A CURT trailer hitch is the key to pursuing your passions, whether you're taking the family boat out for an afternoon on the water or packing up the mountain bikes for a day on the trails. This CURT class 2 hitch is perfect for towing a small trailer, such as a boat trailer, lightweight camper or utility trailer. It can also be used to mount a hitch cargo carrier or bike rack (never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Like all CURT custom hitches, this class 2 trailer hitch is made for a vehicle-specific fit. It is engineered to seamlessly integrate with select years of the Genesis G80, Genesis G90 and Hyundai Genesis (see application info to verify fitment). It is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. It is also equipped with 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hitch receiver to accept the included ball mount. The ball mount that comes with this hitch kit has a 3/4" trailer ball hole and can be positioned in the drop or rise orientation for level towing with your specific trailer (trailer ball not included). Like all CURT custom receiver hitches, this class 2 hitch is designed, manufactured, finished and tested with the utmost care. It is engineered for a precise fit, easy installation, maximum towing strength and an integrated look on the vehicle. It is also tested to SAE J684 protocols for safety. This class 2 trailer hitch is finished with our industry-leading dual-coat process for unparalleled rust, chip and UV resistance. It is descaled for a smooth surface, submersed in liquid A-coat for rust prevention inside and out, covered with a highly durable powder coat, and finally co-cured for a dependable shield against the elements. This class 2 hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and mounting hardware for a complete 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)
Installation requires drilling, heat shield trimming and temporary lowering of exhaust

Yes, the 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 Class 2 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Ball Mount (Part #CHD-121653-004) is designed to fit the 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis.
The 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 Class 2 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Ball Mount (Part #CHD-121653-004) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
CURT part number 12165 fits 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2017 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 and Genesis G80 sedans. Confirm your model year and body style match before purchasing. The manual notes that 2012 models have a different exhaust configuration requiring removal of 2 nuts with a 19mm socket in front of mufflers on each side, rather than rubber isolators.
The CURT 12165 is rated for a maximum of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Always verify your vehicle's towing limits in your owner's manual.
The CURT 12165 is designed for use with ball mount #45521. Euro mount options are also available: #45571 (1-7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball).
You will need: a power drill with 17/32" drill bit, a ratchet, 10mm socket, 19mm socket, 3/4" socket, a torque wrench, aviation shears, and a pencil or marker. The 19mm socket is required only for 2012 models.
The kit includes: 4 square hole spacers (CM-SP6, 0.250 x 1.00 x 3.00"), 4 hex flange nuts (HFN 1213), 4 carriage bolts (1/2-13 x 1 3/4"), and 2 pieces of 1/2" fishwire.
The manual does not specify battery disconnection. However, the installation involves lowering the exhaust system. If you are uncomfortable working near electrical or fuel components, contact an authorized CURT installer or call technical support at 800-798-0813.
Two people are recommended for installation. The manual states "2 PEOPLE MAY BE REQUIRED" to ease installation, particularly when raising and lowering the hitch into position.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill 4 holes using a 17/32" drill bit for 1/2" fasteners. The holes are marked 2.5" rearward of the access hole, centered along the frame rail on each side. The manual notes that all dimensions are approximate; confirm fit prior to drilling.
Yes, the heat shields must be modified as shown in the trim diagram. After modification, reinstall them with the original fasteners. The manual includes a heat shield diagram showing the trim required.
Yes, the exhaust must be lowered. Remove the 4 rear rubber exhaust isolators and gently lower the exhaust. On 2012 models, remove 2 nuts with a 19mm socket in front of the mufflers on each side instead. After installation, raise the exhaust and reinstall the isolators (or bolt it back together on 2012 models).
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness.

All non-trailer loads (wheel-less loads) applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This is especially important before towing.
