I thought I could do this myself with no help - wrong (but I am a disabled veteran with bad shoulders, was too heavy for me). After it fell off the tailpipe on the one side and hit me in the head - (good size knot) on head), I go my helper - a floor jack with a scrap piece of plywood large enough to handle any shifting of hitch. I was actually able to get it on the tailpipe side and jack up with my leg to get all the holes aligned (the front ones can be difficult). I put in all the bolts on the one side in but not tightened down, the slide the jack over and was able to do the other side. Placement of the first bolt (nearest back bumper) was difficult on both sides but once aligned I was able to go back and tighten down all of the bolts. Would have taken less time if I started with the floor jack.

Glad it worked out in the end! Hopefully your head feels better. Also, thank you for your service. Glad I could provide a tiny bit of help in return.

Very helpful DIY video! Bought a 2023 Hyundai Tuscon SEL w/ Convenience Package and will be doing a cross-country PCS move. Was going to get a hitch professionally installed but after watching your video and some others, I am convinced I can do an install myself and save some money on a relatively easy installation. Thanks for showing us how it's done. Would love to know what you think of the hitch after having it on for a few months. Does it bottom out ever? Do you wish you installed an attachment bracket for the wire, or has it been fine tucked away? Thanks in advance.

[@DavinDesborough]

Thank you for the compliments! It is an easy install if you have the tools. The hitch has been fine. I have used it with my bike rack and trailer, no issues. As for bottoming out, you'd have to be going over something really tall or navigating a big dip for that to be a concern. It sits plenty high enough to not hit anything. The wire has been fine riding up there. It has never fallen out. That said, I did buy this, but haven't actually installed it yet. amzn.to/4bEumjT (Amazon affiliate link) Good luck!

Appreciate the response. Another question for you, if you don’t mind. Do you like the black glossy look or would you recommend a black matte texture? I’ve heard matte could be better against scratches but I also have seen it to cost more.

[@DavinDesborough]

@justinhogenauer5568 so little of it shows that it is not a big deal either way in my opinion. No Matter what, it will likely rust over time and you'll want to take it off and repaint it.

I see the black panel is not replaced. Does road dirt get up into the hitch area? Does this self installed hitch void any warranties.

[@DavinDesborough]

You are not modifying anything about the car while installing the hitch or harness. It should not impact the warranty. That said, I would ask the dealer to be sure if that is a concern for you. The panel that is removed is just to help with airflow.. It is not sealed to the body, so dirt and water will get behind it no matter what. You'll also notice that it only covers about 3/4 the width of the bumper. Good luck!

I have been stuck at 4:04 unscrewing to no avail

[@DavinDesborough]

You need some downward force on the panel. Or just pry it off with a screwdriver
