All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Hyundai Elantra and Elantra Coupe (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Hyundai Elantra (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

The 2016 Hyundai Elantra Sedan Curt 1-1/4" Class 1 Trailer Tow Hitch + 5-Flat Wiring Kit Tow Boat/Utility Trailer with Surge Brakes 11303 (Part #5W-CHW-1814) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the CURT 11303 is designed for Hyundai Elantra Sedan and Coupe models from 2011 to present. The installation process differs slightly between sedan and coupe models, particularly regarding plastic trimming and hole enlargement requirements.
Yes, the CURT 11303 fits both sedan and coupe models. However, coupe models require additional steps: enlargement of a 1/4" hole to allow for a 1/2" carriage bolt, and plastic trimming on the driver side after installation.
Drilling is required only on Korean-built Elantra models. Check your vehicle door sticker to confirm build location. Non-Korean-built models use existing mounting holes that require enlargement only. Korean-built models require drilling new holes on both sides to allow 1/2-13 carriage bolts and CM-SP6 spacers to pass through.
The CURT 11303 has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The CURT 11303 is designed for use with ball mount #D-55001 or #45501. Euro mount options are also available: #45571 (1-7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball).
Required tools include: socket wrench, torque wrench, 3/4" socket, 10mm socket, die grinder, screwdriver, and aviation shears. A marker is also needed for marking drill holes on Korean-built models.
The kit includes: 3 bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-1/2", grade 8, yellow zinc), 3 flanged nuts (1/2-13 UNC, grade 8, yellow zinc), 2 square hole spacers (0.250 x 1.00 x 3.00"), 1 square hole spacer (0.250 x 1.50 x 3.00"), and 1 piece of 1/2" fishwire.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 for clarification on this step.
Two people may be required to ease installation. However, the manual does not specify whether a second person is mandatory or optional.
Yes, lowering the exhaust is required to ease installation. The exhaust is lowered by removing rubber isolators from the muffler. After the hitch is installed and positioned, the exhaust is raised back into position in step 13.
Fishwire is used to reverse 1/2-13 carriage bolts and CM-SP6 spacers through the enlarged access holes on both sides of the frame rail. This technique allows the hardware to be threaded through from the inside of the frame.
All fasteners should be loosely installed first (steps 9-10), then torqued together to 110 lb-ft in step 11. The manual does not specify a particular tightening sequence.
Yes, drilling is required on Korean-built models. Using the hitch as a template, you must mark and drill holes large enough to allow 1/2-13 carriage bolts and CM-SP6 spacers to pass through on both sides. Check your vehicle door sticker to confirm if your Elantra is Korean-built.
Plastic trimming is required only on coupe models. On coupe models, plastic on the driver side of the vehicle must be trimmed as shown in the trim diagram and then reinstalled after the hitch is positioned.
On non-Korean-built models, existing mounting holes must be enlarged enough to allow 1/2-13 carriage bolts and CM-SP6 spacers to pass through. On coupe models, a 1/4" hole must also be enlarged to allow for a 1/2" carriage bolt. The manual provides a hole enlargement diagram but does not specify exact enlargement dimensions.
All 1/2-13 hardware (carriage bolts and flanged nuts) must be torqued to 110 lb-ft.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. You can reach CURT technical support at 877-287-8634.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. For further information, see the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com.
After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This maintenance is important for safe operation.
The manual states to periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound, but does not specify an exact interval. Regular inspection is recommended for safe towing.

You will need a drill with a 3/32" bit (if drilling a new grounding hole), a screwdriver, and basic hand tools. The kit includes an eyelet and screw for the ground wire. A Phillips or flat-head screwdriver is needed to remove plastic fasteners from the rear scuff panel and felt trunk liner.
Open the trunk and remove the rear scuff panel by removing three plastic fasteners and pulling up. On the driver side, remove two plastic fasteners holding the felt trunk liner in place and pull back the liner to reveal the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors. The connectors may be wrapped in foam.
Separate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors carefully, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat on the passenger side using the T-Connector end with the green wire.
Locate a flat spot on the vehicle's frame near the taillight connectors and adhere the black converter box using the double-sided tape provided in the kit.
Only if a suitable grounding point does not already exist near the connector. If you must drill, create a 3/32" hole and secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under surfaces will not be damaged.
Drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire. The kit includes an eyelet and screw to secure the white ground wire in the hole.
The white ground wire must be secured to a grounding point on the vehicle's frame. You can use an existing screw with nut in the frame, or drill a 3/32" hole and secure the wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface will not be damaged. This is critical to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury.
Route the T-Connector end with the green wire across to the passenger side behind the rear scuff panel. This keeps the wiring concealed and protected.
Re-install all items removed during installation, including the felt trunk liner and rear scuff panel.
