Great hitch. Looks good. Structurally sound. Written instructions plus video’s that I understood…however, I had to have my mechanic install utilizing his car lift. He said it was straight forward and easy.

Great after one year. My wife and I are in our seventies and install our bike rack and bikes ourselves and drive up I-95 from Savannah to Hilton Head with our e-bikes. The hitch works wonderfully with no problems.

2013 Hyundai Sonata

Receiver hitch was easy enough to install on my 2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS. I put the rear of the car up on ramps and left it there for 3 days working about an hour or two each evening as time allowed. If I didn’t have the luxury of using my wife’s car and needed to minimize the time my car was unavailable, I probably would have needed 4 hours for the full install and cleaning everything up. Hitch is solid for what I use it for, a hitch mounted bike rack. Not a single chip or fade in the finish after one year. I park outside also.

This is the 2nd time I have ordered a hitch receiver (first was for my Scion xb) and I could not be happier with this hitch on my wife's Sonata. I installed it myself-took me longer, but mostly that was dealing with axle stands and the extra heft of a hybrid.

The e-trailer videos are excellent-I reviewed on my phone as I installed, and using basic tools I was able to complete the job at hand-really liked the included kit and threaded bolts/captive plates. Overall everything is solid feeling.

Late writing a review because we just drove 2,500 miles with 2 bikes (and kid's run bike) on our Yakima hitch (also purchased from e-trailer...) Always recommend you when people ask about hitches-fast delivery and great service with excellent helpful videos-cheers!

Still works great-bought out 3rd hitch from etrailer now



by:

Thanks etrailer! Awesome trailer hitch and bike rack. I had my mechanic install the hitch. I printed the installation instructions and went to see him and ask about installing and he told me no problem. I dropped off the car in and the morning before work and it was ready when I got off work. The hitch is solid and perfect for the Swagman XTC2 bike carrier. I forgot to buy the recommended support strap, but I had a small ratchet strap already that works perfectly. It’s very solid and secure when in use.
This really is a very economical way to add bicycle hauling to my 2012 Sonata.

It’s a hitch that’s working without a hitch it does what it’s supposed to. It still looks nice under my Hyundai Sonata.

I needed a way to tow a trailer to San Diego as my daughter is going away to college. Heather was not only very professional in helping me select the correct receiver hitch and wiring harness but she also very friendly as well. She said my order would ship out the following day but she got it shipped out the same day and I received my hitch one day earlier than expected! I found installation very easy with the assistance of the video posted online by etrailer.com. The hitch fit my Optima perfectly. I will purchase a hitch for my other car through etrailer.com as well as recommend them to all of my family and friends.

Working great - No issues

2012 Hyundai Sonata

Purchased this Curt hitch for a 2012 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T SE (with dual exhaust). My 29 year old utility trailer has seen action with several vehicles over the years. And each hitch installation has been more time consuming than the previous vehicle. I chose the Curt over the Draw-tite because the supposed installation was a bit easier and supposedly no trimming of the heat shield was necessary. The hitch itself is pretty good, it's the instructions that are lacking.

The hitch install (whether Curt or Draw-tite) boil down to 5 sections: partially dropping the rear of the exhaust; removing the heat shield(s); getting 4 bolts & spacers into 2 rails of the car frame; attaching the hitch to the frame rails; and re-assemblying heat shields and exhaust. The instructions got the removing the heat shields right ... everything else needed more information. Installation time was supposed to be 20 minutes for a professional shop, 40 minutes for a DIY . With the instructions and misdirections that came with the hitch, figure on a weekend.

Here are the tips I learned.... (with the exception of the actual bolting of the hitch to the frame, you can do this solo in your driveway in an afternoon, but you will get dirty so have some Lava soap ready, and you'll be on a tarp under your car, so pick a day when it's nice). I raised the back tires by driving onto 2 pads made from cheapo landscape timbers; the 3 inch rise is sufficient for me [and I'm 6'4" and not anorexic].. Pad is: five 14"lengths of timber, flat side down nailed at each end to 2 sections of 2x4.

For a 2012 Sonata 2.0T with dual exhaust ....
To drop the back portion of the exhaust, there are 2 hangers (1 on each side), each hanger is held to the frame with two 12mm nuts. Rest each of the mufflers on a box 9-1/2 inches high, [cardboard is fine]. Further upstream, where the exhaust pipe has a Y, there is a hanger that attaches to the bracket on the exhaust pipe with a 12mm bolt; remove that bolt. Instructions go on about detaching rubber hangers .... not necessary just the four 12mm nuts and the one 12mm bolt. Spraying nuts with WD-40 before loosening is a great idea.

