Question:
I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra 4 door sedan. It has a tow recovery loop welded to the unibody. This loop looks like it might interfere with the hitch installation and is not shown in your installation videos. Will 60872 fit my vehicle? Thanks.

The hitch will fit perfectly, no worries. When we installed the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, # 24795 on a 2010 Hyundai Elantra, we found that the receiver tube will sit just aft of the tow loop you mentioned, as you can see in the photo I've provided.
If you plan on using the hitch for light duty towing, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system:
Trailer wiring harness, part # 118433
Ball mount, part # 3594
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 or 2 inch ball # 19258
Pin and clip, # PC2
I've linked you to an install video for the hitch as well as the trailer wiring harness.
