Features to know about

Effortless Installation: Bolt-On, No-Weld Design

Installing a hitch can often be a daunting task, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C13240 makes it straightforward with its bolt-on design that requires no welding. This user-friendly setup uses eight M10 x 1.25 bolts, which fit perfectly onto pre-drilled holes in your vehicle's frame. For enthusiasts who love DIY, the hitch offers a seamless fit for vehicles like the Hyundai Tucson, ensuring you spend less time in the garage and more time on the road.

Perfect for Multi-Use: Class III Towing Versatility

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver shines with its versatility for various towing needs. Rated as a Class III hitch, it provides a 2-inch by 2-inch receiver that's perfect for hauling bike racks, cargo carriers, or small trailers. The robust structure supports up to 3,500 pounds in gross trailer weight and 525 pounds in tongue weight, equipping you to handle everything from weekend getaways to home improvement projects with confidence.

Built to Last: Durable Powder-Coated Finish

Weather can be brutal on vehicle equipment, but not with the Curt Trailer Hitch. Its gloss black powder-coated finish over a protective base coat offers superior rust resistance. This ensures that your hitch not only looks great but withstands the elements year-round, maintaining both function and appearance no matter where your adventures take you.

Sleek, Functional Design: Concealed Cross Tube

If aesthetics is a priority, you'll appreciate the Curt Trailer Hitch's concealed cross tube design. This feature provides a low-profile look that's barely noticeable on your vehicle, maintaining the sleek lines of your car while still offering you the full functionality of a robust hitch. It’s ideal for those who want to keep their vehicle’s appearance top-notch while still reaping the full benefits of towing capability.

American Craftsmanship: Assembled in the USA

Supporting local craftsmanship is a plus with this trailer hitch as it’s proudly assembled in the USA. This not only guarantees a high standard of quality and reliability but also strengthens your confidence in a product that's made with precision and care. It reflects Curt Manufacturing's dedication to excellence and robust performance, making it a choice you'll be proud to own.

  • Are Bolts for Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on Hyundai Tucson Threaded
    The bolts for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13240 are M10-1.25 x 30 inch hex bolts, and they are already threaded. I have added links below for you to check out of the instructions and a video install on a 2020 Hyundai Tucson of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13240.

  • Is there a Roof Rack Available for a 2021 Hyundai Tucson with a Panoramic Sunroof
    You are correct in that roof racks for the 2021 Hyundai Tucson are not compatible with the panoramic sunroof. However, there still may be options available to you for your accessories. For example, if you are looking to transport some bikes, you can use a trunk-mounted carrier like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack, part # Y02633. I've linked to a video review of it below. Or, if you wanted a cargo carrier, you could combine a hitch and a hitch-mounted cargo carrier. For the hitch, you...

  • Curt vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Hyundai Tucson
    Just a single difference exists between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2024 Acura RDX, which is the finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossy black finish, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '24 Acura RDX are the following part numbers: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13240 - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e54AR The matte black finish does hide those inevitable small scuffs a bit better than the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Hyundai Tucson with Dual Exhaust Tips
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13240 is what I recommend for a 2018 Hyundai Tucson. It will fit models with dual exhaust tips as you can see in the photo below, just not Night Edition models. This hitch will be great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks such as the Thule Camber Bike Rack part # TH9056 which is what I recommend.

    When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13240 onto your 2017 Hyundai Tucson the hitch uses quantity (8) M10 x 1.25 bolts. The trailer hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required. I like this hitch over the others that we sell because it is manufactured in The USA. When towing a trailer you will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118501. I like this harness over the Curt harness because it has a more reliable powered converter box that will give it a...

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2", # C13240, is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Hyundai Tucson. A test fit confirmed it will simply bolt onto your 2017 model Tucson. This is a fairly simple installation on your vehicle estimated to take about 40 minutes for a novice and 20 minutes for a professional according to the instructions.

  • Recommended Kayak Trailer for Old Town Sportsman 106 Kayaks
    I recommend the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 7' Bunks - 800 lbs # MPG461B2 for your Old Town Sportsman 106 Kayaks. This trailer will have no problem holding your 10'6" long x 36" wide kayaks. Based on the dimensions you gave me, it looks like you have the powered version that weighs 121 lbs. The # MPG461B2 has a maximum boat weight capacity of 225 lbs per boat so that is also more than enough. It uses 7' bunks to hold your kayaks and also comes with a full size spare....

