Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"

Sturdy hitch clean looks after installing much better than others I have seen. I found it easier to install 2 of the bolts in opposite direction 1 so I didn’t have to cut wiring cover on drivers side and 1 on right side because it was binding up when putting into hole in vehicle. Overall really nice hitch.1386537

Excellent

I was going to purchase, and have installed, a receiver hitch locally for my 2020 Hyundai Palisade but could not find a shop that could do it in time for a weekend trip. So, I decided I would purchase this unit from etrailer.com and do the installation myself. I received the unit within a few days which was great. I watched the installation video ahead of time to familiarize myself with the installation process.

I must say that it was super easy, and the directions were spot on. The entire install took me less than an hour. It would be helpful to have two people when it comes time to lift the receiver into place, but I managed to do it myself. Tools needed are a ratch or open-end wrench, plastic prybar or screwdriver, and a rubber mallet.

The receiver is solid and looks great. Clearance seems the same and I have not scraped the bottom of the receiver or anything hitched to it on anything so far. I have a steep street entrance apron and have not had any problems. I mount a 4-bike platform rack on it and it goes in easy and feels solid in the receiver.
Very happy with this product and the purchase process.924252

One year later and still happy with this hitch. No issues at all. I use this hitch weekly for bike racks and haul a trailer once a month. The hitch has worked fine.

I have purchased multiple hitches over the past several years from etrailer for various cars. I just installed a hitch for my new 2024 Palisade without any help (it only took 90 minutes and I am definitely not a mechanic with a huge cabinet of tools and experience). Good pricing, all high quality only products, quick delivery, and super helpful installation instructions and videos. I wish more companies today were like etrailer. Reliably good company for all the car equipment you will need to carry kids' bikes and winter sports gear.1749555

worked great and installed myself with only a few tools. allowed us to transport bikes on our existing hitch carrier after a new vehicle came without an installed hitch1758471

I really like the trailer hitch excellent fir for 2021 Hyundai Palisade with No trimming of the rear bumper.1767587

Excellent products. Fast shipping. Informative install videos really aid in DIY.
One note on the install though. If you put the driver's side bolts through outboard to inboard, you don't have to cut the plastic cover or bolt cover.1629674

Extremely fast shipping. Ordered Thursday night, on my door step Saturday afternoon with free shipping. Every hitch I have ordered from etrailer has fit perfectly and had great installation instructions and videos to help with tips on how to install the hitch in tight spaces.1734197

As many people have probably figured out with the 2023 Palisade there is not currently available the hidden behind the panel hitch. I could not wait until Hyundai figures themselves out for a tow hitch so I went ahead with this one. It is an excellent quality hitch. I installed it by myself. A FEW TIPS: don't put bolts thru without the washers like in the video as this just adds extra steps, just put them on when you put it in place originally. You also dont have to take the furthest forward muffler holder off. Do yourself a favor and jack up the back end of it to torque the bolts and make sure you have a 19 mm box wrench because you have to have one due to space issues. Other than that it's extremely straight forward.
As far as etrailer goes: I purchased my last hitch for my previous vehicle on [online] due to price a few years ago. This time I ordered on [online] instinctively then checked etrailer and immediately cancelled my [online] order and ordered from here. The hitch was cheaper shipped with tax than the base price on [online]. There are many positives during the experience (they called within 10 minutes of me submitting my order to verify my address and email. It was purchased on the 17th and arrived on the 19th. BUT what really set them apart is the last hitch I got from [online] was just wrapped in shrink wrap and was dented and dinged horrendously, to the point where I had to hammer a portion straight for holes to line up. etrailer sent it in a hefty box, and it was secured 360 and was in perfect condition when it arrived. Their install videos are also top notch. Great experience, will buy from here going forward.1503455

I reversed some of the 12mm bolt directions and didn't need to trim the exhaust shield on one side or the plastic panel on the other. Great product. Clean install. Fit perfectly on 2023 Palisade Calligraphy. Love that it doesn't have the tubes showing from underneath like most hitches I've seen on Palisades.1659995

Excellent product. Hitch fits perfectly and hardware is the correct size. Only comment is that the written instructions say that the largest wrench you will need is 19mm. The through-bolts have a 19mm head but have a 21mm nut. I think the video may mention this. I would recommend this product to anyone.1723258

Installed on a '24 Palisade XRT. Followed guidance of the video and install went smooth. Took less than 2 hours with vehicle on the ground. I even managed to get the weldment in place by myself. I did flip 1 bolt to avoid cutting the yellow protector but otherwise everything fit fine.1745127

We installed the CURT C13427 Hitch and CURT CU94FR Wiring Harness in my 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The hitch is very heavy. It takes two people to position it and put the first bolts in. Once you've got one in on each side, the rest is easy. The supplied parts were high quality and fit perfectly. The video showing how to do it on the Palisade was very good, but so too were the written instructions.

The CURT Wiring Harness was also easy to install and came with good instructions. The only thing I did different was wrap the 4 wires leading from the circuit box to the trailer plug in spiral harness wire wrap. I didn't like seeing those wires out and somewhat exposed.

I've seen the Hyundai / KIA factory towing packages. I think this combination from CURT and eTrailer is every bit as good if not better. And it cost a lot less than buying through Hyundai.804826

One year later Im still VERY happy with this hitch and harness.

