Expert Answers about Kia Sorento


  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2017 Kia Sorento
  • I do have a solution for you, however the Yakima Claws with Pin Adapters # Y8880201 are not a confirmed fit for your 2017 Kia Sorento. As long as your Sorento has flush mounted rails that run front to back, I recommend the Yakima Roof Rack that consists of # Y00425 for the two 50 inch JetStream Crossbars, # Y00145 for the RidgeLine Towers and # Y06013 for the RidgeClip Fit Kit. This a great system that includes aerodynamic crossbars that will greatly reduce wind noise when driving with...

  • Trailer Spare Tire Cover Recommendation for Tire Size 5.30-12
  • The Classic Accessories Custom Fit Spare Tire Cover # 052963751000 that you referenced would work well to cover a 5.30-12 tire. This cover has been confirmed to fit this size so it should work well for you. This cover is for tires that are between 21 and 22 inches in diameter which matches the size of your tire.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Kia Sorento and Thule Helium Aero Bike Rack
  • For use with the Thule Helium Aero bike rack I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75908 for your 2016 Kia Sorento. I would go with it because the Curt hitch would require the use of stabilization strap # 18050 per Curt's warranty. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation of the hitch for you.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Honda Civic Sedan
  • The Curt Hitch part # C11391 that you referenced would be the correct hitch for your 2015 Honda Civic Sedan. If you were looking for a bike rack to go along with this hitch I would recommend the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This is a great rack that has a ton of positive review from our customers who have bought it. Check out the review video I attached.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Kia Sorento and Womens and Childrens Bikes
  • I have a solution for you that I think you will like. Take a look at the Thule Gateway, # TH78VR. This is a 3 bike rack that has a capacity of 105 pounds total. It does have cushioned legs but remember that the more weight that is on the rack the more pressure it is pointing on the contact points on the vehicle. It is possible that with enough weight, it could deform the vehicle. If the vehicle surface and bike rack legs are clean it will not scratch the paint. The arms of the rack are...

  • Best Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Kia Sorento Limited
  • The Curt Hitch part # C13152 that you referenced would be an excellent choice for your 2014 Kia Sorento Limited. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening that will have more capacity and hitch mounted carrier options than the 1-1/4 inch options that are also available for you vehicle. I am confident this is the best hitch you could purchase for your 2014 Kia Sorento. I attached an installation video for this hitch for you to check out also. I also attached an FAQ on hitch classifications...

  • Hitch & Trailer Wiring Recommendations For 2015 Kia Sorento EX T-GDI
  • The etrailer # e98841 Class III Hitch is confirmed to fit all 2015 Kia Sorento EX models with a factory towing package, including your T-GDI that has the 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder engine. I contacted the manufacturer and they were able to confirm that the # C56332 T-Connector harness will work for your specific vehicle, including your trim and engine style.

  • Recommended Hitch Lock for Pro Series Q-Slot Platform Bike Rack
  • Pro Series does not actually offer a locking hitch pin for their Q-Slot PS63138, but we have found that the Hitch Tite Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # SA3022 works very nicely with the rack. The threaded hitch pin is compatible with the threaded shank on your Pro Series Rack and features an easy-to-use push-to-lock design. 2 keys are included. You can also add the Saris Cable Lock # SA981 to lock the bikes to the rack. I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on these products that...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Light Travel Trailer R-Pod 179
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. That means your tongue weight is...

  • Wiring Harness recommendation for 2016 Kia Sorento
  • For your 2016 Kia Sorrento I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56256. This wiring harness will plug into your vehicle's existing factory wiring, and the black wire hot lead will need to be connected to the vehicle's battery. The Curt T-Connector comes with a 4-way flat trailer connector. I have attached the installation instructions for you. I have also linked an installation video on a 2015 Kia Sorento.

