I checked with Thule and they confirmed that the Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack you referenced that consists of the following parts as a fit:
Thule AeroBlade Load Bars # TH711420
Thule Rapid Traverse Roof-Rack Foot Pack # TH480R
Thule Roof Rack Fit Kit # THKIT1629
I would still recommend you check the owners manual of your vehicle to verify if there are any restrictions on roof racks and to determine the roof capacity and be sure not to exceed that figure. view full answer...
For a weight distribution with sway control for your 2021 Kia Telluride towing a trailer with 500 lbs tongue weight I'd recommend the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and has the best sway control at fighting to prevent sway before it starts.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286. view full answer...
I reached out to Swagman and my contact confirmed that the Swagman XTC-2 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64670 will work with a Class I trailer hitch receiver on your 2020 Kia Soul. She mentioned the reason they only show Class II on their website is to make sure customers are conscious to check the tongue weight rating of their vehicle and trailer hitch receiver to ensure they are not overloaded.
If you do not have a trailer hitch receiver for your 2020 Kia Soul yet I highly recommend the Draw-Tite... view full answer...
Kia recommends to not flat tow any of their models after 2015 because the electronic steering can cause a "death wobble". Instead of flat towing you can dolly tow your vehicles with the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame - 4,800 lbs - Wide Tread # DM9713093
This tow dolly will work for both your Kia and Fiat so you could take whichever one you wanted to with you instead of only being forced to choose only one option.

Air bags will definitely help provide suspension and clearance support but for your 2012 Kia Sorento there isn't a confirmed fitting air bag or air spring kit designed yet. What you can do is add coil spring helpers to your springs to enhance your suspension. To do this measure the middle distance on the middle coil of your rear axle springs while it is sitting on the ground so the weight on the car is on them and there you can find the correct fiiting Coil SumoSprings Helpers.

The best way to transport a kayak and 2 bikes with your 2018 Kia Optima is to use a hitch mount bike rack and then add a roof rack for carrying your kayak. You could potentially carry everything on your roof but the 165 lb max weight limit of a roof rack can easily be exceeded depending on what bikes and kayak you have.
The trailer hitch I recommend using is the Class I Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24965 because it doesn't require the use of a support strap for non-trailer loads like the Curt... view full answer...
The Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391CONVPT5L is an upgrade kit for a Stealth hitch that came only with the opening for a hitch accessory like a ball mount. So it looks like you have a 2020 Kia Telluride and that would mean you would want this kit if you had bought the # 391KIATELL20 which comes with just the accessory hitch opening accessory.
If what you really wanted was all of it together as one part number you'd just want the... view full answer...
If you are looking for a Class II hitch for your 2020 Kia Sorento SX Prestige X-Line, you will need the Draw-Tite # DT66MR. This is a Class II custom fit 1-1/4" hitch that is rated up to 3,500 pounds towing and 350 pounds of tongue weight. This looks to be the max capacity for your vehicle if it came equipped with front wheel drive. This will also require no drilling for the install and I included an install video for you to check out.
If you have a rear wheel drive vehicle though, you... view full answer...
For hauling cars with your 20-foot aluminum car trailer for loading cars up to 4,500 pounds, I recommend the Bulldog Winch Standard Series Off-Road Winch - 8,000 lbs # BDW10041. Not only has a rated line pull of 8,000 pounds (5,333 pounds for vehicle recovery), it also includes 100 feet of cable. This length will easily allow you to attach the winch in a strategic location in the trailer for pulling the vehicles. view full answer...
The Thule Wingbar Evo roof rack part numbers # TH711220, # TH710601, and # TH186033 and the Yakima racks like the Corebar part numbers # Y00425, # Y64AR, and # Y23CR install by attaching to the factory fixed mounting points that your roof rails have. view full answer...

I do have suggestions, and since you have already done a lot of the legwork here I think we can find the issue. Since you plugged your camper into another vehicle and it was working fine, and your 2017 Kia Sorento's test only came back as the electric brakes working, there are a couple of possible solutions.
Though you said nothing looks to be blocking any of the prongs, I recommend first just starting off by taking as close a look at the blades as possible for any type of corrosion, which... view full answer...
We have everything you'll need to tow with your 2019 Kia Sorento. What we offer will also cost much less than going with components from Kia as well.
Let's start with a hitch for towing the Karavan utility trailer you have. For that we have the very concealed EcoHitch aprt # 306-X7320 which looks the best since it's mostly hidden and has the best ground clearance, but it does cost the most. So for a better priced option that you'll find is a bit more visible but will still do the job great... view full answer...
The only ladder rack that will work with a hard fold tonneau cover on a 2020 Ford F-150 is the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # A4000964 for 5-1/2' beds or part # A4000946 for 6-1/2' beds. The reason that the Adarac Pro Series is the only option is because it 1) mounts inside the stake pockets which is needed to use a ladder rack and tonneau cover together and 2) it has vertical uprights so it won't get in the way of the panels when you go to fold them back on the tonneau... view full answer...
If your 2017 Kia Sorento SX has the factory tow package then you can use the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part # C56332 in order to power the trailer lights. The Kia Sorento did not come with a factory trailer connector to the best of my knowledge but could have come optioned with the factory tow package which I think is what you are referencing. The factory tow package means you have the wiring already pre-installed and just need the plug that attaches to... view full answer...
The correct block heater for a 2015 Kia Sorento is the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11812 for models with the I4 2.4L engine and part # KH11479 for models with the V6 3.3L engine. In regards to installation, I can only provide a general location to look in. I checked with Kat's and they recommend "2nd RR" for the I4 2.4L engine and "RR" for V6 3.3L engine.

I highly recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75908 for your 2018 Kia Sorento because it has a tab welded on so that the wiring harness looks very clean when installed.
For wiring I recommend using a Tekonsha option because it is the most reliable options we have. If you have the factory tow package use part # HM11143965 but if you don't have the factory tow package use part # 118583. You can then use the Mounting Bracket # 18144 to mount the 4-Way connector... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite QSP, part # 63080 is pretty effective but you could certainly use it in tandem with the # 63232 hitch lock/anti-rattle device. As far as the anti-rattle function, I'd say that the # 63232 would be much more effective than the QSP. If you used both together you'll get the anti-rattle function as well as the protection from the hitch cover from the QSP along with the ability to lock your hitch mounted accessories.
Because of the metal on metal friction caused by the draw bar... view full answer...
The hitch I recommend for your 2019 Kia Sorento is the 2-inch model # E98843 which I prefer over the Draw-Tite # 75908 because of its higher weight capacity and because it is USA-made. This model also has a nicer matte black powder coat finish that is more discrete in appearance than the glossy finish on the Draw-Tite.
All required mounting hardware comes with the hitch and you can see it installed on a Sorento in the photo I linked for you. I also linked the written instructions, a complete... view full answer...
We actually do have just what you need to both help align the hitch ball/coupler while attaching the trailer and monitor what is behind your trailer. For this, I highly recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System part # RVS-776614-213 with the Rear View Safety License Plate Bracket for Backup Camera part # RVS-401.
The Rear View Safety (RVS) Backup Camera System will come with everything you need to complete the above and it comes with quick disconnect fittings to make attaching... view full answer...
