CURT parts for the Genesis G80
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and the wiring guide walks you through four-flat and seven-way for the G80.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45521 ($51.38 CAD) drops straight into a 1-1/4 inch receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.
Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.
Genesis G80 hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Genesis G80?
It depends on the year. CURT 12165 covers 2017 through 2020, a Class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver rated to 3,500 lb. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a G80 with this hitch?
Yes. The 1-1/4 inch receiver takes any 1-1/4 inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (350 lb on CURT 12165), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is the most you'd want on it.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 12165 a novice install, about 30 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can a G80 tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated to 3,500 lb, but the G80's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
