I hope to own an Ioniq 5 in the next few months. But I want to make sure I can attach my Rocky Mounts bike rack on the car. It uses a 2” receiver to mount to the back. Does anyone know if there is a receiver type hitch for this car?

I'll give a strong recommendation for the Torklift hitch. I just did mine last night. The quality is fantastic (love that its stainless too). The downside is the install process - not for the faint of heart!. It also takes a while. Be prepared for 3-4 hours. Others have pointed a few things I'll reiterate that are important. The YouTube video is amazing and I could not have installed without it. BY FAR the hardest part is removing the bumper clips on each side. You need to be careful and have a lot of patience. The cutting sounds like the scariest part but its not with an oscillating cutting tool. If you do the masking tape trick in the video and take your time its really pretty easy and the result is great. Lastly, if a bike rack is your main purpose I really think this is the best option as the car already rides low. This keeps the rack up a bit more than hitches that drop below like the OEM one.

Looks like Uhaul has a hitch for the Ioniq 5 also.

Stealth hitch install instructions are up!
Definitely attaches to the OEM mount points, same as Torklift. Also seems to have the same setup with separate side plates that can be attached to the car frame first and then the hitch attaches to the side plates.
Instructions show a need to remove bumper - but given others have done the Torklift without removing it and the OEM hitch can also be done without removal I personally am going to attempt this without removing it when it eventually gets delivered

Torklift should take a lesson on instruction writing from that Stealth PDF. I installed the Torklift 2" receiver hitch, and it's a good piece of gear. The instructions are egregiously lacking, though.
I wouldn't suggest DIY installing the Torklift hitch to anyone who isn't quite comfortable with all of the tools in the Stealth instructions. In particular, make sure you have a right-angle Philips ratchet screwdriver that can fit into tight places. You're welcome.

Did you install with or without removing the bumper? I'm hoping to follow the OEM guide gif61au000.pdf and just sub in the Stealth hitch instructions for actually bolting in the hitch itself - Also have the OEM harness to fit.
Any opinions on if this is doable, given your experience? Thanks!

The bumper stayed on. The bumper cover definitely had to come off. It was doable, but frustrating, mostly because of the crap instructions.

UHAUL customer service got me the PDF of the install instructions.Looks like Uhaul has a hitch for the Ioniq 5 also.

The photo is most likely not the hitch for the I5 as the mounting points do not look right. Also the video is for generic hitches and the Install Guide does not work. Hopefully someone will confirm this hitch fits.

I just had the Torklift hitch installed yesterday. I'm putting on a Thule Helium today. Have you had any issues with the back up camera and/or blind spot detector setting off alarms? Jamming on the brakes?

Oh yeah. The detectors that trigger various audible and visual alarms when backing up see my bike rack - folded up or full of bikes - and think I'm about to back into something, regardless of the direction the car's going. This can be temporarily disabled by pressing the button highlighted below for a couple of seconds.

Button on the dash of the 2022 Ioniq 5?
I just found the installation instructions for the Uhaul hitch. It's from Draw-tite. I am no expert in this, but can anyone tell me if this is mounted to the OEM mount points?
Thank you so much. Any help is appreciated!

No those are not the OEM mount points.
Thanks. If I am using the hitch for a bike rack only, does anyone know how important it is to mount the hitch to the OEM points? The tongue weight for this draw-tite hitch is rated for 300lbs. The bike rack + 4 bikes is about 100lbs + 30 to 40lbs per bike. Any thoughts? Is it safe to assume that US or Canada regulations would not allow a company to make a hitch that is not safe for use or that would damage the vehicle?

I wouldn’t risk it personally. The Draw-Tite hitch mounts to the really thin sheet metal of the body. The OEM hitch mounts to the chassis/frame. The OEM hitch is widely available in the US. Mine just arrived Friday.
It also lowers the attachment point below the bumper. It could present a ground clearance problem for racks that extends out to the rear.
I'll give a strong recommendation for the Torklift hitch. I just did mine last night. The quality is fantastic (love that its stainless too). The downside is the install process - not for the faint of heart!. It also takes a while. Be prepared for 3-4 hours. Others have pointed a few things I'll reiterate that are important.

I agree, I took my bike out for the first time. The hitch is an extremely tight fit. I had to spray WD-40 on it and pound the rack into the receiver with a wood block and sledge hammer. It removed okay with some strong pulls and wiggling. The good thing is it traveled very well with no movement of the rack. My old hitch had a lot more play in it and the rack would bounce over bumps.

I toiled over this about a month ago and ended up going for the Torklift because of my concerns. A realization that the bike racks are 100% carried rather then pulled like a trailer, that the mount point is lower to the road and bottoming out is more likely in this car made me shiver if the OEM mounts were not being used.
Assuming you're in BC, maybe take a roadtrip and pickup the Torklift and forget about it! My 2c.
I installed mine yesterday during the power outage north of Toronto. Leveraged V2L to power my oscillating tool and a bar fridge. Critical elements for a job like this! Something quite satisfying about using that for the task at hand.
For those interested, I installed without removing the bumper, but did have to fold back the wheel well linings to access and torque some bolts and also loosened the cover over the rear motor to get the hitch behind the bumper. Also, for me, the bumper cutting with the bumper off may be less stress, but I'll never know!
I'm super pleased it's in place now and I can forget about it. Wiring harness is en-route and I'll have to figure out what I'm going to do with mounting the plug for that next. Any advice appreciated.
Wow you guys have been more than awesome. Thank you for all the comments. I am sold on the Torklift. It is nearly twice the cost including the installation, but I better bite the bullet for the peace of mind. Now I gotta find an installer. I live in BC but closer to the Montana border. I am just surprised I can’t find any hitch installer near Kalispell/Whitefish area. I suppose I can ask Uhaul or dealerships if they could install a hitch that I bring with me. Thanks again guys!!!