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch C13240 Fit 2016 Hyundai Tucson with Dual Exhaust
    The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13240 has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson. I spoke with my contact at Curt to ensure that the dual exhaust would not be an issue, and my contact did not see any issues that would be caused by the dual exhaust. I have linked the installation instructions for the hitch for you. Keep in mind that this hitch requires stabilization straps # 18050 be used with all non-trailer loads, such as bike racks and cargo carriers.

  • Why Does the Trailer Wiring Harness For a 2019 Hyundai Tucson Require a Power Wire
    The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118812 which is a fit for a 2019 Hyundai Tucson does require a wire to be run to the vehicle's battery for power. The reason for this is because the vehicle's tail light circuits are not rated high enough for the additional amp draw of the trailer lights. Furthermore, this acts as a barrier to protect the vehicle' tail lights if there were ever an issue with the trailer's lights. In regards to other trailer wiring harnesses that don't require a power...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2021 Hyundai Tucson
    I was able to confirm with Curt and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13240 has been carried over as a fit for a 2021 Hyundai Tucson. In regards to the trailer wiring, you can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C89KR. These are both great bolt-on/plug-in play options that will get you setup and towing in no time. In order to complete your setup, I'd add the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989900.

  • Trailer Hitch Tongue Weight Recommendation For A 2018 Hyundai Tucson
    Even Though The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13240 is rated for a 525 pound tongue weight, since your vehicle's manual states that you have a maximum tongue weight of 220 pounds you 100% can not exceed the 220 pounds. So I do not recommend hauling around your dirt bike carrier because it exceeds the 220 pounds. You also would have to add the weight of the dirt bike added onto the carrier and that would more than double the maximum tongue weight for your 2019 Hyundai Tucson. There will...

If you need help with installing the harness, I went ahead and linked a video that walks you through the process. If you need a hitch as well, I recommend the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13240. Not only does the 2-inch receiver allow compatibility with many accessories,...

    The bolts included with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13240 referenced in your question are M10-1.25 x 30 inch hex bolts.

  • Will Curt Hitch C13240 Work w/ Exhaust on 2020 Hyundai Tucson
    I took a look at your 2020 Hyundai Tucson Limited and it has two exhaust tips on the passenger side which will work fine with the Curt Hitch # C13240 as that's considered single exhaust by the manufacturer. The night edition has dual exhaust tips, one on each side of the car which causes the problems with the hitch fitting, and is the only fit exclusion.

  • Fit of Curt D210 Multipurpose Ball Mount With C13240 Class III Hitch on 2016 Hyundai Tucson
    You can easily determine if the # D210 will fit. Locate the hitch pin hole, and measure rearward from the center of the hitch pin hole until you clear the furthest rearward edge of the back bumper. If this distance is less than 5 inches, the # D210 will work just fine for you. When we installed the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13240 on a 2016 Hyundai Tucson, we found the hitch pin hole to rear of bumper measurement to be 3-1/2 inches, which means the # D210 would work perfectly.

  • Can Curt Hitch With 525 lb Tongue Weight For Hyundai Tucson Carry 514 lb Motorcycle & Carrier
    Yes; since your motorcycle and carrier weigh a combined 514 lbs, the 525 lb tongue weight capacity of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13240 will be sufficient. So long as you do not exceed the tongue weight you're good to go, and you have a bit of weight to spare.

  • Does Curt C13240 Class III Hitch Require Stabilizing Strap for Non-Trailer Loads
    Curt backed off on the stabilizing strap requirement a few years back, although the caveat still appears on of some of our fitguide pages for hitches where Curt hasn't yet updated the installation instructions. The Curt # C13240 would work great on your 2017 Hyundai Tucson, as long as it isn't the Night Edition with dual exhaust tips. You needn't worry about the # 18050 stabilizing strap, so if you'd prefer the Curt versus the # 75836 from Draw-Tite, there's no reason why you can't go...
