#1 of 42 Veracruz Trailer Hitches by ml0126 Sep 19, 2007 (5:58 pm)
If anybody has added a trailer hitch to their Veracruz, please post which brand. I am looking for a hitch that will not take awahy from the looks of the car. So far I am favoring the Hidden Hitch brand but would love to see a picture of it installed???thanks Replies to this message: jmaulsby (Sep 21, 2007 10:03 am) tidester (Sep 21, 2007 10:36 am) ml0126 (Sep 23, 2007 5:29 pm)

Replying to: ml0126 (Sep 19, 2007 5:58 pm) I received my Hidden Hitch on Thursday and plan to install it on Saturday. I will take a photo, but not sure how to send it on this web site. If you want me to send it to your e-mail address, let me know. Replies to this message: tidester (Sep 21, 2007 10:36 am) ml0126 (Sep 23, 2007 5:29 pm)

Replying to: jmaulsby (Sep 21, 2007 10:03 am) not sure how to send it on this web site   Follow the help link at the bottom of this page for complete instructions on how to post a picture. Easier still, set up your own CarSpace (link at top of this page) which makes posting pictures a breeze.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
#4 of 42 Towing rate by ilit Sep 21, 2007 (12:04 pm)
Per the VC user's manual, the towing rated at 3,500lbs and tongue weight is 300lbs if the trailer has brakes; otherwise, these limits are only 1/2, that are 1,250lbs and 150lbs. At that tongue weight load, I guess I can only carry a carrier with 2 bikes or not much loads on a trailer without brakes!   I have a Hidden hitch installed. It looks nice. You virtually see no crossbar members. There are 2 bolts on each side. You need a torque wrench and you can torque only 1 bolt to spec on each side. The other one you need a special open wrench (with head only) because it's behind something (I don't remember what that is!). So, may be you have to take to a Hyundai dealership and ask them torque for you. That's what I did and they didn't charge me!

If you'll post hitch (or other Veracruz) photos to your CarSpace album, then we'll all be able to enjoy the pics.
#7 of 42 Hidden Hitch on 2007 SE by jmaulsby Sep 24, 2007 (5:45 am)
I am very pleased with the installed hitch. I have several photos I can send, but don't know how to access my Carspace album. If the 2008 has a tow hook on the passenger side next to the muffler and two empty threaded holes on the opposite site next to the muffler, the Hidden Hitch should work.

Replying to: jmaulsby (Sep 24, 2007 5:53 am) Thanks. It's always interesting to see if the Hidden Hitch goes under or over the tailpipe(s). I think under like yours is the most common way.   Here's a shortcut link to your album. To see other albums, click on a member's name in the post title and the CarSpace link will be in their profile.   Or just add the member name to the url, for example, www.carspace.com/steve_ Replies to this message: whenindowt (Sep 26, 2007 4:30 pm) jmaulsby (Sep 27, 2007 5:35 am) ml0126 (Sep 27, 2007 7:56 pm)
