This fully welded, corrosion-resistant Hyundai Sonata trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers.

We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

This fully welded, corrosion-resistant vehicle trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.Hitch is bent over 2" (Bolt holes will not line up with frame, Bolts that come with Kit will not fit in the frame holes (more mods),
Needs a lot work to install. Mod to under side on the car is needed (Muffler Heat shield, Under side of bumper) If I could return it I would. I don't recommend it, unless you vary handy with body work and bending steel. On a 2013 Kia you need to remove the Exhaust Pipes and mufflers to have room to install.

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. We can have the hitch replaced for you.
Everything worked just like you would expect. Instructions were easy to perform and the overall install fit as it should. Very happy customer. This product will be used primarily as a holder of a KUAT bike rack. We have a small [retailer] trailer and a log splitter pull around a bit.
Fairly easy to install. Order processed super quick as it has every time I’ve purchased from eTrailer
etrailer always has the best prices, the fastest free shipping, and the best customer service. I put my hitch on in my garage in about an hour. All parts there, clear detailed instructions. I am a repeat customer and will always look to etrailer for my next purchases.

Excellent
Received my hitch 4 days earlier than I was notified it would be delivered. :)
Hitch installed easily, but it had minor damage from shipping (a bracket for the muffler hanger was bent). Rather than return item, I just straightened it.
Overall, great service/product.

Overall, Im happy with the hitch for my Sonata, but I wish it was a little higher. It sometimes drags on the curb ramp when going out of driveways.
The hitch wasn't what I ordered and parts were missing.Return policy says you won't take open box return.

Well that is not entirely true. We do accept returns, as long as the product was not installed.
The hitch itself has worked great for what it is and was easy to install, I really liked the install kit it came with.
My only complaint is that it doesn't use the standard 2" receiver and I had to buy another receiver. I HATE having to have duplicate items for the same task as I already had two with ball hitches that fit my small open and larger enclosed trailer. I'd give it 5 stars if it had a 2" receiver.
I put this hitch on my 2015 Kia Optima. I am a Mechanic/fabricator and I am used to improvising and minor modifications when installing accessories or equipment upgrades. This hitch was a breeze to mount, due to the informative reviews on the website I purchased from I was prepared for the need to enlarge the bolt holes in the frame (to an egg shape or widening slightly) so that the washer/nut would slide up inside, I use an inexpensive hardened steel burring bit not unlike a short drill bit in my makita drill. I also cut off the excess square tubing and welded steel caps in place to give the hitch a cleaner look from the side. It took about and hour to modify the hitch and not much more to install. I use it to haul my two mountain bikes, excellent hitch!
Took about 45 minutes due to lack of knowing where my proper tools were and I was able to put it on myself using both my knees to hold it up!!
The trailer hitch is exactly what I hoped it would be-a convenient way for me to carry bikes with a small hitch behind my car, easy to handle, easy to store and very secure, the installation took a bit of knuckle busting, but that’s to be expected. High-quality product taking my bikes where I want.
ordered a small trailer hitch and everything is all good 1 year later. Had it installed locally and 1 year later all is good. not a single issue with etrailer.com
thanks!
Was easy to install following the directions, fits great no issues
the parts were as described and fit my 2015 Optima perfectly. It is a bit difficult mounting the hitch to bolts that can be pushed back into the frame. it would be good to include at thin push on keeper that could be pushed over the bolts while the fishing wire was attached so bolts couldn't get pushed back into the frame. Otherwise great, look forward to using it with a bike rack.
This hitch is AWESOME! It took roughly 2 hours for me to install it on my 2012 Hyundai Sonata Limited, but it fit perfectly and looks amazing! I towed a snowmobile and some other stuff on a 5x8 trailer for 2 hours with absolutely no problems. Would highly recommend for anyone with a Sonata! I probably wouldn't recommend it, but I was pulling around 1400lb with it!!!
I was able to install this hitch with ease. I followed the instructions while watching the video. I have had no problems with the hitch and use it all the time.
Didn’t come with attachment instructions so it hasn’t been installed yet.
