• Recommended Trailer Hitch for Bike Rack and Towing for 2022 Kia Telluride
• For your 2022 Kia Telluride I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13420. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs which will be great for your bike rack and towing your trailer. It also has a concealed cross tube to help maintain the factory look. Since you will be towing your trailer, I also recommend the Curt # CU94FR. This wiring harness plugs into existing wiring and will give you a 4-way...

• Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Kia Telluride Using a Cargo Carrier
• The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # 391KIATELL20 you were looking at would be a great option if you do not want to see the hitch at all when you're not using your Yakima EXO system. It has been confirmed to fit the 2023 Kia Telluride and mounts to it with included hardware. The feature that really stands out about the Stealth Hitch item # 391KIATELL20 is it's concealability. The crosstube mounts completely behind the rear bumper cover and the 2" receiver easily detaches. If...

• Correct 4-Way Wiring Harness for 2024 Kia Telluride SX Prestige X-Line
• The correct wiring harness for your 2024 Kia Telluride SX Prestige X-Line is the Curt # C29ZV. This plugs into the connection points in your rear cargo area and is compatible with your LED lights. The # TK74CR is only designed to work with the LX and S which do not have LED lights. If you wanted to install a 7-way you would need to start by installing the Curt 4-way and then upgrading it with the # ETBC7. The adapter that comes with this kit has both a 4-way and 7-way plug.

• Availability of Replacement Rubber for Older Thule Gutter Feet
• The old gutter feet have been discontinued and there is no replacement rubber available. If you can't find an old replacement foot you might try adding on a piece of foam or similar material to keep it from scratching the vehicle. The new Rapid Gutter Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH33ZR won't fit your old square crossbars so replacing the feet with these is not an option. The common solution for replacement feet that are compatible with the old square bars is to use the ones made by Inno....

• 2023 Kia Telluride Unlevel After Installing the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs
• Hey Freddy, that's definitely an interesting situation you've got with the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL29PD so I did some poking around the internet, and it sounds like it could be a couple of things, but it should be easy enough to check for. Also, there aren't specific install instructions for the Telluride, all of the AirLift 1000 air bags have the same install process. So, the first thing that AirLift mentions you check is the air in the bags. If there...

• E-Track and Parts Needed For Securing Motorcycles In a Enclosed Trailer
• Yes, you can place the etrailer Horizontal E-Track # e25VR across your trailer from side to side. This will allow you to use the CargoSmart Motorcycle Wheel Chock # 3481731 making it easier and safer to secure your bikes in your trailer. Be sure to use the etrailer E-Track Backing Plates w/ Hardware # e46RR to secure each of the 5' tracks in place. Each of these kits includes 3 brackets for each track. I recommend using the Erickson E-Track Tie Down Rings # 59131 and Cam Tie-Downs # EM05729...

• Awning Options for an In-Bed Truck Camper
• Hey Nessa, great question! We do have some shorter arms with the kit # LC351829 which has 61-1/2" long arms in a black color, and then we have a variety of awning fabric lengths and colors to choose from (see attached link). We also have some alternative awning options like ones that work with windows or the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011 that mounts to a wall so it's a bit more universal than most other awnings.

• How Much Ground Clearance Is There With A Stealth Hitch 7-Way Connector On A 2021 Kia Telluride
• Hey Ryan, The edge of 7-way socket of the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391KIATELL20T is going to sit right at the edge of the rear fascia and with the 7-way plug slipping into it you'd be looking at roughly 3.5" - 4" sticking out below the fascia line when you include the bend from the cable. You can measure from the ground up to the fascia to determine the amount of clearance you have.

• Does The Curt Hitch C13420 Require The Rear Power Latch To Be Replaced On A 2023 Kia Telluride?
• Hey Thomas thanks for your question. The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13420 does not require the rear power latch to be replaced. We have done several installs on Telluride models 2020-2024 and a latch replacement has never been needed. I even double checked with Curt and they confirmed this. The latch replacement must be specific to the Kia OEM hitch and is likely something that would only be done at a dealership. I have linked our install video for a 2023 Telluride below if you want a closer...

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness And Brake Controller For A 2024 Telluride SX Prestige X-Line
• Hi Staci, The tow mode just affects how the drivetrain operates and disables rear proximity sensors since you'll be pulling a trailer behind you. For the wiring you'll need the Tekonsha OEM Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter # TK74CR you were already looking at. This will have connectors to plug inline with your factory tail light wiring, wiring to run to the battery for power, and wiring to run up to a brake controller. For the brake controller you'll want the Redarc...

• Does the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller Draw Power When the Vehicle is Off?
• Yes, it would. The Prodigy P3 Brake Controller item # 90195 is never really off it just goes into sleep mode. When in sleep mode it's drawing milliamps of power which would take your Kia sitting idle for months to drain your battery. I have the P2 item # 90885 installed in a truck that sits for weeks at a time outside in the cold during the winter and have never had a starting issue. If you are concerned it is really simple to unplug the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter item # TK78VR when...

• Will Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Fit 2024 Kia Telluride S FWD
• The # CSS-1125R are only confirmed to fit 4WD models of the 2024 Kia Telluride. There is probably a Coil SumoSpring kit that will work but you will need to measure to find out which one. Measure the gap between in the middle of the coil with your vehicle sitting on the ground. You also want to make sure it is sitting level so each side of the vehicle should be within 1/4" when measured. I have attached a picture below showing where to measure. If you can send me this measurement I can...

• Is The Curt 7-Way # C68JR Able To Handle More Power Than The Factory Harness on a 2022 Kia Telluride
• While I can not speak for the amount of power the OE harness on your 2022 Kia Telluride can handle I do know the Curt # C68JR is rated for 10amps per circuit on the Stop/Turn lights, running lights and reverse circuits. The Charge line is rated to 30amps and the trailer brakes circuit is rated up to 20 amps. Typically most aftermarket options are going to be built to handle more than a factory option.

• Recommended Hitch and Wiring for 2024 Kia Telluride EX Without Tow Package
• I'm not sure why they include that replacement latch but that is not required for any of the aftermarket hitches or wiring. It is probably something related to the installation of the OEM hitch. The etrailer # e45ZR you referenced is what I would recommend. This hitch has a bolt-on installation and a concealed cross tube for a nice clean look. It has a matte black finish and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Since you have the EX you will need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring...

• Do the K-Source Universal Mirrors Limit the Back Up Function on a 2021 Kia Telluride?
• Welcome back! It shouldn't but I have an easy way to test to see if you going to lose some of that function. You will want to see if your mirror sticks outside of the enclosure when the back up feature is activated and your mirror is pointed down. Installing the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors item # KS3990 gives you close to 100% range of motion with the adjustability of the factory mirrors but you will lose some if the mirror extends past the surrounding enclosure of your...
