  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77NR will be the receiver which fits your 2023 Kia Niro hybrid. The Draw-Tite # DT79YR will not fit your Niro. The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236 will give you a 4-way flat connector. This is the common connector found on small trailers you may tow. It will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you use a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack which can impair the view of your tail lights.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2022 Kia Niro PHEV Plug In Hybrid

  • Can the Fit Kit for Thule Podium Style Feet be Used with an AeroBlade Edge Rack on a 2017 Kia Niro
  • I have a possible solution for you. First, though, the Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet, part # TH57JV, is a fit for your 2017 Kia Niro. However, it is not compatible with the AeroBlade Edge crossbars. The kit required for those is no longer available. The fit kit I mentioned above, part # TH57JV, will work with the Evo Flush Rail Feet, part # TH710601, and the 47 Inch WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711220. This will give you a complete roof rack with aero-style crossbars....

  • Trailer Hitch Option for 2021 Kia Niro PHEV
  • It will not, unfortunately the trailer hitches we offer for the 2021 Kia Niro aren't compatible with plug in hybrid electric vehicles A/K/A PHEV's as the structure at the rear of the vehicle is different enough that the hitch won't fit. If you were needing a hitch to carry bikes, I'd recommend a trunk mounted bike rack, like the Yakima FullBack 2-bike model, part # Y02634 or for a 3-bike model, use # Y02633. I've linked to a demonstration video for the Yakima FullBack trunk mounted bike...

  • Can the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier Straddle a Ridgeline Tower to Optimize Space
  • I called Yakima to confirm. Unfortunately, the JayLow Kayak Carrier, part # Y04073, will not fit around the Ridgeline Towers, part # Y00145. The inner portion can allow it to go over the tower, but there isn't enough space to secure it with the other bracket. It wouldn't be safe to attempt this. However, the JayLow can carry two kayaks, so you may be able to mount the carrier on the inside of the rack and carry both of your kayaks in that way. If you have three, you can measure the amount...

  • Is the Saris SuperClamp HD # SAR44VR a Good Bike Rack to Use with My Lectric 2.0 E-Bike with Fenders
  • I have a great alternative bike rack for your Lectric 2.0 XP 3-inch fat bike. Unfortunately, with your fenders and rear platform, I do not recommend the Saris SuperClamp HD 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SAR44VR because the wheel-mount ratcheting hooks will increase the risk of damage or cracking to your fenders during transport. With that being said, the safest way to transport your bike via a hitch is by a frame-mount attachment method. For a great alternative, I recommend the...
