If your 2021 Kia Telluride is equipped with the Factory installed 7-way, it will be compatible with the Curt # C51180 Echo wireless brake controller.
You've touched on what makes the Echo such a good product. On a vehicle with a factory 7-way, it's a plug and play installation, as long as you have a smartphone with the Apple: 8.0 or newer or the Android: 4.4 or newer OS.
I've linked you to a product demonstration video that explains how the Curt Echo works. view full answer...
Kia Tellurides are in our install shop all the time for hitch and wiring installs since Kia typically will not install them at the factory. Manufacturers use "tow package" as a buzz word to charge you more typically so you'll want to get explicit descriptions of what is included with the vehicle. If it doesn't come with a trailer hitch then you can install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13420.
For wiring you would first need to install a 4-pole wire harness like the Curt Powered Tail... view full answer...
I have a couple of options for roof racks depending on whether or not your 2022 Kia Telluride has the flush mounted rails that run front to back.
If your Kia has the flush mounted rails that run front to back you will want the 2022 Kia Telluride Roof Rack by Rhino Rack. The Roof Rack Includes:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA137B-2
Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Flush Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RR94DY

I looked up the exterior dimensions of your Roofnest Sparrow and since the width of the tent is 50 inches and the bars you installed are wider than that you would be able to fit the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490008 that you mentioned. view full answer...
The correct Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2022 Kia Telluride is part # 391KIATELL20 or part # 391KIATELL20T for towing. These hitches are rated and tested using SAE J684 guidelines which means they are legal and safe to use on our roadways. The hitch is now a three-piece design, the old design is a one-piece. I have attached an install video I did for you below on a similar Palisade which shows the new design. view full answer...
I was able to reach out to my contact over at Rhino Rack and they informed me that you're going to need at least 36" of crossbar space in order to mount the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 48" Long x 38" Wide # RR42114BF. This Pioneer Platform will fit on your 2020 Kia Telluride's factory crossbars as long as you've got 36" of usable bar space.
This is the smallest Pioneer platform available, but if you need something to fit on less crossbar space... view full answer...
You will not need to install any other parts on your 2021 Kia Telluride besides the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160. The fuses and relays under the hood should have been installed by the factory as part of the kit. view full answer...
The Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet # TH28JQ you're referring to are going to work just fine with a 2023 Kia Sportage.
I did some poking around however, and it looks like this fit kit is not a fit for the 2022 Kia Telluride so I'm not quite sure how you're using it with your Telluride.
You were supposed to be using the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet # TH77JV. Either way, if you somehow were using the other fit kit... view full answer...
There is not a way to attach a sway bar tab to that ball mount, or a way to use a bike rack and weight distribution with an adapter. If your 2023 Kia Telluride has a roof rack you can use a roof-mounted rack like the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103. Alternatively you can use a trunk-mounted rack if you like, the Yakima FullBack # Y02634. view full answer...
Yes. The RhinoRack # RR43201B is designed to work with the Universal Pioneer Platform # RR42115BF, so there's not thing to worry about. This is a great way to add some "lips" around your Pioneer Platform to help keep everything from shifting off of the edges and provides you with some additional tie off points. These will fit on your Yakima crossbars, as well. view full answer...
I confirmed with Thule that the Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH895, along with other Thule carriers, will have no problem clamping onto the factory roof rack on your 2021 Kia Telluride. Another nice setup is the Thule Top Deck Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie Downs # TH881 which is a more economical option that you might consider.
The DockGrip is more adjustable and will be easier to use with various kayak sizes along with stand-up paddleboards since this... view full answer...
As of 3/11/23 the only wiring harness available for the 2023 Kia Telluride are universal options that have to be spliced. We do not have an ETA on when to expect a custom harness. So if you need a wiring harness now a universal fit is your only choice. The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C59236 is by far the best option. Curt makes some of the most reliable wiring harnesses in the towing business.

I checked with Thule and for their roof racks like the Jetstream part numbers # TH56FE, # TH89SC, and # TH77JV they state that some accessories may interfere with sunroof opening if installed on this rack which would mean that the sunroof would open but with any accessories installed you may not be able to.
Thule does not mention the sunroof at all so I would assume it's same as well as Rhino Rack. view full answer...
The Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 will fit any vehicle that has a 7-way plug with a power wire to the vehicle's battery and a good ground connection. It is not in the fit guide yet for the 2020 Kia Telluride (August 2019) but you will not have any issues using the Curt Echo brake controller with the Telluride as long as you have an active 7-way plug.
If you do not have a 7-way plug on the Telluride, you will need a 4-pole connector to start with part # CU94FR... view full answer...
Yes, you can fit 2 of the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 on your 2022 Kia Telluride. They use up 28-1/2" of crossbar space and weight in at about 40 lbs each so we definitely want to keep that in mind as we look into roof rack solutions. I recommend going with a Yakima JetStream roof rack system because it's the only system where the bars will be long enough to accommodate 2 of the Hullavators (not to mention it is a nice roof rack system).
The correct roof rack kit depends on if you have... view full answer...
Like you mentioned, there are two trailer hitches that fit your 2022 Kia Telluride, the Curt # C13420 and the etrailer # e95ZR, and between the two, the hitch with the best ground clearance as well as the best bumper clearance is the option from Curt:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13420
The Curt hitch will have a clearance from the ground to the top of the receiver of approximately 16 inches, while the same measurement for the etrailer will be approximately 15-1/2 inches. So there's... view full answer...
Let's start with the hitch for your 2023 Kia Telluride, and the correct fit is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e45ZR.
As for the wiring harness, there is not a plug-and-play option so you'll have to hardwire a 4-way in, the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. view full answer...
Yes the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 will work out very well for your factory 7-way trailer connector. It does not require any additional wiring to be installed in the vehicle which is one of it's biggest draws.

The 2021 Kia Tellurides all come with the factory tow package port that the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # CU94FR plugs into. It does not have to come equipped with the factory tow package per se. It's a direct plug-in fit for all models regardless of options. view full answer...
We can get your 2022 Kia Telluride set up with a Thule roof rack, and I verified for you that the correct parts that fit your vehicle are the following:
