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... view full answer...

The correct vehicle wiring harness for your 2022 Kia Carnival is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # CU94FR. This will plug into the factory connector on your vehicle and not require any splicing.

The only other components you will need is a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip... view full answer...
To add a 2" hitch to your 2023 Kia Carnival, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C67ER. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it will be compatible with your current bike rack.
Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness and a ball mount kit item # C45534. There are two options for wiring harnesses depending on whether or not your Carnival has the factory towing package. I have... view full answer...

Both the Curt # C67ER and etrailer # e36KR trailer hitches that fit your 2024 Kia Carnival will reduce your ground clearance since the crosstube will hang below your rear bumper. Since this is the case you'll want to enter and exit any steep driveways and such at an angle to give you the best clearance.
If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'll be more than happy to make some additional recommendations for you! view full answer...

Yes, you should be using a weight distribution hitch when you are towing with your 2022 Kia Carnival. Anytime you are towing a trailer that is over 50% of your vehicles weight you should use a weight distribution system. It looks like your Carnival weighs 4,376 to 4,727 lbs depending on the trim style. I have linked an article that will help you with understanding the function and needs of weight distribution systems.
I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway... view full answer...
You need the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches, part # RHK. When you order this item you will need to specify you have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # C67ER. We need the model number and the hitch manufacturer.

The absolute best trailer hitch for your 2024 Kia Carnival is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e36KR because of the matte black finish which looks better and does a better job at protecting the hitch from the elements.
Then if you don't already have a cargo carrier I recommend the 22x60 Flint Hill Goods Cargo Carrier # FHG49ZR because of the aluminum construction. I've carried a handful of cargo carriers around and the lightweight aluminum makes it so much easier, but this still has... view full answer...

Every vehicle is different from how the towers of crossbar systems install into the factory raised rails of vehicles. It is important to note that the usable part of the crossbars is from end to end as opposed to just the measurements inside the feet. No matter how the towers attach to the rails on your 2022 Kia Carnival, the crossbars on the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Steel # MPG201 will still measure 50 inches from end to end. However, we do carry the Malone SteelTop... view full answer...

The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC1555 will not fit the 235/55-19 tires on your 2022 Kia Carnival but as an alternative we have the pewag Servo RS # PWRSV80A.
If you're looking for something that is a bit more cost-effective then I recommend checking out the Titan Chain # TC1146. These have the D Links so they will do a good job at giving you traction, but they are in the ladder pattern which will be more noticeable than the diamond pattern of the chain mentioned above.

Since your 2023 Kia Carnival EX has a naked roof I recommend going with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars roof rack:
- 48" Crossbars # 298-SX6000B
- 60" Crossbars # SEA99FR
This system uses powerful vacuum cups to secure to the roof of your vehicle and provides you with round crossbars to install various accessories to. I'm not exactly sure what you're wanting to install on your vehicle so just make sure it is compatible with round crossbars and doesn't have any restrictions on how the roof... view full answer...
Yes, it does. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C67ER is confirmed to fit the 2023 Kia Carnival. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware.

Yes, you can use the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent # Y07437 on your 2023 Kia Carnival once you've installed a roof rack. I recommend the JetStream system from Yakima which includes the following parts:
- 60" JetStream Crossbars # Y00426
- TimberLine Towers # Y33TR
- Lock Core Kit # Y07204 (optional)
I like this roof rack kit because of the adjustability so you can get the crossbars at the best angle for your roof. view full answer...
Yes, there is but it won't be custom fit. I checked with all of our vendors and no one makes anything for the 2023 Kia Carnival's without roof rails. It's because the sliding doors make it difficult to use roof rack systems that use door jamb clips, which is how roof racks install without rails.
The only option available is to use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack item # SEA99FR. These 60" round crossbars attach to your roof using vacuum cups. They have a 150 lbs capacity so they'll... view full answer...
The bolts that come with the Curt hitch # C67ER are M12-1.25 which based on seeing your picture I would recommend using this size tap to clean out your threads and you'll be good. view full answer...
It looks like the 4th generation Kia Carnival started with the 2020 model year so I think it's safe to say the raised rails will be the same for the 2022 and 2023 model years like what you have.
So while we haven't officially test fit the Rhino-Rack roof rack on a 2023 Carnival you should have no issues fitting the 54" Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 and SX Series Legs # RRSX100 on your vehicle.
