How to Select a Trailer Hitch
A 2012 through 2017 Veloster often lands on a Class 1 one and one quarter inch receiver when the plan is bikes or a small cargo box under the Hyundai sticker.
Watch on YouTubeHyundai Veloster Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Hyundai Veloster in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open the live CURT 11254 Class 1 card. That hitch covers listed 2012 through 2017 Veloster years on a one and one quarter inch receiver. Ratings on the live card sit around one thousand pounds gross trailer weight and one hundred pounds tongue weight, which is lighter than many Class 1 shelves, so treat the Hyundai tow limit as the final word even when the hatch looks ready for bikes and a small cargo box.

Trailer Hitch Installation Techniques
Novice install notes on the live 11254 card still mean budget shop time around thirty minutes and recheck hardware after the first salted Canadian trips.

We do not currently stock a dedicated Veloster four-flat on this shelf. Confirm harness options on the wiring guide and test the plug before you blame the trailer.

Watch on YouTubeWhich CURT hitch fits your Hyundai Veloster
CURT 11254 is the Class 1 hitch for listed 2012 through 2017 Hyundai Veloster years. The live card rates about one thousand pounds gross trailer weight and one hundred pounds tongue weight on a one and one quarter inch receiver, with novice install difficulty around thirty minutes. Those hitch numbers only matter after the Hyundai door sticker and owner manual agree with your plan, and the lighter rating on this shelf is worth reading twice before you plan anything heavier than bikes or a small box.
Elantra sedan and Elantra GT keep their own buyers guides because those shelves are different parts. Later Veloster years may land on different CURT cards when stocked. Confirm your door-sticker year against the live 11254 list before you order.
Parts-counter notes before you click buy
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Door sticker first | A hitch is not a blank cheque. Read the Hyundai tow limit, then open hitch versus vehicle tow rating. |
| Lighter Class 1 rating | Live 11254 lists about one thousand pounds gross and one hundred pounds tongue. That is lighter than many Class 1 cards. Stay under both the hitch and the Hyundai sticker. |
| Card years only | Live 11254 covers listed 2012 through 2017 Veloster years. Confirm the live card year list before you order. |
| Bike rack reality | Many Veloster hitch buyers only want bikes or a small cargo box. Open hitch for bike rack only. |
| Wiring gap | We do not currently stock a dedicated Veloster four-flat on this shelf. Start with the wiring harness guide and a plug tester before you chase trailer faults. |
| Receiver size | Match accessories to the one and one quarter inch opening. See the receiver size guide. |
| Install habits | Live card notes novice install around thirty minutes. Recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
| Hyundai cousins | Elantra sedan and Elantra GT keep their own guides on the towing guides hub. Do not assume Veloster shares those SKUs. |