Once exhaust is partially dropped, the heat shields are held with 10mm nuts. Four nuts for each shield. Don't forget the WD-40 trick. And each heat shield has an arrow pointing forward.
Now you are at the frame rails; remove the 4 pads and notice the 4 holes. That's where the bolts/spacers are going to hang from. Trick is to get the bolt& spacer into the rail. Forget the die grinder, the end of the rail is actually open. Shine a bright light into the rearmost hole and you will see light on the inside of the bumper. Use the provided fishing wire and get the bolt & spacer hanging from each hole. The forward holes are the most difficult; take your time; and use one hand to tug while the other hand is jammed into the bumper space and pushes the bolt &spacer. Rail actually has a bit of an inside lip by the bumper end, and the spacer is about 1/8" too long for a good fit. I used a hacksaw and sliced about 1/8 to 3/16" off one end of two spacers. For the bolts by the 2 rear holes, you want that trimmed spacer end at the bumper end of the rail. Again it's tough, and you may have jiggle the bolt/spacer and poke them in order to get that shorter end facing the bumper. The purpose is to give the bolt sliding adjustment room for mounting the hitch.

Attaching the hitch is where you need a friend. With you on your back, have the hitch on your tummy and slide and curse the hitch between the frame and the exhaust. Then get the bolts into the hitch holes and attach the 3/4"mounting nuts (loosely at first, AND be careful not to push the bolts into the frame rail .... use some big bobby pins to clip on the bolts first to keep them from being pushed into the frame by accident; after the nut threads on a bit, you then pull the bobby pin). You can get a torque wrench to the rear bolts; the front bolts, I just did the best I could with a 3/4" wrench.

Heat shield reattachment is difficult without enlarging at least 1 hole a bit; just a bit. No way could a pro do the entire job alone in 20 minutes; and if I did this install again, I couldn't do it in 40 minutes ...
probably 2 hours if a neighbor's kid didn't come over and start asking a bushel of questions.

Seems like a very good hitch and would have been a breeze to install had my car not been rear ended! Only suggestion is you might find it easier to just remove the entire exhaust vibration hanger brackets temporarily instead of trying to finagle them off the posts! Look forward to using the hitch now!

Prompt order and shipping communication. Thorough installation guidance via online videos. Fast shipping and well packaged. Received quickly and in excellent condition. Took a bit longer to install because I installed it on 2015 Optima by myself, but it bolted right in. The supplied fish wires worked extremely well. Very important to make sure bolts are torqued as specified.

No issues whatsoever. I use it for my bike rack and to occasionally tow my Yamaha Waverunner. Purchased the 4 pin tow lighting wiring adapter and it installed quickly and with no wiring modifications.

This has worked fine. My only problem was that I din't have the necessary tools to elongate the holes in the frame. I took the car and hitch to my auto shop and they lengthened the holes and installed the hitch. The hitch has worked fine otherwise.

Delivery was quick. Packaging was horrible. It was just a box that the hitch was busted through so I had to paint some of it to repair scratches. I should not be repairing paint due to poor packaging on a brand new product. I realize it’s just a hitch but I don’t want it rusting in a month either. Charge $2 more or something to package product appropriately. Bummer

I know that our shipping department does its best to ship hitches so that they will arrive undamaged. I will have our customer service team reach out to you. You have already done what I recommend by touching up the affected areas with a rust resistant paint.

I have just installed the trailer hitch. The delayed install from the purchase date is due to the cold MN weather. The installation went exactly according to the instructions. I had to enlarge the forward most holes to install bolts and support plate. I also removed the two heat shields and cut a hole for the forward bolt to come through then reinstalled before installing hitch. I am retired 40+ years as an auto tech. I mention this because this is not easy to install alone because of the weight and alignment of hitch over the bolts. I used a motorcycle lift to help with lifting and alignment of hitch which worked well. I also used car ramps and did this install with a creeper. I really like how it looks; it is hidden quite well. I am using this with a bicycle rack. I have not purchased a trailer wiring harness yet since I am not towing a trailer. However, it is a solid unit which will work great for a trailer for light hauls for a 2013 Kia Optima.

I bought (Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4"
Item # C11025) last year and it has worked out.

If you install it yourself be ready for a pretty big job. I did it and would do it again but it was a tough dirty job.

