that it was easy. You will need a couple different socket extensions.
Nice quality product. Looks to be powder coated so expect the finish will be durable. ...and e-trailer has been awesome. Free shipping, fast turnaround, awesome support and great pricing on quality products. Can't go wrong. I think this is my third purchase and its always the same experience. I'm a DIYer and love these guys. Even if your not its worth buying and having someone else install.
Second hitch I have installed from your company. Great instructions and videos. With this one for the Sorento I spent more time getting the exhaust hangers undone than the rest of the install. Perfect fit and ready for college move in trip.
This is the second hitch receiver that I have bought from etrailer and installed myself. It is very easy to do. The one bolt behind the exhaust hanger is a little tricky to access, but that is just the way Hyundai made it. Otherwise, very easy to locate the threaded holes and install. I was able to do this one all by myself but I would suggest getting some help to hold it up. There was no need to remove any plastic trim and the receiver is tucked in nicely. My Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack fits nicely but I needed an extension to get clearance for the inboard bike's handlebars.
Always a great buying experience buying from Etrailer. Hitch arrived in a timely manner, all parts intact.
Curt Trailer Hitches are a great product, fits the car like a glove
I've had this for a year, now, and it works great. I've had zero problems with it. I use it primarily to hold my bike rack for two heavy e-bikes. I'm using it today, actually. Would recommend. 10/10.

Second Curt hitch/wiring harness I've installed from etrailer and its been a perfect fit.
My only snag was that my factory bolt hole locations had rust on the threads so I jut soaked them with PB blaster and took a small wire brush to it after 10 minutes. Then I muscled it into position and bolted it all in place.
Their videos and instructions were very helpful.
Easy to install. It is nice only the hitch can be seen and the rest of the mount is hidden behind the bumper. I can finally use my bike rack on my new Sorento.
Trailer hitch itself is great and fit exactly with the vehicles attachment points.
Giving 4-stars only because I cannot fit my full-sized spare, inflated, along with the hitch. I bought this because reviews stated it could accommodate a full-sized spare, but there's just barely not enough clearance. I solved this be deflating the spare to fit it in, and carry a tire inflator in case I ever need to use the spare.
Great hitch! Installed on a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. The video on the website was clear and spot-on as far as how to install it. My son-in-law and I installed it in less than an hour, no lift like in the video. Backed the car on to ramps and it was no problem. You have to lower the muffler to install the hitch and put it back which was a lot easier than I expected. (Held it up with a jack stand.) The hitch fits perfectly!
A great quality product at a fair price, with free and fast delivery!
We will be using this item primarily for the transportation of bikes ...and secondarily for a hitch-mounted cargo carrier.
Thanks etrailer!
This was the easiest install ever. I'm a disabled Veteran with 10 back surgeries, knee replacement and just had wrist surgery. It only took me an hour and the hardest part was lowering the exhaust. I didn't even have to jack the car up. Easy and it looks good!!
Easy instal, I did need extra hands to lift hitch receiver. The video on etrailer website was super helpful before installation. No jack was used. Installed on a base model 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid w/o spare tire.
This Curt hitch is a high quality piece that installed in less than an hour start to finish. The instructions are easy to follow, the bolts and washers are included, and the fit is well integrated with our 23 Hyundai hybrid. Put it to the test the very next day towing a 10 foot enclosed trailer.

Less than an hour is pretty great for install time! Do you have any tips or tricks to share with anyone else in the comments section looking for advice? Glad to hear it works well for you, too :)

My opinion of the Curt hitch on our 23 Santa Fe hybrid has not changed. It has been used to haul a 10 foot enclosed trailer on several occasions and is solid and reliable. I highly recommend it.
Mounted to 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid. Very happy with trailer hitch and have only experienced good results with trailer attached.
Installation was as promised, however I had better fortune removing the exhaust hangers with my bare hands, especially the one closest to the right rear wheel. Also, sadly, while the hitch finish appears to be an excellent powder coat, my hitch suffered some damage in production which will undermine the longevity of that nice finish. The packaging is excellent and was delivered without abuse, but as you can see this hitch was marred before it was boxed.
Hitch fit like a glove on our 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe... definitely have to drop Exhaust to access passenger side mounting... three exhaust hangers... support muffler and piping... easy install
Items arrived promptly. I already had a wiring kit that I purchased from etrailer. Installed both the receiver and wiring kit in about an hour and a half. I didn’t need to jack up the car. Fit perfectly. I recommend this kit. 2021 Santa Fe.

Glad the install went well for you, Ebben! What are you going to using the hitch for?
Hitch was relatively easy to install on my 2025 Kia Sorento but definitely requires 2 able bodied individuals to lift and hold it in place while mounting it from below. We used both an hydraulic floor jack to gain access and jack stands for safety. The threaded hitch pin secures the hitch in place but prevents the use of an alternative pin with a locking mechanism on the end. Overall, its a very sturdy and secure hitch.
Easy install and good fit on my 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid. Works great with my Kuat NV 2.0 Base bicycle rack.

Still working & looking as good as when it was first installed.
Excellent quality receiver. Did the install in my garage on the floor without jack stands nor lift, so it can be done anywhere. The video of installation on the website provided by trailer was helpful. One tip - after getting the receiver secured with the two bottom bolts, get the 2 other bolts on the passenger side (over the muffler/resonator) installed before going to the driver side. Otherwise it was pretty easy.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're glad to hear the receiver met your expectations and that the installation went smoothly. What are you planning on using your trailer hitch for?
Well designed. Took 30 minutes laying on the ground. Great instructions. Had a helper. Love the videos. This is my 3rd new car that I purchased a hitch for from you.1 CRV HONDA AND 2 SANTA FE HYUNDAI.
All were were installed with out a hitch (pun intended) Thanks

Thanks for sharing the photos and trusting us with 3 hitch purchases! Your Santa Fe looks great with the hitch installed. Having a second set of hands definitely makes the job a little easier. What are you planning on towing?
Overall, very nice hitch. Watching the video from your YouTube channel specifically for my car was a tremendous value. In the video, he states that the wiring is too short. That should be addressed on the order page with an option to add the needed extension. I elected to wire my power to the battery in the rear of the vehicle, instead of running wire all the way to the front. It makes a cleaner install in my opinion. Also, I added a grommet to run the wiring from the battery compartment to the underside of the car. Photos attached. I’m pleased with the results.

I'm glad the YouTube video was helpful for your install! Especially since it had that tip about adding a wiring extension, we try our best to get all the details out there
