Yes, CURT part number 11025 is designed for 2011–2014 Hyundai Sonata sedans, including the Blue Drive model. It is not compatible with other body styles or model years outside this range.
Yes, CURT part number 11025 is designed for 2011–2015 Kia Optima sedans. It is not compatible with other body styles or model years outside this range.
The CURT 11025 is rated for a minimum of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Always verify your vehicle's limits before towing.
Non-trailer loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT stabilizing straps, part number 18050. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. Consult the CURT catalog or website for details on the 18050 straps.
You will need: ratchet, 10 mm socket, 3/4 inch socket, torque wrench, pry bar, safety glasses, spray lubricant, and a die grinder (for trimming the underbody panel if present). A spray lubricant is recommended to ease installation.
The kit includes: 4× 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 bolts (1-1/4 inch long, part 10-10278), 4× 0.250 × 1.00 × 3.00 inch square hole spacers (part CM-SP6), 4× 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), and 2× 1/2 inch × 30 inch fishwire (part 1_2 x 30 FISHWIRE).
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 for clarification before beginning installation.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
The installation is rated as Easy to Moderate. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning and using proper tools to improve quality and reduce installation time.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to remove the rubber exhaust hangers and lower the exhaust. Be sure to support the exhaust to prevent damage. After the hitch is installed and torqued, you will raise the exhaust back into position in step 7.
Yes. Step 2 requires removal of the heat shield(s) by removing 4 fasteners. After torquing the hitch hardware in step 7, you will reinstall the heat shield(s), leaving the rear-most fastener off. You may have to slot the front hole in the heat shield to allow clearance.
If your vehicle has a plastic underbody panel, step 2 requires its removal by removing 6 fasteners. After the hitch is installed and torqued, you will trim and reinstall the panel in step 7 according to the trim diagram on page 2 or 4.
The frame rail pads are protective covers over the mounting holes on each frame rail. Step 3 requires you to remove 2 pads from each frame rail and discard them. These holes will be used to mount the hitch.
You may need to enlarge the forward-most hole on both sides of the frame to allow 1/2 inch bolts and spacers to pass through. This is only necessary if there is no fishwire access between the bumper and the rear-most part of the frame. Check for access in step 4 before deciding whether enlargement is needed.
If your vehicle has a plastic underbody panel, you will need to trim it after the hitch is installed. The trim diagram on page 2 or 4 shows approximate trim dimensions: 4 inches on each side (items 401 and 403), 7 inches at the bottom, and 1/4 inch and 1 4/8 inch at specific locations. Trim dimensions are approximate; check fit prior to completing the trim. A die grinder is recommended for this work.
All 1/2 inch hardware must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. This is done in step 7 after the hitch is raised into position and attached to the frame using the 1/2 inch flange nuts.
The hitch uses 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 bolts, 1-1/4 inches long (part 10-10278). Four bolts are included in the kit.
The kit includes 4 square hole spacers, each 0.250 × 1.00 × 3.00 inches (part CM-SP6). These spacers are fishwired and bolted into position on the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle frame in step 4.
The kit includes 4 serrated flange nuts, 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 (part 20-00062). These nuts are used to attach the hitch to the frame in step 6 and are torqued to 110 ft-lbs in step 7.
Fishwire is a flexible wire tool used to route bolts and spacers through tight spaces. The kit includes 2 pieces of 1/2 inch × 30 inch fishwire (part 1_2 x 30 FISHWIRE). In step 4, you fishwire the 1/2 inch bolts and spacers into position on the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle frame. The manual references a fishwire technique diagram for detailed guidance.
After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is important for safe towing.
The CURT 11025 is designed for use with ballmount #D-55001 or #45501. Euro mount options are available: #45571 (1-7/8 inch ball) and #45572 (2 inch ball).
Yes, the CURT 11025 fits 2011–2014 Hyundai Sonata sedans (including Blue Drive) and 2011–2015 Kia Optima sedans.
The CURT 11025 is rated for 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight minimum. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Yes. You must remove and lower the exhaust (supporting it to prevent damage) and remove the heat shield(s) by removing 4 fasteners. Both are reinstalled after the hitch is torqued.
You may need to enlarge the forward-most hole on both frame rails to allow 1/2 inch bolts and spacers to pass through, but only if fishwire access is not available. Check access in step 4 before deciding.
All 1/2 inch hardware must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs after the hitch is raised into position and attached to the frame.
Non-trailer loads must be supported by CURT stabilizing straps, part number 18050. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads voids the warranty.
