Expert Answers about Kia Sedona


  • Does Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Fit 2018 Kia Sedona With Factory Roof Rack
  • I checked with Thule for you, and I can confirm that the Thule Motion XT rooftop cargo boxes are indeed a fit for your 2018 Kia Sedona with a factory roof rack (all models, including your EX). The only difference between this and the other Motion XT boxes is the storage space, and of course the size of the boxes as they need to be bigger to hold more cargo. So you can choose from whichever size Motion XT you like, as they all fit your '18 Sedona: - 22 Cubic Feet of Storage Space: Thule...

  • Trailer Tail Lights Stay on Regardless of Vehicle Lights
  • How did you repair the original problem? Did you just replace the fuse or did you look into what caused it to blow and fix that as well? It sounds like the original problem was that there was a short in the 12 volt power wire that runs from the converter box to the vehicle's battery. It now sounds like that wire is now shorting out to the running light circuit. If the running lights on the trailer stay on while the vehicle is off and the trailer is still plugged in, I would be willing to...

  • Compatibility of Solar Battery Generator with DC to DC Charger
  • The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D will work very well with solar panels, but I'm not sure how it would improve the charging that is already integrated into your solar power generator. The generator could be directly connected to your trailer battery. I don't have any knowledge of your battery generator or it's ability to maintain a trailer battery, so that may be a differentiating point. The BCDC kit is designed to...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Kia Sedona LX Long Wheel Base
  • What you can do is measure the wheel base of your 2007 Kia Sedona to determine if you need the long wheel base hitch, # C13345 or the short wheel base hitch, # 75551. The long wheel base is 119 inches. The short wheel base will be 113.8 inches. Measure from the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel. From what we have found, the LX and EX models are long wheel base models. They will also have a third row of seating. I still recommend measuring to be sure. For either...

  • Will a Saris Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2018 Kia Sedona
  • The Saris Bones trunk mount bike rack # SA805BL is not a fit for the 2018 Kia Sedona. But Saris does list the Guardian # SAR93FR for 2 bikes or # SAR43FR for 3 bikes as a fit for your van. It is recommended to either use Hatch Huggers # SA3035 in place of the lower straps OR to close the standard hooks inside of the rear hatch when mounting the bike rack. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then...

  • How to Choose the Correct Ball Mount for a 2017 Kia Sedona
  • In order to determine the correct amount of rise/drop you will need in a ball mount you will want to measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on your trailer while level then subtract this measurement from the ground to the top of the inside edge on the hitch for your 2017 Kia Sedona. I have attached a help article that will walk you through this process as well. When we installed the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75894 on a 2015/2016 Kia Sedona we found...

  • Hitch and Wiring Harness Fit on 2017 Kia Sedona LX
  • The easiest way to confirm exactly what factory equipment you have on your 2017 Kia Sedona LX is to ask your local dealership to simply run the car's VIN (vehicle identification number). This tells the dealership exactly what the factory installed on the car; if there were any dealer-installed items the dealer will know this too. The presence of a towing package does not affect the hitch fit on your Sedona. The hitch I suggest is the Draw-Tite 2-inch # 75894 which bolts on using included...

  • What Weight Distribution System Will Work On a 2006 Kia Sedona Towing A 1967 Rolite Power Camper
  • The Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch, # RP66073, has a tongue weight capacity of between 400 lbs. and 800 lbs. so it is at the upper end of the weight that you will be carrying. The drawback to this is that it may produce a slightly stiffer ride than a system that is rated for something like 200 lbs. to 600 lbs. For your 2006 Kia Sedona towing a 3,000 lbs. camper I would recommend the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch, # RP66072, which has a 200 lbs. to 600 lbs. tongue...

  • Recommended Cargo Bag, Box, and Roof Rack for a 2012 Kia Sedona
  • The only time that a vehicle would need crossbars to carry a cargo bag on the roof is if the vehicle has a sun or moon roof that will be supporting a good portion of the weight. If that is not the case then there are options to carry a bag. For a cargo box, however, you will need crossbars as that is how the box is secured. I have attached a link to our selection of cargo bags that are compatible with a naked roof (without crossbars) for you to look through. You will want to measure the...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for a 2009 Kia Sedona
  • I do have a set of towing mirrors that may work with your 2009 Kia Sedona but the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11400 will not as they are designed to work with a Dodge Ram. For a set of towing mirrors that may work for you, I recommend using the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror part # KS3891. As long as your factory side mirrors are between 4-1/2" to 11-1/2" tall and have an outer lip around the edge of the mirror, they will work well for you. You will need one mirror for each side...

  • How to Determine if Swagman RV 4-Bike RV Bumper Fits
  • Possibly, but I am unable to confirm a fitment from a photo so you really do have to measure to see if you can use the Swagman RV 4-Bike RV Bumper Mount Rack # S80600. The # S80600 will fit your bumper so long as it measures between 4 and 4-1/2 inches wide, and you have 1-1/2 inches between the back of the bumper and the rear wall of the trailer, as well as 1-1/2 inches from the top of the bumper to any part of the trailer.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2019 Kia Sedona
  • Since you are specifically addressing rear sag I recommend just getting the rear Sumosprings item # CSS-1168R for your 2019 Kia Sedona. These insert inside your rear coil springs to keep them from flexing all the way. This limits the travel on your suspension which keeps the rear end pushed up when under a heavy load. The Coil SumoSprings item # CSS-1168R will not increase the ride height of your Sedona. They will help to reduce body roll and keep your rear end level when towing your...

  • Trailer Hitch Options for a 2003 Kia Sedona
  • There are a few trailer hitch options for the 2003 Kia Sedona, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13340 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75131 which both have the larger receiver tube opening. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver because there is no drilling required as there would be for the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver. Unfortunately, there are not any more cost effective options available. Please note, trailer hitches are specific...

  • Recommended Curt Hitch for a 2007 Kia Sedona With a Short Wheel Base
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Class III Hitch # 75551 is indeed designed to be used with the short wheel base on the 2007 Kia Sedona. If this will be used for towing at some point, I highly suggest going with the Tekonsha Wiring Harness # 118410. This is a custom fit harness that will be mostly plug and play, but you would need to run one wire up to the battery to get the needed power to everything. The 4 Flat plug will fit most small trailers that do not utilize electric brakes.

  • Locking Knob that has M8 1.25 Thread Pitch
  • We have the Thule Replacement Anti-Rattle Knob part # 753-0073 which fits the M8 1.25 thread size/pitch. Then to install a lock core you'd need the part # 1500004217 with the change key # 853-1251.

  • How Can I Tell If 2009 Kia Sedona Is Short Or Long Wheel Base And What Hitch To Use
  • On the 2009 Kia Sedona, the long wheelbase has the third row seating that will fold into the floor. The short wheelbase does not have that feature. The Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13345, is for the long wheelbase Kia Sedona. It is a bolt-on application with no drilling required. If you have the short wheelbase Kia Sedona then you will use the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75551. The installation on this hitch does require removal of the tie-down hook and there is a access hole on the passengers...

  • Will the SportRack Vista Cargo Box Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a Kia Sedona
  • The SportRack Vista cargo box, # SR7018, is designed to fit crossbars no wider than 4 inches and with a center to center distance between the bars of 23-5/8 to 34 inches. You will need to measure the crossbars on your Kia Sedona to determine if they are within these measurements. I have linked the instructions and a video review for you.
