  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way for Towing Tear Trailer With 2018 Kia Sportage
  • To add a 7-Way to your 2018 Kia Sportage you'll need to start off with a 4-Way flat which carries the basic trailer light functions. For that I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118698 simply because we have found the T-One harnesses to be the best. This tees in behind your tail lights and then draws power straight from your battery to power the trailer lights. The next step is to add the 7-Way wiring to the 4-Way flat. The kit you need for this will depend on what type of brake controller...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Vs etrailer Hitch For A 2023 Kia Carnival
  • Out of the two hitches I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e36KR. Though both hitches are very similar I like the etrailer hitch over the Curt hitch because the etrailer hitch has a matte black powder coated finish which hides scratches and scuffs better then the Curt does because of the type of paint that is coated on the hitch. The Curt hitch has a gloss black powder coating that makes the scratches and scuffs more visible that you would getting from flying rocks and road...

  • Trailer Connector and Mounting Bracket Recommendation for 2021 Kia Sorento
  • I'd recommend going with a circuit-protected powered taillight converter like # C59496. The safest way to handle the trailer connector is actually to leave it stowed in the cargo area of the vehicle so it's protected from damage and exposure to the elements. When it's needed, simply run the connector out of the cargo area and over the bumper. If you keep the wire away from the latch, the weather-stripping on the hatch will provide plenty of cushion for the wires, they will not be damaged....

  • Hitch Extension for 1-1/4 Inch Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on 2011 Kia Soul
  • By square stock I believe you are referring to a hitch extender. There is an extension for the Draw-Tite # 24839 hitch that fits your 2011 Kia Soul, but it is not 24 inches. The longest we carry for a 1-1/4 inch hitch is the 10 inch Brophy Hitch Extender # HES0. Please keep in mind that extenders such as this one will reduce your hitch capacity by half, so using one will reduce the Draw-Tite's tongue weight capacity to 100 lbs. I've added links to video reviews of both the hitch and extender...
