• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 Kia Sorento
  Yes, to mount the Thule Hitching Post Pro, # TH934XTR to your 2019 Kia Sorento, you need the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver, # e98843. This is a Class III bolt-on hitch with a 2"x2" receiver. It comes with all needed hardware and I even have an installation video linked of this being installed on a 2019 Kia Sorento to help you with the process. My suggestion is go ahead and add the trailer wiring at the same time too, in case you need/want to tow a trailer. Use the Hopkins Plug-In...

• Does Installation of etrailer Brand e98843 Hitch Require Modifying 2020 Kia Sorento
  Although the etrailer brand # e98841 Class III hitch you'd looked at isn't a fit for the 2020 Kia Sorento, we do offer a Class III fit, part # e98843. As you can see in the linked install video which shows the # e98843 hitch being installed on a 2020 Sorento, we didn't need to do any trimming or modification to the bumper. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # HM11143965 if the vehicle is equipped with the factory tow package...

• How to Determine if 2015 Kia Sorento LX V6 Has Tow Package
  The easiest way would be to call your dealer's service department and have them run the VIN of your vehicle. They should be able to tell you exactly how your vehicle was equipped. You could also locate the tow plug connector, which is on top of the frame member at the passenger side rear. Remove the protective cap, and use a circuit tester like # 40376 to as each tail light circuit is activated to see if the connector is active. If it is, you have the tow package, if not you do not.

• Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2011 Kia Sorento
  Brake controllers are not vehicle specific so you can install any controller you want on your 2011 Kia Sorento. For your vehicle it is a hardwire situation and you will need a few parts for the installation. First, if the vehicle does not have a 4-Way trailer connector, you will need to add one using # 118506 if you have a 4 cylinder or other model WITHOUT the towing prep package. If you do have the towing prep package, use # HM11143965. I have linked instructions for both harnesses for...

• Recommended 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Kia Sedona
  Installation of a trailer wiring harness like Curt # C56332 certainly should not have caused battery discharge in your 2015 Kia Sedona but we have seen this issue on occasion. The powered converter in this part does draw 12V power directly from the battery to power the trailer lights but in normal circumstances is should not be enough to discharge your battery. The low-level voltage reading you found at the 4-pole connector is normal but there could be an internal short that is draining...

• How to Mount a Tent with a 2017 Kia Sorento with a Bare Roof
  Since the kit that involves parts # Y00421, # Y28TR, and # Y06159 in your question, I assume you have a 2017 Kia Sorento with a bare roof and no factory rails. If this is the case, while we do have a solution you can use, you unfortunately cannot mount a roof top tent to your roof. This is because all of the roof racks we carry use door jamb clamps to mount the crossbars to your vehicle. Manufacturers strongly advise against using roof racks that use this attachment style because the clips...

• Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2017 Kia Sorento
  Since there were little to no changes between the 2016 and 2017 Kia Sorento the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75908 is going to fit and work well. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # HM11143965 which I attached an install video for as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2015 Kia Sorento 4 Cylinder
  The trailer wiring kit part # C56496 is the correct wiring kit for your 2015 Kia Sorento with a 4 cylinder engine. The 6 cylinder engine models with the tow package can use the custom fit kit part # HM11143965 instead. The correct hitch would be the Curt Hitch part # C13152. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

• Will Spare Fit With Trailer Hitch Receiver Installed on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0t Ultimate
  Both the Draw-Tite # 75772 and Curt # C13152 trailer hitch receivers for your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport require the spare tire to be temporarily removed for installation. Once installed the hitches fit with the spare tire. If you look at the videos I've attached the spare tire is put back in place and that is the 2017 Sport 2.0t Ultimate like yours. Between the two hitches I recommend the Curt because of the higher weight capacity. If you're going to be towing with your Hyundai you...

It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount...

