  • Trailer Wiring Harness Options for a 2012 Kia Sorento EX

  • What Trailer Hitches Will Fit a 2011 Kia Sorento SX
  • I have recently spoken to my contact at Draw-Tite regarding Trailer Hitch # 75684. He stated that there are no exclusions for the trailer hitches, except if the vehicle has dual exhaust, which means they should fit all models, including your 2011 Kia Sorento SX unless it has dual exhaust. I have included links to the installation instructions and video. If you plan on doing some towing, the recommended ball mount is # C45010 and you can use ball # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19247...

  • Why is Powered Converter Type Trailer Wiring Harness Needed for 2013 Sorento SX
  • All of our 4-pole trailer wiring harness kits for your 2013 Kia Sorento SX V6 without factory tow package are shown on the linked page, such as # C59496. All use a powered converter, which means that rather than simply plugging in to your taillight wiring and using the car's internal wiring to transmit signals for the trailer, these powered converters protect the car's wiring by delivering power for the trailer lights from a separate power connection at the battery. Each kit includes a...

  • Can An RV Fireplace Be Powered By An Inverter
  • A 3000 watt inverter should be rated for 25 amps at 120v or 250 amps at 12v which would be well above what a 1500 watt fireplace would pull. You would need to look at the battery capacity to determine how long it could power the inverter and fireplace. RV fireplaces, like Greystone 26" Electric Fireplace with Crystals # 324-000068, will typically require a 15 amp outlet so I recommend checking the power draw of the fireplace and the capacities of the inverter in order to determine if it...

  • Will Coil SumoSprings Fit a 2012 Kia Sorento EX All Wheel Drive
  • The Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1168R are designed to fit a gap between coils in a spring of 1-3/4 inches. For your 2012 Kia Sorento they could potentially be used if the space between the coils of the springs is 1-3/4 inches. They are listed as a fit for the 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe which is very similar to the Sorento (many of the same aftermarket parts fit both vehicles). But there was a chassis change in 2012 so the SumoSprings may not work unless that gap is 1-3/4 inches.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring Harness, and Other Parts to Tow with a 2014 Kia Sorento
  • The two Class III trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2014 Kia Sorento LX are the Curt # C13152 and the Draw-Tite # 75772. Both have a similar design and look once installed. The Curt has a higher weight capacity but the Draw-Tite is still rated well above what your Sorento can tow so that shouldn't be a deciding factor for you. If I had to choose one I'd go with the Curt just because of the amount of positive reviews we've received. The Draw-Tite's reviews are just as positive but...

  • Will Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13004 Fit the 2011 Kia Sorento SX
  • For your 2011 Kia Sorento SX, the trailer hitch that is the least visible is the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C13073. This trailer hitch sets 4-1/2 inches behind the rearmost point of the bumper. The Draw-Tite # 75684 trailer hitch sits 4 inches behind the rearmost point of the bumper. Curt's warranty on the # C13073 hitch requires that stabilizing straps be used with all non-trailer loads, such as bike racks and cargo carriers. For a stabilizing strap you can use part #...

  • What Is Included On The 2013 Kia Sorento V6 EX Factory Tow Package

In order to tow a trailer with your Sorento, you will need a hitch receiver such as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13073, which will fit models with and without the towing package.

  • The Rightline Cargo Hatch Waterproof Saddlebag # RL100B90 will mount on vehicles that have either roof crossbars or front-to-back side rails.

The bag can also be used on vehicles without any roof rack by using Rightline's Car Clips # RL100605.

  • Adapting Yakima Land Shark Cradles To Yakima JetStream Bars
  • I do have an option for you but I contacted Yakima and the Mighty Mount 39H Accessory Adapter for Yakima CoreBar and JetStream Crossbars part # Y03539 are designed specifically for Yakima CoreBar and JetStream bars so they will not fit your OEM 3/4" thick bars. The Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories part # Y03590 will fit factory cross bars to adapt your accessory to the bars however, there are some Yakima accessories that are not compatible. I would need to know...

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring For 2017 Kia Sorento SXL
  • Since I am not able to search by VIN numbers the easiest way to determine if your vehicle has a tow package is to take the VIN number to a dealership and they will be able to tell you. To tow the trailer, you will need a hitch, wiring, ball mount and ball. I recommend to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75908. I have attached an installation video for your reference. For the wiring, you will need Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56332 if you have...

  • Will EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Fit a 2016 Kia Sorento with Full Size Spare
  • I spoke with my contact at EcoHtch and they said that since they only test fit the trailer hitch # 306-X7320 with the OEM spare tire (donut) they wouldn't be able to confirm if it will fit the larger tire that you have. The other trailer hitches, like the etrailer.com # E98843, have more of a width issue but since the EcoHitch has a higher crossmember I believe that the larger diameter of your spare will be an issue. If you like the hidden look of the EcoHitch and you still have your old...

  • Will Curt Class III C13195 Hitch Interfere With Spare Tire on 2020 Kia Sorento
  • It sure can. You might need to push the spare a couple of inches toward the front of the vehicle as it's lowered or raised to clear the hitch, but you'll have no problem whatsoever using the spare if need be. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # HM11143965 if your Sorento has the factory tow package or # 118583 if it does NOT have the tow package. For a ball mount, use # 2753 and # 19260 for a1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer...

  • Will the Draw-Tite #75684 Fit on a 2011 Kia Sorento SX
  • Yes, one of my colleagues recently spoke with our contact at Draw-Tite about the 2011 Sorento SX model. He found that the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for the Kia Sorento, 2011, item # 75684, is designed to work on your vehicle as long as it does not have dual exhaust. The exhaust on dual exhaust models exits on the drivers and passengers side of the vehicle. I have included a link to the installation instructions, as well as an installation video of the 75684 for you to check out.

  • Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75908 Fit a 2016 Kia Sorento with Full Size Spare Tire
  • Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 75908 fits with the spare shown in the included picture. But if your spare is the exact same size as the other 4 tires on the 2016 Kia Sorento then fit is not confirmed and the spare might have to be carried elsewhere.
