Why Does OEM Hitch for 2022 Genesis GV80 have Different Capacity than Curt
Updated 09/02/2025 | Published 08/15/2025
Question:
I have a 2022 gv80. I noticed your tongue wait is 600lbs butter OEM unit has a 900lb tongue weight. Why the disparity of a significant 300lbs? Do you offer a 900lbs version?

Expert Reply:
Hey Britt, so not all hitch manufacturers will have the same weight capacity for the same vehicle. They all design their hitches independently and then rate them and sometimes the numbers vary. 900 lbs of tongue weight is quite a bit for a vehicle like the 2022 Genesis GV80 so even if the hitch was rated for it I would assume the vehicle wouldn't be. You can check this in your owners manual.

Hey Britt, did you get a chance to check your owner's manual for the tongue weight capacity of your GV80? I'm curious to know if you found a solution, as it might help others with similar questions.
