CURT Manufacturing 13485 Receiver Hitch Class III Compatible with Select Tucson

Took about an hour to install because I was stuborn and didn't ask for help. Once I had extra hands helping position it took no time. Lined up perfectly, bolts went in smoothly, the tapped bolt holes were in the frame from the factory. Screwdriver for plastic pins in trim piece, 14 mm socket for plastic bolts on trim piece, 17mm socket for hitch bolts, torque wrench (honestly if you're just using for accessories, bike rack, cargo carrier, etc, you probably can just use a good size rachet). The packaging protected the hitch and more importantly didn't allow for the box to be torn up. The hitch bar follows the body contour so you only see the hitch sticking out verus the bar hanging down. The "stealership" wanted $1400 to install, happy their greed made me look for an alternative.

Fit my 2024 sportage hybrid perfectly. Easy install.

Fit my 2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid perfectly. Easy installation. No specialty tools needed. Watching a quick video on YouTube made the install easy. I installed the unit in early 2023 and have had no issues since (~3years). Although, I only use it for attaching my bike rack and do not so any towing. Definitely worth doing yourself and save a few hundred $$ vs going to a shop for the install.

Just purchased a Kia Sportage hybrid and I installed this. It took like 15-20 min. It was a piece of cake and seems to be very sturdy (we’ve had good experiences with other Curt products). We primarily plan on using it to carry our bike rake.

The Curt hitch was delivered by Amazon nicely packed. A buddy came over with a torque wrench; a two man (or woman) team works best for this. There's no need for ramps; just a couple of packing blankets on the ground for padding, about an hour of work and it's done. There's one panel to remove permanently and another panel temporarily in order to fit the torque wrench on a bolt. There's no need to lower the muffler like some YouTube videos suggest; just lift one side over top. The hitch holes lined up perfectly with the pre-drilled holes on my 2024 Tucson. Once you have everything tightened up, the hitch is solid as a rock. The powder coat finish looks great. I had considered buying the Hyundai OEM hitch, but this is a lot less expensive and the 2" receiver is a lot more versatile for accessories than the 1-1/4" Hyundai hitch. I also bought the Curt wiring harness, which plugs right into the fitting you'll find lashed to the driver's rear quarterpanel. I don't work on cars anymore, but this is an easy job most anyone can do. I asked two Hyundai dealers and they wanted $1,100 to install their hitch and wiring versus less than $300 for the Curt hitch and harness; an easy decision.

Just like everyone else who left a review, the hitch did poke through the shipping box, but there was no harm done to the hitch or the finish, so there's that. Mounting this is a two-person or one-person-one-jack operation. The hardest part of the whole process was removing the "diffuser" on the SUV, is Kia have switched from using a small hex nut to a plastic splined nut. So I had to use needle nosed pliers to get them off. It was no big deal and, like I said before, that was the hardest part of the installation. For the rest, you'll probably have to get the two bottom-facing bolts in place and tighten them up before moving on. Otherwise, the side-facing bolt holes will not line-up. The instructions call for a torque wrench that can go to 48 ft-lbs. Use one. I also used Loctite 242 (242 and 243 both work fine) to help keep water out of the threads and prevent them from working out on their own. You probably won't need them, but I already had the threadlocker. Plus it helps lube the threads on the way in, making assembly easier. When done, the hitch is recessed from the bumper, so your backup sensors will still be accurate. That does mean some racks will end up being really close to the back of the vehicle. Load up your gear and give it a good shake before setting off on a road trip. For mountain bikes, absolutely make sure there's no way the handlebar will come within 2-3" of the rear window. Otherwise, invest in a hitch extension. Anyway, super easy to install. I didn't have to remove anything more than a piece of trim. No milling, drilling, or tapping of threads. Just wiggle it in place, bolt it on, and have a few celebratory beers.

Very easy install but be sure to have a torque wrench for tightening the six 17mm bolts. The nuts inside the Tucson frame are captive and welded in place so if you strip them you have a problem. (rent one if you don't own one). I was able to install this somewhat heavy item with a foot holding up one end and my hands on the other end inserting the bolts. I took more time preparing and looking at things than actually installing the hitch. Note there is no plug for the 2" receiver so you may want to source one as part of your purchase. Finished product looks very good and low profile/clean install.

Fit great 25 tucson hybrid. Install time about 20 minutes.

Fit perfect, easy install

Super produit, facile d’installation en 15m seulement. Je vous le recommande

This item is a perfect fit for my 2024 Tucson. Installation is not too complicated. I had to remove a plastic shield (as instructed). Then simply bolt the item to the chassis. The Tucson is high enough off the ground I didn't need ramps to raise the back end. You should get a torque wrench for a proper tightening of the 6 bolts.

I just installed this curt trailer hitch onto my 2022 Tucson without a single hiccup, it fit perfectly & was shipped well. I actually received it a few days earlier than the expected delivery date, which was nice. I believe it is priced fairly compared to the OEM trailer hitch Hyundai sells for the 2022 Tucson, in my opinion it feels more sturdy as well. There was a few scuff marks on the hitch when I received it, but that’s to be expected since it is rather large & an awkward shape to ship. Overall, I’m very happy with this hitch and can’t wait to put it to use!

excellente qualité et facile à installer soi-même, ce qui peut représenter une grande économie vis à vis le car dealer ou magasin spécialisé
