Question:

I am interested in the 2025 Tucson Limited hitch. BUT Hyundai does not offer a hitch for it as it has changed since 2024 model. Can you confirm please?

Hey Randy,

Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38KR will fit your 2025 Hyundai Tucson. I'm not sure what the holdup is on Hyundai's end, but the aftermarket companies have already confirmed fitments so you can be confident this will fit your vehicle.

If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be more than happy to make an additional recommendation for you!

Jon, I will be pulling a couple different double wide snowmobile trailers, One with two snowmobiles and the other with lawn mowers, lumber, 4 wheelers etc. And a jet ski or two. I like the flat color on the e-tailer model and i will need the wiring adaptor also. I am not sure about the way the plug mount outside. Thanks for the prompt response. Respectfully

@Randy That's honestly my favorite part of the etrailer Hitch # e38KR as well - I'm a sucker for the matte black finishes. For wiring you should be able to install the Curt T-Connector # C68JR but you'll need to check for the OEM connector up behind the bumper on your driver's side. If the plug isn't there then you'll need to hardwire the Curt Wiring # C59236 and Universal Kit # ETBC7 for a fully-functioning 7-Way. The Bracket # 18136 gives you the ability to secure either one next to your hitch receiver, but if you're able to go with the C68JR you'll also need to pick up the Bracket # PK12711U. To wrap up your towing setup you need a ball mount kit and likely a brake controller due to how heavy your loads are going to be. The etrailer Ball Mount # e38NR with a 2-3/4" rise should be about in the wheelhouse of what you're needing (see attached ball mount article) and then I really like the Curt Echo In-Line # C79DR for a brake controller because it tees in behind either 7-Way option mentioned above and allows you to fully use your trailer brakes without having to modify or add anything in the cab of your Tucson.