  • Class S Rated Tire Chains for a 2014 Kia Sorento with 235/65R17 Tires
  • The Glacier cable-style tire chains, # PW2016C, do fit the 235/65R17 tires on your 2014 Kia Sorento and they are Class S rated chains which will fit the requirements you specified. I have linked a video review of these cables for you. If you go with these cables I also recommend adjusters # PW105 to keep then tight and in place. What I recommend though is a set of actual chains because they are going to provide better traction and last longer than cables. For Class S rated chains that...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Kia Sorento To Carry Mobility Scooter
  • Your 2016 Kia Sorento turbo will have either a 5,000 lb towing capacity if it's an AWD model or a 3,500 lb towing capacity if it's FWD. So either you'll have a 500 lb tongue weight rating or a 350 lb tongue weight rating but you'll need to verify this in your owners manul. Then for a hitch with a similar tongue weight rating we have the Draw Tite # 75908 which has a 500 lb tongue weight rating. This hitch is the one I recommend over the similar Curt as it does not require a stabilizer...

  • Brake Control and Wiring for 7-Way on 2019 Kia Sorento Pulling Travel Trailer
  • For the wiring your 2019 Kia Sorento 3.3 L V6 FWD I always recommend doing it all at the same time. The Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat # C56256 plugs into your taillights but will require a constant power source be ran to the battery. It makes the most sense to run with all the wiring for the 7-way and brake controller so you have everything in the same place. The Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV # ETBC7 will give you the other wiring required...

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, Ball Mount, and Ball Recommendations for a 2011 Kia Sorento SX
  • According to Curt, Trailer Hitch, # C13073, will fit all models of the 2011 Kia Sorento. This would include the SX. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. According to Draw-Tite, the SX model has a 3 wire system and requires a converter so # C59496 would be the correct wiring harness. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view. The recommended ball mount is # AMSC2 and you can use pin and clip # PC3. For a ball, you can use # 19260...

  • What Is the Tongue Weight Capacity of a 2020 Kia Sorento V6
  • The maximum tongue weight capacity for a 2020 Kia Sorento V6 is 350 lbs. This is the figure provided in the owner's manual so that is the bottom line. The trailer hitch options for this vehicle do offer tongue weight capacities greater than 350 lbs but you will still need to abide by Kia's rating as that is all the vehicle is rated for. The trailer hitch is tested separately of the tow vehicle. For a trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75908 is what I...

  • Yakima Roof Rack that Fits 2019 Kia Sorento with Naked Roof
  • Yakima does have a JetStream roof rack confirmed as a fit for your 2019 Kia Sorento with a naked roof with the part numbers # Y00425, # Y28TR, # Y06159, # Y06170.

  • Will Taillight Kit be Required for the Pro Series Cargo Carrier 63153 When Used on 2012 Kia Sorento
  • That depends on the distance between the taillights of your 2012 Kia Sorento. The Cargo Carrier part # 63153 is 60 inches across. If your taillights are about that distance apart then they could be blocked by the bag part # 988501 so a taillight kit like part # 20174 would be a great option. This depends on how full you fill the cargo bag, but it is 24 inches tall. So when you consider that the carrier has a 2-1/2 inch rise built into the shank and the height of the bag you are looking...

  • Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2015 Toyota Highlander with Factory Crossbars
  • The Yakima MegaWarrior part # Y07080 that you referenced can fit crossbar spreads that are between 30 and 38 inches. According to Yakima the only cargo basket they offer that will fit is the Loadwarrior part # Y07070 which fits crossbar spreads between 24-32 inches. If you measure the distance between your crossbars and it would fit the range of the Megawarrior it would work well for you. Otherwise you would want to use the Loadwarrior.

  • Best Front Windshield Wipers for a 2011 Kia Sorento
  • Upgraded aftermarket wiper blades are almost always superior in performance compared to factory blades. I recommend the Rain-X blades # RX5079280-2 for the driver's side and # RX5079277-2 for the passenger's side. These are beam style blades that apply equal pressure along the blade to reduce or eliminate streaking. Michelin blades are similar in how pressure is applied but the blades are just natural rubber whereas the Rain-X blades are graphite-coated rubber.
