  • What Is The Difference Between The Curt # C77NR And # C37BR Trailer Hitch Receivers
  • Although both the Curt # C77NR and # C37BR both look to be identical there is a small difference in the # C77NR that allows it to be compatible with 2022 and 2023 Kia Niro models, whereas the # C37BR is only compatible with 2022 models.

  • Can A Hitch Be Installed On A Kia Soul With A Center Exhaust
  • Hi Donna, A center mounted exhaust is going to most likely prevent you from installing a hitch on your Kia Soul. If you can provide me with the year of your Kia Soul I'd be happy to check if there is a compatible option out there, otherwise you'd have to rework the exhaust or haul your accessories using a roof rack.

  • How Much Ground Clearance Is There With A Stealth Hitch 7-Way Connector On A 2021 Kia Telluride
  • Hey Ryan, The edge of 7-way socket of the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391KIATELL20T is going to sit right at the edge of the rear fascia and with the 7-way plug slipping into it you'd be looking at roughly 3.5" - 4" sticking out below the fascia line when you include the bend from the cable. You can measure from the ground up to the fascia to determine the amount of clearance you have.

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring for 2024 Kia Telluride EX Without Tow Package
  • I'm not sure why they include that replacement latch but that is not required for any of the aftermarket hitches or wiring. It is probably something related to the installation of the OEM hitch. The etrailer # e45ZR you referenced is what I would recommend. This hitch has a bolt-on installation and a concealed cross tube for a nice clean look. It has a matte black finish and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Since you have the EX you will need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring...

  • Will Any Load Stops Work With the OEM Crossbars on a 2020 Kia Sorrento
  • It's not likely Andrew, since load stops like the Replacement Load Stops for Thule Aeroblade Load Bars, Ladder Racks, and Thule TracRac CapRac # 753-3761 are only going to work with certain Thule crossbars. I wasn't able to find out who makes the OEM crossbars for your Sorrento so you'd need to figure that out first. Once you find out what bars you have, let us know and we'd be happy to help.

  • Hey David, so I attached a link to all of the submersible lights we offer that have white and red lenses as that would cover everything you mentioned. For a surface mount we have the part # STL211XRFHB or part # OPT37FR or for something that is recessed we have the part # STL211RB.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing With a 2015 Kia Cadenza
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12118 on your 2015 Kia Cadenza. This hitch has a tongue weight rating of 350lbs and 3,500lb trailer rating. You will want to ensure that you do not exceed the weight ratings given by the manufacturer for your vehicle. This will not require you to change your rear shocks. If your suspension is sagging you should check that the weight on the trailer is distributed properly across the trailer and you do not have to much tongue weight. You typically...

  • Trailer Hitch And Wiring Harness For 2024 Kia Sportage For 12' Aluma Trailer
  • Hey Gary, I can definitely help set you up with a trailer hitch and wiring harness for your 2024 Kia Sportage. I recommend the following: - etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e38KR - Curt T-Connector # C99DR The hitch has a 3,500 lb towing capacity which should be plenty for a 12' aluminum trailer. It will be a very easy bolt-on install. The wiring harness is your standard 4-flat t-connector. You will also need a ball mount such as part # C45554, if you don't have one already. This includes...

  • Will a 2018 Kia Niro Trailer Hitch Fit a 2024 Kia Niro
  • Hey Gregg, thanks for reaching out! Your 2018 and 2024 Kia Niro models are from 2 different generations so the hitch fitment is different for them. The hitch I recommend for your 2024 model is the Curt Class III # C77NR because it has a 2" receiver for more versatility. If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be happy to make additional recommendations! Attached is an installation video and a photo of the complete install for you to check out.

  • Do the K-Source Universal Mirrors Limit the Back Up Function on a 2021 Kia Telluride?
  • Welcome back! It shouldn't but I have an easy way to test to see if you going to lose some of that function. You will want to see if your mirror sticks outside of the enclosure when the back up feature is activated and your mirror is pointed down. Installing the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors item # KS3990 gives you close to 100% range of motion with the adjustability of the factory mirrors but you will lose some if the mirror extends past the surrounding enclosure of your...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2023 and 2024 Kia Niro PHEV
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77NR will fit the 2023 and 2024 Kia Niro PHEV. Gas models require lowering the emissions canister so the hitch can fit. We have only had the one instance where someone felt the need to completely remove it, but they reinstalled it after. Complete removal is not necessary. It looks like the PHEV does use some gasoline so I would expect to have to lower the canister during installation.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2023 Kia Sorento

  • Can Thule Hull-A-Port and Compass Kayak Carriers Be Fitted to a 2012 Kia Sedona
  • Hey Juan, thanks for reaching out! You can definitely get 3 kayaks on top of your 2012 Kia Sedona but we'll have to install an aftermarket roof rack as the OEM Sedona roof rack won't be wide enough to accommodate everything. Here are the parts I recommend using: - Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 - Thule Compass # TH890000 - 58" Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL84AR The Malone AirFlow2 is a great way to add more real estate above your vehicle so you can get all 3 kayaks to fit on top.

  • 2023 Kia Telluride Unlevel After Installing the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs
  • Hey Freddy, that's definitely an interesting situation you've got with the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL29PD so I did some poking around the internet, and it sounds like it could be a couple of things, but it should be easy enough to check for. Also, there aren't specific install instructions for the Telluride, all of the AirLift 1000 air bags have the same install process. So, the first thing that AirLift mentions you check is the air in the bags. If there...

It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs which will be great for your bike rack and towing your trailer. It also has a concealed cross tube to help maintain the factory look. Since you will be towing your trailer, I also recommend the Curt # CU94FR. This wiring harness plugs into existing wiring and will give you a 4-way...

  • 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • Thanks for reaching out, George! Both the Curt # C34ER and the etrailer # e28AR trailer hitches will fit your 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid but out of both options I recommend using the etrailer version because it has a matte black finish that not only looks better, but it also does a better job at hiding any scratches or dings that are bound to happen from road debris. Attached is an installation video of the etrailer hitch installed on a 2023 Sorento as well as a photo of the finish product...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2024 Kia Niro Hybrid
  • Hey Cory, According to the manufacturer the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C36ZV would be a confirmed fit for all models of the Kia Niro from 2023 to 2024 so this should be a fit. I don't know what harness you purchased previously but this one is designed to connected directly in line with your factory tail light wiring. We haven't had a 2024 Hybrid model in to test ourselves so with both Curt and us having it as a fit you can just go ahead and get it and test it out. If it's...
