Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Kia Optima to Carry Bike Rack
Question:
What’s the difference between the two hitches offered for the Optima? I’m using the hitch for a bike rack.

Expert Reply:
Between the Draw Tite hitch part # 24965 and the Curt # C11402 that fits your 2019 Kia Optima I would go with the Curt as it has a shorter and easier install, plus we generally find that Curt has tighter quality control and a tougher powder coat that holds up better to corrosion. This would be the way to go to carry a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z.
