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.

Good solid quality. Well put together. Fit was precise & accurate.Install is pretty easy, and as others have said can be done handily without raising the car. I have a creeper, which did make it easier/nicer to do.Instructions were clear & accurate.I didn't have a 2nd set of hands handy, but was able to lift it into place with a floor jack. Ended up not having to drop the exhaust: required a little 'finagling' the thing into place, but really not difficult. One of the passenger side bolts has tight clearance to a piece of trim. I was able to get it in place, but that trim piece is held on with only a few fasteners and could be removed easily enough if you prefer.Only downside is it was shipped 'rattling around' in a big box. The box arrived about half shredded with the item hanging out of it. Luckily the item itself was not damaged. But some packing material to keep it from banging around inside the box would be a nice addition.

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 trailer is literally perfect. Fits my 2022 Hyundai Tucson like a glove and tows my 19 foot center console like a champ. Super easy to install myself, didn’t need a jack or anything. Great value for the price.

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.

This is the 5th curt hitch I've installed on a vehicle. I find the kits well thought out and in every case they have fit like they should. The instructions are all specific to the individual hitch and vehicle. I've never had an issue installing oneMy first hitch did last 11 years before I traded the car. Hitch performed well, hauling bicycle racks all over the country and towing a small utility trailer behind a small sedan. I was forced to remove the hitch and repaint after 7 years or so. Was worried about the rust compromising the strength. Other than the paint these things just work

It fits my wife's 2024 Tucson Hybrid NLine perfect.Anyone can do the installation.It took me 25 minutes including the time to jack up on the ramps and and time to roll back down.You need a pry tool to take the plastic fasteners off the bottom plastic trim and a 17mm wrench.

Easy to install took me 15 min. No need to drop the exhaust... use it as a support...

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!
