Great Towbar for Hyundai Tuscon 2018

Nice and easy to install. I used a jack, jack, socket wrench, torque wrench and flathead screwdriver to carefully remove the 2 corner plastic plates covering the 2 side screw holes. The clips slide out nice and easy and are reusable so you don't have to worry about buying new ones if you're careful. The instructions state that all bolts must be torqued to 40 pounds to ensure they stay nice and tight. I had a simple torque wrench that really helped make sure the bolts were tight enough. Overall…

Pros
  • Solid finish
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Perfect price and perfect fit!

This hitch was $265 on Curt's website, I bought it for $116. Not a bad deal for a brand new item out of the box. The box was heavy so it was dented a bit from the UPS but that was to be expected. The clutch was in perfect condition. Installation took just over an hour as I have a limited edition Hyundai Tucson and to do this I have to detach the muffler from the rubber pads. The grip is super strong. I had one on my 2005 Kia Sportage and used it many times to haul UHAUL buggies and trailers…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Poorly designed

Perfect fit, quality features, 2 person setup

Like all other CURT hitches I've used this is a solid, well engineered product. It fits my Hyundai Tucson 2021 perfectly. I installed it myself 6 weeks after a total knee replacement. I wish I had some help, but a good quality floor jack made the one man installation possible. The instructions are too simple. You can find more help on YouTube. Essentially you have to lower the muffler to get the hitch in position. It's not as difficult as it seems. All you have to do is spray something like…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Big and chunky

So easy, a caveman can 😁

This towbar was easy to install on the Hyundai Tucson Sport. The retail price was $350 so at only $128.99 this is a steal. Installation took less than an hour with just a flathead screwdriver, a 17mm socket and a torque wrench. Using a screwdriver with 3 push pins on each side, remove the covers under the wheel arches on both sides. This allows the top two screws on each side to be inserted and tightened. Remove the exhaust pipe rubber support from the back of the muffler and slide the coupling

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • High price

It was poorly packaged for shipping

It was shipped quickly but was not properly packaged. The hitch receiver was taped but not in the box and there were no gaskets to prevent dents and scratches during shipping. Since most of the device is hidden under my car's bumper I didn't care, but was disappointed that I had just purchased a brand new item that didn't have shipping protection. If a heavy piece of metal is placed on my concrete deck upon delivery, expect the paint to scratch and dent. The hardest part of the installation was

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Perfect fit for my Hyundai Tucson 2017!

This clutch ships within two days of order. I was able to install it on my 2017 Hyundai Tucson SE Plus in about an hour with no problems. I didn't have to remove the muffler from the suspension. I had the rear wheel of the car on ramps so I had about 4-5 inches of ground clearance. I followed the instructions and also watched a YouTube video before starting. It helps if you have someone help you lift the hitch (it's heavy). I managed to put it on a block of 2 x 4 wood blocks and took my time…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Protection

Good hitch and easy installation

This is my first hitch on a vehicle I've owned and I was a little worried about the ease of installation but after watching the YT video looked at it, I thought it was. To attempt. Installation was easy enough, at the very least, removing the plastic panels on the left and right sides, installing the screws, and tightening everything up. (Make sure you have a torque wrench to get the correct torque.) I didn't even have to jack the car up. The tricky part for me, since I didn't have the car…

Pros
  • Absolutely legendary
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Affordable easy installation!

For connecting bike carriers or towbar carriers for road travel. Arrived quickly. The box arrived crumpled with a hook sticking out of the corner, but what do you expect from a heavy, sharp metal object in a large empty box. never mind The bolts/washers/instructions were taped very well onto the hitch itself to avoid getting lost and falling out of the box. hats off for that! I remembered several reviewers claiming to lubricate the exhaust mounts with WD-40 and after that the two rearmost…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • unreliable

Don't buy from the dealer when you can get it for a lot less!

I bought this hitch for a 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited AWD. Of course, the instructions could have been better. It's pretty simple, as long as you do it: take some WD40 to spray the rubber tailpipe bracket over the tailpipe tips. Lower hanger. Don't worry if you do it won't fall on you. You will then need to apply some pressure to the rubber bracket to remove it from the metal bar/bracket. Once you have done this the exhaust pipe will drop just far enough for you to tilt the hitch up to the…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Clarity
