Instructions were clear and everything bolted in place without too much trouble. This is the second Curt trailer hitch I have purchased over the last 10 years. The protective finish is high-quality and it’s great to see that it’s made in the USA.
There are definitely some challenges if you are not installing a trailer hitch with the vehicle on a lift. While the instructions do not mention needing them, if you are installing this with the vehicle on the ground, two jack-stands are almost required in order to get the trailer hitch bar lifted up underneath the vehicle and held in place while the bolts are secured.
While you do have to cut out a portion of the under body panel on the EV9, there are clear markings from the factory that show exactly where to cut. I used a Dremel tool, and it was very easy.
This is our third trailer hitch from etrailer and we've always been pleased with the quality and longevity. I just put this one on our new Kia EV9 yesterday and it looks great. A few notes for anyone else that may be installing this hitch on an 2024 EV9:
1. The 10mm nuts on the underbody panel are on rather long bolts, so you need a deep socket to reach them. I just used a wrench to get them, but its a little challenging because they're also in deep holes.
2. The 14mm nut is attached to the panel, so you have to add some resistance by gently pulling down on the panel some while you're loosening it. Otherwise, it just spins in place.
3. It looks like there are 12 push fasteners to remove, but there are only 8 (as the directions state). If you look closely, you'll see the four that don't need to be removed (one in each corner closest to each tire, and if I remember correctly the third one in from each tire).
4. The directions say to install the spacer on the driver's side. My hitch came with a spacer already welded on the hitch on the driver's side, so I installed the spacer on the passenger side.
5. The directions say to put one bolt in the spacer temporarily while you're attaching it. I would recommend putting them both in to make sure the holes are properly aligned with the frame. Also, not a bad idea to start all four bolts into the frame before you put the hitch up in place to make sure the threads in the frame are cleared out.
Over the years this is the 3rd trailer hitch I have gotten for different vehicles. As such I have long term experience using the products .
With close to 7 years use no problems or rust or failure. Equal to those you get through dealer at less than a third of the price.
I have installed all 3 solo and I'm not a motor head.
Perfect fit clear instructions. Not much on the internet on installing these but the instructions got me there about 2 hrs
The website has a good layout.
I like how the installation instructions are located as a PDF on the product page.
Lightning fast shipping. Uhaul said very easy to install.
