We have not yet had a chance to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11424 so unfortunately, we don't currently have a video available. I have however attached the complete install instructions below that you can check out which should give you a good idea of the process. Curt estimates an install time of about 45 minutes for professional installers. For DIYer with some experience you can expect it to take about 90 minutes.

This hitch is custom fit for your 2018 Hyundai Elantra which means it will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. Just note that the heat shield and lower underbody panels and/or fascia will need to be trimmed a bit to allow room for the hitch receiver. All the necessary hardware is included.