The technicians at the installation shop were so impressed with the Curt trailer hitch receiver. It was a quick and simple install, nothing but praise on how straight forward it bolted onto our Palisade. Their hardest part of the install was dealing with the spare tire (lol). Highly recommend this product.1680245

Everything fit. Great video for home installation. Looks like good quality but time will tell. A little rust spot forming from hitch area1705517

Absolutely impressed with e-trailer’s fast shipping and customer service. And, the system they use to show how your order is progressing through the shipping maze. Best ever, really!! The CURT hitch went on without a hitch! Many others have left tips for how to install on the 2022 Palisade. I just installed on a 2023 Palisade with no issues. The one surprise on my Palisade was that there was no trailer lights module. Or, they have moved it somewhere else as compared to where it is on the 2022 (based on some e-trailer user photos). Still, a best-in-class experience with etrailer. Well done!!1466529

The part fit exactly the way it's supposed to. The installation wasn't bad on my 2024 palisade. Make sure to Watch videos to help make easier1711723

Have not it had the opportunity to install the hitch yet but the delivery was very fast and it arrived in great condition. I have received hitch’s from trailer in the past and have all expectations that the unit will go in quickly and look great. Considering it is close to Christmas they did a great job filling and delivering the order. Well done!!1699193

The hitch is really good quality. It wasn't that difficult to put on especially after watching the videos. My order from trailer was packed excellent to prevent shipping damage and arrived on time.1688006

Great quality and arrived early. Easy to install after watching the video online. Perfect fit.1698253

Very satisfied with product information, the ordering process, delivery time, and packaging. One thing you could consider doing is supplementing installation instruction's with a level of difficulty “for each step” - this could leverage your company over competitors. Some of the installation steps were very easy, done moderate and some hard. Had i known to expect such difficulty with certain parts of the installation I would have paced myself differently and better estimated the completion time.
Very satisfied with etrailer company.1672699

It was fairly easy to install. The factory installed heat shield for exhaust made it difficult to install the passenger side top bolts/washers. Had to use a long punch to tap the bolts thru and had to pry the heat shield up to get a socket wrench on the bolts.1685146

I got this for our 2021 Palisade. This looks way better than the factory hitch. They even have a massive recall on the factory hitch system. I will be buying another for our Toyota! Highly recommend!1386916

This hitch looks miles better on our Palisade then the factory version from Hyundai. The receiver is all that hangs below the bumper, which affords a clean look. I wanted 7pin wiring, so I ordered the T-one wiring harness (118784), curt 4 to 7 pin adapter (C57672), and the curt long mounting bracket (C57202). I made a 90 degree bend in the mounting bracket 1.5 inches from the end and mounted it vertically off the hitch. This resulted in a factory look with 7 pin wiring. The vehicle is equipped with a wiring harness capped behind the rear bumper cover behind the left rear wheel. There is full 12v trailer power, ground, left turn, right turn, brake, running lights, and and extra wire that I assume is reverse lights. The t-one harness used all but the extra wire, so I was able to tap into the wires in the t-one harness for power and ground on the 7 pin. I didn’t have to touch any wires on the vehicle prior to the harness. Install was easy, besides the required bend in the wiring mounting bracket.883731

Wish I could give this 5 stars because etrailer’s service was great and everything arrived in good condition…and fast! The hitch itself is also very nice and looks good now that it is installed. However, installing it was much more difficult than I thought it would be. Probably some of this was because I bought my 2020 Palisade used and it already had considerable rust in the built in vertical bolt openings. I really tried cleaning it with lubricant and a wire brush like recommended by etrailer, but it was still very hard to insert and tighten the bolts going into those holes.
More disappointing was that the diagram provided in the paper instructions shows the long horizontal bolts going from the middle towards the outside of the frame, but we found that it was not feasible to do this. On the muffler side, the frame had a raised lip adjacent to the posterior hole that prevented us from tightening the bolt from that side. It only worked with the nut on that side and the boxed end wrench angled to avoid that lip (the socket would not fit around the bolt head and go in flush straight into the frame.) This may have been an anomaly in the frame from Hyundai as there is no good reason that this raised ridge/lip should be so close to the bolt hole… But we had a different problem on the driver side too…if the posterior bolt was placed going outward the end had enough length that it blocked us from replacing the plastic frame cover on that side when we were all done. It worked fine when we reversed it so the head of the bolt was on the outside and snug against the frame. I didn’t look back at the video to see if it was recommended to go from outside to inside or vice versa, but the written diagram that we had while installing very clearly shows the bolts going outwards.1584365

Hitched was delivered in front of garage instead of covered porch and was rained on. The soaking wet box had a big hole in it where the hitch part had punched through and paint chipped off. There was no packing to keep the hitch from shifting in the box. I won't know if the hitch is bent until I try to install on my vehicle. Deducted one star for poor packaging.1590883

Im sorry to see that your hitch has received some scratches on it due to shipping. This does tend to happen and when it does, we recommend using a Rust-oleum type paint to cover up any scratches and prevent corrosion in the future during use. I have a link below for your reference. I have also sent this information over to our Customer Service Department for them to get into contact with you.
