Curt Manufacturing 13485 Receiver Hitch Class III Compatible with Select Tucson

I have a 2024 Hyundai Tuscon Hybrid and this hitch fit perfectly. Hole alignment was perfect. Install was easy, about 30 minutes, but did need to drop the exhaust from one side to make it easier. No special tools needed other than a torque wrench. Did come with six bolts and washers. Hitch seems well made and sturdy. I plan to use it for a e bike rack. As someone previously showed, the end of the hitch is under the vehicle, so whatever attachment you put on, you will need to make sure it has a long enough arm to get past the back of the vehicle.

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.

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.

This was the easiest installation I have done . It took less than a a half hour from the time I pulled into the shop to the time we were finished 6 bolts very easy to install and it comes with an idiot proof instruction sheet

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.

This item arrived on time and in good condition. I am a 69 year old guy who, at the time of installation, had broken his toe BUT none of that adversely affected the install. Following the directions provided made the installation quite easy and everything lined up perfectly. My biggest problem with the install was getting the three plastic nuts off the body piece that must be removed to install the receiver. They didn’t unscrew like the instructions said without forcefully pulling down on the body panel while unscrewing. Once that was off, I supported one end of the receiver on top of the tailpipe and then lift the other end and started a bolt. Once I had the one bolt snugged up, I moved back to the tailpipe end and installed a bolt in that end. Now, with the receiver loosely against the frame, I inserted the remaining 4 bolts, (2 in each side), and commenced to tighten them up. Entire process took less than 40 minutes. Looks good and is super solid. I just wish it somehow was designed so that small panel that was removed from under the car could be replaced. It just bothers me that a piece of my brand new car had to be permanently removed for installation of the hitch. No one will ever know but me but, still, I wish I could put that panel back on after install.

Worked flawlessly

Fit perfect, easy install

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

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.

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

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!
