Question

Question:

I just got a 2024 Kia Telluride. It does not have the towing package so I need a hitch and wiring harness. What's the best hitch for my Kia?

Congrats on the new vehicle! The best hitch for your 2024 Kia Telluride is the etrailer item # e45ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight.

The etrailer item # e45ZR is the best hitch because the main crosstube mounts completely behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance. The matte finish also blends in better with your Telluride's trim unlike the glossy finish on the Curt item # C13420.

I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video to help you get this hitch set up and show you what it looks like once installed.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C93FV if you do not have LED tail lights or item # C59236 if you do and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

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.…
