We offer a replacement 4-pole flat trailer wiring harness for the 2015 Kia Sedona that has the factory tow package connectors. Curt harness # C56256 plugs in behind the underbody panel on the rear driver's-side corner as shown in the linked video. You will make two plug-in connections at this OEM wiring, install the supplied 10-amp fuse and mount the converter box using the included double-sided tape. This 4-pole trailer connector will then provide stop, turn and taillight signals to your trailer.

For a hitch I suggest the Curt # C13115 because it has the same 400-lb tongue weight capacity as the other hitches but costs less. An installation video for this hitch is linked for you along with the instructions and a helpful article with hitch installation tips. The required mounting hardware is included. You'll need mostly basic hand tools but a torque wrench like # ALL944001 will also be required to tighten all of the fasteners to the values shown in the instructions. The hitch installs without any drilling.

Towing will also require a ball mount with the correct amount of height rise or drop to keep your trailer level when hitched to your Sedona. The recommended ball mount for your car is part # C45230 but if you need a different amount of rise or drop just refer to the linked article for guidance in selecting a ball mount.

For a hitch ball use either 1-7/8-inch ball # C40051, 2-inch ball # 40038 or 2-5/16-inch ball # C40007. For a pin and clip to secure the ball mount use part # C21500, or if you want to be able to lock the ball mount to your hitch, part # e98879.

You'll also want to check your owner's manual to confirm the car's towing capacity before you pull any trailer.

Brake systems are not dependent on the hub bolt pattern. So you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA for 12 inch hub/drums or #AKEBRK-35-SA for 10 inch hub/drums. Then use #10-1-1 wire sold by the foot for your brake magnet wiring.…
