I was thinking of putting on a hitch for bikes and the occasional utility trailer haul.... Wanted to see if anyone has done it yet?

This is the one that gets brought up most of the time, I think a couple of people have done it on here.

I could be wrong, but I think most of the people that installed hitches on Venue intended to only carry bicycles.
Before proceeding it might be worth asking if the warranty would be impacted since Hyundai says the Venue has no towing capacity.

From page 5-91 of the Canadian owners manual.
"Towing capacity
We do not recommend using this vehicle for trailer towing."

According to the tire placard on my Venue states the total combined weight of passengers and cargo should not exceed 380 kg or 838 pounds.

To calc how much cargo you can carry according to the tire placard it's...
in Pounds
838-weight of passengers=available cargo capacity.
In kg
380-weight of passengers=available cargo capacity.
Example:
You have 5 passengers weighing 150 pounds each.
838-750=88 pounds of available cargo capacity.

I'd remove that hitch when you bring your car in for maintenance to avoid a warranty strike. 😭

My Dealer said you can put one on but only for bike attachments. Hyundai even sells them.

Yep, they do. I was a little surprised when I looked at the Venue cargo carrying capacity.

I guess the warranty. might be voided if an offensive line packef into a Venue.
