How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 3 to the Entourage door sticker and the live 13345 rating before you shop a heavier trailer.
Watch on YouTubeHyundai Entourage Trailer Hitch Buyer's Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Hyundai Entourage in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit, then open the live CURT 13345 Class 3 card. That hitch covers listed two thousand seven through two thousand nine Entourage years on a two inch receiver with about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight on the hitch card. The same SKU also lists Kia Sedona years, so keep the badge honest and open the Sedona guide when that is the minivan in the driveway.

Trailer Hitch Installation Techniques
Confirm the install sheet for the listed Entourage years, then recheck torque after salted Canadian winters.
Watch on YouTubeHow to Connect a Trailer Wiring Harness
Plan lights after the hitch. An Entourage often needs a vehicle-specific harness path rather than a guess at the bumper plug.

A two inch ball mount must level the trailer. Check rise versus drop once the hitch is on the minivan.
Watch on YouTubeWhat the live CURT 13345 card actually covers
CURT 13345 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver. On the live card it is rated to about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight, and it notes weight-distribution compatibility at about four thousand pounds with four hundred pounds tongue weight when you run a proper weight-distribution setup. Those numbers are hitch ratings, not a promise that every Entourage trim can tow that much.
Fitment on the live card includes listed two thousand seven through two thousand nine Hyundai Entourage years alongside Kia Sedona years called out on the same shelf. The Sedona fitment note on the card also mentions a wheelbase caveat for some Sedona years, so keep Sedona shopping honest on the Sedona guide when that is the van. Confirm your Entourage year on the live 13345 page before you order.
Entourage owners usually tow a small utility trailer, a pop-up, or a bike rack. Minivan bumper covers and fascia steps matter on install day, so follow the CURT sheet instead of guessing clearance from a photo.

How to shop an Entourage hitch without getting lost
Step 1Read the door sticker

Step 2Open live 13345
Confirm your Entourage year is listed, then note Class 3, two inch tube, and the hitch ratings.
Step 3Plan lights
Decide harness versus converter after you know what plug the trailer needs.
Step 4Match accessories
Two inch cover, five-eighths pin or lock, ball mount height, then a first-tow walk-around.
Receiver

Year pages that already exist for Entourage
These year landers are already live. Use them when you want a year-first path into the same hitch shelf.
Always confirm the live 13345 card still lists your year before you order.
Accessories that match a two inch receiver
Keep the tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with an anti-rattle kit sized for two inch. Ball mounts must match that opening. If you need rise instead of drop to level a low trailer, open the rise versus drop guide after you pick the shank size.
