CURT 13485 Class 3 Trailer Hitch for Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage | Fits 2022 to 2026 Tucson and 2023 to 2026 Sportage, 2" Receiver, 3,500 lb GTW, 525 lb TW, Concealed Main Body, No Drilling

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.

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 2026 Kia Sportage X-Line. I haven’t towed with it yet but it is clearly a quality part. Installed by myself in a couple of hours but if you had help, could do it in 30 minutes. I spent most of the time trying to figure out how to raise the thing by myself. Ended up using a crate on one end to raise it up and my car jack to slowly lift the other side.

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.

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.

great quatity and this is coming from a welder by trade. easy install on my friends Hyundai tuson.

Worked flawlessly

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.

Same price as local accessory store, but I would have to wait. Easy to install after watching YouTube videos. I did it myself using a jack stand on driver's side to support the hitch and the tailpipe held the other side. Once installed, I had to jack up each side so my torque wrench had some range to torque the side bolts. Delivery was amazing, 2 days early! We have had everything from breakable pasta bowls to this 50lb hitch delivered...We have never had an issue with Amazon.

Fit parfaitement

Semble de très bonne qualité pas encore installé arriver beaucoup plus vite que prévu 🙂

Pas si facile à installer que prévu en raison de la conformation (design) du modèle versus celle de mon auto hyundai tucson preferred trend 2026. Puisqu il fait sur plusieurs modèles il ne fait pas aussi bien sur tous. Les vis et écrous sont compris. Pas de carré de caoutchouc pour boucher le trou lorsque le hitch n est pas utilisé
