Somebody posted this to the same question on the Facebook group the other day. I asked him multiple times for information and he didn't respond 😩

I need to tow a small trailer when I get mine so I asked the dealer and he said that his parts guy was able to find a part number but no other information. I'm going to ask him again soon if they've gotten updates.

 

That would be perfect. I need a 2inch receiver as well.

 

Depends on country I think. Here are a few I’ve come across

retractable tow bar

Bike carrier

And this is the detachable one we get in Aus. It’s apparently imported from Korea (been waiting for it since end November)

 

I love the idea of the retractable one !

 

I too have a bike rack that uses a 2" receiver.

I emailed Miles Johnson Senior Manager, Quality, Service and Technology Public Relations at Hyundai USA regarding the size of the hitch that Hyundai will sell. "Port Installed Options -Tow Hitch TH $450" (see attached) He told me it is 1 1/4 inches.

Hopefully we will find out who makes the hitch seen in the Facebook post. I would imagine aftermarket makers such as Curt will make one at some point.

I'll probably just wait for aftermarket then because I don't want to have to adapt to 2" and induce a bunch of play on the whole system.

 

i have an Ioniq 5 Ultimate on order and it is in port. i, too, need a 2" receiver hitch and can't find anything. i am contemplating building a proto-type similar to the original unit that came on my 06 Dodge Magnum. this unit mounted on the frame rails but had the receiver completely hidden and pointing down. from there an L shaped receiver presented a 2" receiver in the traditional setup. the issue with the Ionic might be ground clearance for this type on unit. it might be hard to visualize but it worked and i towed a 24' sailboat and a 17' travel trailer.

 

That looks slick. But you would have to remove the plastic panel that is currently in the way which might effect the aerodynamics of the car.

 

back to hooking up our bike racks I have a Thule similar to your Rocky The pictures people are posting are of hitches for trailers etc We need a sleeve Just venting

 

I’m interested in purchasing an Ioniq 5, but installing a 2 inch receiver for my bike rack is a requirement. I need to carry two e-bikes at 40+ pounds each, plus my rack weighs 50 pounds, so a 1.5” receiver is not robust enough to handle this weight even with a 2 inch adapter.

I am astonished that the Hyundai has not provided a clear path to installing a 2 inch receiver, given how many people are using these types of bicycle racks. Honestly, if I cannot come up with a straight solution to this, I will simply purchase an ID.4. Is the manufacturer really saying ‘too bad’ to anybody who wants to use a 2” hitch-mounted bike rack?

 

fear not people. I have a 2 inch factory installed hitch on my I 5

Do you have details on pricing including installation?

 

Sorry no I don’t. I asked for one when I ordered the vehicle and that’s what I got. But at least you know it does exist.

 

Slide, could you ask your dealer what part they obtained to match the Ioniq 5 and where they got it? Also, may I ask how much the dealer charged to supply and install the hitch?

Thanks!

 

So-- we in USA need to go to Australia? Be nice for all if you could get the manufacturer name and part number

 

SoCalLagunaMan,
I'll try to arrange a charter flight to Aukland for us Americans. Maybe we can can a group discount on these custom hitches!

 

Thanks I have not been to your county yet so a charter flight would be great There are so many of us ebike riders that can not use a regular bike rack Your bikes sure are light at 40 lbs Mine is 63 with the battery I guess it does not matter and I cnanot take it anywhere Dumb Hyundai

 

A couple more photos for those interested. Looks like they cut a neat hole in the bumper plastic. Ill email the dealer for you guys. The towbar and wiring cost me $NZ1650. No doubt cheaper elsewhere. We pay through the nose for everything in the Shaky Isles. Thats the cost of living in paradise

 

Slyde, those are great photos. They really show exactly how the solution was executed. Your dealer was clearly resourceful. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Yeah, when I first saw this car, my thought was: how the **** do they install a bicycle rack receiver with a bumper faring like that?

 

Ok so someone asked about the part number for the tow bar with 2 inch hitch that I have. Turns out Hyundai NZ outsourced this to a local tow bar specialist who does hitches locally for all their vehicles. So I can confirm that it is possible to be done and can be done by a local supplier where you live. I have no other details about how it’s done sorry.

 

Thanks, Slyde, for getting back to us with this info. I’ll have to consult with some local businesses around here to see if they can replicate what your guy did. It looks like he did a Sterling job! Have fun with your new car!

 

This was just on another thread. We still need a US mfg.
Quebec manufacturer has two hitches listed.
Attaches-Remorques, accessoires et supports à vélo | SRG Attache Remorque

 

Not a bad price! I sent them an email to confirm that they ship to the lower 58...

 

I emailed as well two days ago and no response.

 

As a dealership I would not be happy with Hyundai corporate for not having OEM tow package and roof rack system for me to sell.

 

I don't know about other countries, but a roof rack isn't even an option is it, in the sense that the design of the roof doesn't allow for a 'native' roof rack, right ? That is, it doesn't have the gutter or track or whatever it is called where a roof rack would be installed, does it ? (The yakima type systems that clip in to the door is not an option I want - I had one of those systems stolen years ago)

 

I contacted Torklift Central, located in Kent, WA. They've made 2" receives for multiple small cars in the past. Got the following response:

"Thank you for reaching out to us. At the moment we don't have any immediate plans for releasing an Ioniq 5 hitch, but considering our history with hitches for EVs, I'd be surprised if we didn't make one. If you'd like, I can add your information to our product development sheet. This lets our team know there is interest in a product for a particular vehicle. Please let me know if you have any questions or anything I can help with."

They were ok with me sharing this info (no affiliation), contact them if you're interested: support@torkliftcentral.com

Thanks for sharing, I just emailed them as I'm in Tacoma.

 

I also have a 2 inch hitch in Australia. 1500 AUD including install, OEM part.

 

Just emailed them as well. Fingers crossed

 

For those that have emailed customer service, it might help to contact Darrel directly:

He called me today and confirmed 2", free hitch and install. He is looking to schedule someone next week (takes about a week)

 

Hello, I live in the Netherlands and on March 19, 2022 I will receive my Ioniq 5. When I bought it, I could immediately order a detachable towbar. Order number in NL = G1281ADE00 and the matching cable set has order number G1621ADE00PC

 

Yup, seems like every country except the US...

 

Hello,
I am here in Southern California, following this thread and hoping that this tow hitch will be available soon...

 

I reached out to Hyundai customer care directly and got the following response:

Hyundai Customer Care Center is unable to provide information regarding parts availability as we do not have information regarding parts delivery or shipments. We recommend that you continue to work with your local Hyundai dealership, as they are the only ones that can get the parts you are requesting. We apologize for any frustration or inconvenience this may have caused.

 

I also got a call from my dealer saying that neither the hitch nor the all weather floor mats are available ... had no additional info whatsoever.

I'll be watching this channel as I am an avid cyclist and need a way to carry bikes!

 

Stealth Hitches makes cool hidden hitches, but nothing for our car... Maybe everyone from this forum can request and show high demand to make it on this list :

I reached out to Stealth and they told me that the Ionic 5 is on their development list, but they cannot locate a car to work on the design. The person I spoke to said that if I know of anyone in the Atlanta area that is willing to lend them their car, they could complete the design. Not sure how long they would need your car, and I'm willing to guess that you could work out a discount on a hitch if you let them borrow your car. The address for their R&D center is 4580 COMMERCE PKWY, SUGAR HILL, GA 30518
