Connect to your lifestyle with a custom hitch receiver from CURT. All of our custom hitches are designed for a vehicle-specific fit, manufactured with pride, finished for industry-leading rust resistance and tested to rigorous SAE J684 standards for safety. This class 1 trailer hitch and ball mount combination is designed for a custom fit on select years of the Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima (see application info to verify fitment). The hitch integrates with the vehicle's frame and provides a useful and dependable 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver. The receiver is perfect for attaching the included ball mount and towing a small trailer, or for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, bike rack or other accessory. This particular class 1 hitch is rated for 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). The ball mount included with this trailer hitch quickly and easily installs into the hitch receiver and has a 3/4" trailer ball hole (trailer ball not included). It can be mounted in the rise or drop position to promote level towing. Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 1 hitch is protected with our co-cured finishing process. It is descaled for a smooth surface, immersed in liquid A-coat for rust resistance inside and out, covered with a durable black powder coat and finally co-cured for an industry-leading rust, chip and UV-resistant shield. No matter where you're headed or which season of the year you’re towing in, this CURT hitch is equipped for long-lasting resilience to the elements. It features an open-back receiver for easy cleaning, and it comes with all the hardware necessary for the installation.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)
Includes ball mount #45521, installation hardware, pin & clip

The hitch has a maximum trailer weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
Non-trailer loads (wheel-less loads) can be applied to this hitch, but they must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Required tools are: ratchet, 10 mm socket, 3/4 in socket, pry bar, torque wrench, safety glasses, spray lubricant, and die grinder. A torque wrench is essential because all 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
The hitch includes: four 1/2-13 x 1 1/4 carriage bolts, four .250 x 1.00 x 3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP6), four hex flange nuts (HFN 1213), and two 1/2" x 30" fishwires.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact CURT technical support at 800.798.0813 for clarification.
Two people may be required to ease installation, though the manual does not state whether a single person can complete it alone. If you are hesitant to undertake the task on your own, CURT recommends contacting an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
The first step is to remove the rubber exhaust hangers and lower the exhaust. Be sure to support the exhaust to prevent damage. Refer to the rubber isolator removal diagram in the manual for guidance.
Yes. Remove the heat shield(s) by removing four fasteners. If your vehicle has a plastic underbody panel, remove it by removing six fasteners. After installation, you will reinstall the heat shield(s), leaving the rear-most fastener off and possibly slotting the front hole in the heat shield.
The pads cover holes that will be used to mount the hitch. Remove two pads from each frame rail and discard them. These holes are where the hitch mounting bolts will pass through.
Drilling is not required. However, you may need to enlarge the forward-most hole on both sides of the frame to allow 1/2" bolts and spacers to pass through if there is no fishwire access between the bumper and the rear-most part of the frame. A die grinder is listed as a required tool for this potential enlargement.
Only if your vehicle has a plastic underbody panel. If present, it must be trimmed and reinstalled after the hitch is mounted. The trim diagram on page 2 shows approximate trim dimensions: 7 inches, 1/4 inch, and 5/8 inch. The manual notes that trim dimensions are approximate and you should check fit prior to completing the trim.
All 1/2" hardware (carriage bolts and hex flange nuts) must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness.
The manual includes two 1/2" x 30" fishwires with the hitch. These are used to thread the 1/2" bolts and spacers into position on the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle before raising the hitch into place. The manual references a fishwire technique diagram but does not provide detailed step-by-step instructions in the extracted text. Contact CURT technical support at 800.798.0813 for detailed guidance.
After fishwiring the bolts and spacers into position, raise the hitch into position and attach it to the frame using 1/2" flange nuts. Be careful not to push hardware into the frame when raising the hitch into position.
Reinstall the heat shield(s) after torquing all hardware to 110 ft-lbs. Leave the rear-most fastener off. You may have to slot the front hole in the heat shield to allow clearance for the hitch.
After torquing all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs, reinstall the heat shield(s) (leaving the rear-most fastener off and possibly slotting the front hole), raise the exhaust back into position, and if an underbody panel was present, trim and reinstall it according to the trim diagram. The installation is then complete.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This is a maintenance requirement to keep the hitch safe and functional.
Wear safety glasses at all times while installing this product. When lowering the exhaust, be sure to support it to prevent damage. Do not push hardware into the frame when raising the hitch into position.
CURT hitch 11025 is designed for use with ballmount #D-55001 / 45501. A euro mount option is also available: #45571 (1-7/8" ball) or #45572 (2" ball). The manual does not specify whether these are included or sold separately.