The product itself has been fantastic with no issues. We're using it to support a bike rack for 2 bikes on a Kia Optima.

Do not try to use this for 4-bikes as that would overload the 1 1/4" hitch capability.



by:

Fits well, the hitch is good



by:

Installed on my 2013 Sonata GLS. Very professional product, quick shipping and a very reasonable cost. I did install this myself, believe me, it's pretty darn easy. This is definitely a 2 person job to actually bolt up the hitch once you have installed the bolts through the frame. I had to modify the front two holes as the installation video's show. I have attached a couple pics of the installation. The side view is to show the distance I lifted the vehicle with jack stands. I just used a strap and went from spring to spring to support the exhaust and the final pic is of the installed hitch. Local shop wanted $300 to install. It took me all of 2 hours, not bad for a fat middle aged white haired dude.

The on-line shopping, customer question follow-up by Greg & others, and 1st shipment on time was all just excellent. Well done!

  • Which Hitch for the 2011 Hyundai Sonata will be the Least Visible and What are the Differences
    The Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch are basically the same design and one would not be less conspicuous than the other behind your Sonata. The only real difference in these two hitches is that the ball mount, pin and clip are provided with the Hidden Hitch model, item # 60269 (no longer available). Many of our customers select the round tube hitch style when appearance is a factor. The rounded cross tube normally blends better with the underside of the vehicle and sort of disappears.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Hyundai Sonata
    I checked with Curt and the 2015 Hyundai Sonata takes a different trailer hitch than the 2011 models. If you want to stick with the Curt brand the hitch for the 2015 model is # C11402. If you are using the hitch for towing both vehicles/hitches do use the same ball mount, # C45521, as well as 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256 and 2 inch ball # 19258.

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11025 is an excellent option for a 2012 Kia Optima. If you will be towing, you must use the Curt Drawbar part # C45521 as this is what Curt recommends. They also do not offer any adjustable ball mounts for class I hitches so there's that as well. I have attached some other parts below you might need as well.

  • What Size Hitch is Available for 2012 Kia Optima
    For your 2012 Kia Optima we have Class I hitches that have a 1-1/4 inch opening like the Curt hitch part # C11025 but there are no 2 inch hitches for your vehicle as that hitch size is only used on larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks. The cost of this is available down below at the product link as well.

  • Trailer Hitch and Towing Equipment for 2011 Kia Optima Hybrid
    According to Curt, their Class I hitch, part # C11025 fits all models of the 2011 Kia Optima, including the hybrid. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, a ball mount and a trailer ball. For a wiring harness, use # C56314 and for a ball mount, use # C45521. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, use # A-80 or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball. I've linked you to install videos for the hitch and the wiring harness.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Kia Optima Hybrid to Carry Bikes or Cargo
    Since you want to use a trailer hitch to carry bikes and cargo with your 2015 Kia Optima I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 24965. This is just a hitch and the mounting hardware. It does not require a special strap for non-trailer loads like its Curt cousin, # C11025. All of the hitches for your Optima hybrid are Class I trailer hitches which means that for bikes you are limited to 2 bikes maximum even it you used a 1-1/4 to 2 inch adapter such as # HTAD. The problem is that a Class I hitch...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2011 Hyundai Sonata for 2 Inch Bike Rack Compatibility
    For your 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited, there isn't a direct 2 inch receiver available. I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11025 which will work with a wide variety of 2 bike racks. If you want to use your specific rack, then you will need the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD confirmed to fit a Class I hitch. This will reduce your capacity to 100 lbs, so remember to subtract the weight of your bike rack along with...

  • Heat Shield Modification for Trailer Hitch Installation on a 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    The heat shield should not have to be trimmed with the Curt hitch. You may need to elongate a mounting slot on the heat shield at most. For a Draw-Tite or Hidden Hitch trailer hitch, heat shield modification is needed and I have included a link to a picture that shows what needs to be trimmed. If you are talking about the appearance panel, the trimming dimensions for models of the 2011 Hyundai Sonata that have the underbody panel are in the instructions which I have linked for you. I have...

  • Parts Needed To Tow A Jet Ski Trailer With a 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid
    I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11025 on your 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid. Do be aware that your owners manual does have conflicting information that says it is not recommended for use with trailer towing. But it also states to make sure you account for tongue weight for total vehicle weight when trailer towing. If you have any vehicle warranty or concerns about this please consult your vehicle warranty or your Kia dealer. Curt recommends using either the 1-7/8" Euro Drawbar...