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe and Tandem Axle Boat Trailer Brakes
  For your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 which will give you the ability to control the braking on your tandem axle boat trailer. This controller is proportional so it will apply the brakes on your trailer at the same time and with the same intensity as you hit the brake pedal in your Santa Fe. It has a nice LCD screen with preset brake options to make it really easy to use. This will work well with electric trailer brakes or...

• Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2014 Kia Sorento EX
  At this time there are no brake controller wiring harnesses for the 2014 Kia Sorento. To install a brake controller you would need to hardwire it in. If you can tell me if the vehicle has a factory 7-Way, aftermarket 7-Way or 4-Way, or no trailer connector, I can explain exactly what you will need and how to install the controller. If it has a factory 7-Way you will just need installation kit # 5506 for trailers with 6 to 8 brakes. You will attach the included circuit breaker under the...

• Best Class III Trailer Hitch for 2019 Kia Sorento LX with V6 Engine
  For your 2019 Kia Sorento LX with the V6 engine, I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98843 because it offers a 5,000 lb towing capacity and a tongue weight rating of 750 lbs. The matte black finish on the etrailer hitch is a nice touch that sets it apart from its competitors. Since you'll just be using the hitch to move your daughter to college, it won't play a huge part for now, however, the higher tongue weight capacity will allow you to use the hitch for a wide variety...

• Can I Weld The Draw-Tite Hitch for The 2016 Kia Sorento and Increase the Tongue Weight Capacity
  The Draw-Tite custom fit hitch part # 75908 for the 2016 Kia Sorento max tongue weight capacity is up to 500 lbs. The tongue weight rating does not change if you weld the hitch to the vehicle's frame. The hitch may be rated up to 5,000 lbs gross towing weight but the Kia Sorento is not rated for that much weight. I researched the owner's manual for the Kia and it depends on the engine and if the vehicle was equipped with a towing package as to how much tongue weight it can handle. The...

• Troubleshooting Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness HM11143965 for 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe
  You will want to start off by making sure that the fuse under the hood on your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe is still okay. It is a 30 Amp fuse that is on the bottom left section of the fuse panel that is under your hood. You can find the exact location labeled TRAILER in the picture of the fuse panel that I found online. Since you have already tested the 4-Pole connector at the end of the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness # HM11143965 and you are not receiving any signals what I recommend...

• Will Curt Class III C13195 Hitch Interfere With Spare Tire on 2020 Kia Sorento
  It sure can. You might need to push the spare a couple of inches toward the front of the vehicle as it's lowered or raised to clear the hitch, but you'll have no problem whatsoever using the spare if need be. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # HM11143965 if your Sorento has the factory tow package or # 118583 if it does NOT have the tow package. For a ball mount, use # 2753 and # 19260 for a1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer...

• Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2016 Kia Sedona
  We certainly can help you set up trailer wiring on your 2016 Kia Sedona that will allow you to use your trailer brakes and battery charge wire, but you do have to start with a 4-way like the # HM11143965 that you referenced. Not all vehicles are wired for trailer brakes. Especially ones that weren't made with towing as a primary concern like your 2016 Kia Sedona. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want...

• Best Fit Trailer Hitch Recommended for 2017 Kia Sorento
  The EcoHitch # 306-X7320 is a good fit for your 2017 Kia Sorento. This is a concealed style hitch, which means that once the hitch is installed, all but the receiver tube and safety chain hoops will be concealed behind the bumper. In my opinion, this hitch has the cleanest appearance once installed. Is there a better alternative? If you're willing to pay the price premium for a concealed style hitch, then the EcoHitch would be the way to go. However, if price is a consideration the Curt...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Running Lights Circuit Showing 8 Volts on 2015 Kia Sorento
  Sounds like a short on the trailer's running light circuit has damaged the converter box of the harness and now it would need to be replaced as it shouldn't ever have 8 volts on that circuit. If you have a 4 cylinder model you'd need the part # 118583 or part # HM11143965 which fits the V6 models. You might check to make sure the trailer does not have any obvious shorts like cut or exposed wire and fix as needed.
