  • Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Kia Sportage SX
  • We do offer several hitches that are confirmed as a fit for your 2011 Kia Sportage SX. I have provided a link to the options that we currently carry for your reference. Of the hitch options I recommend a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver that offers greater flexibility with towing and cargo options. If you will be using this hitch for towing I recommend # 75717. This hitch has a maxium gross trailer weight rating of up to 5,250 pounds, and a tongue weight rating of 525 pounds. If...

  • What Color is the K-Source OEM Replacement Mirror for 2012 Kia Optima
  • I may have a solution for you, but I was able to check with K-Source and the # KS75551K does not come completely in silver; however, if you check out the photo that I've attached to this, you can see that the back side of this mirror is silver and might give you the look you're seeking. This is an OEM replacement mirror that will retain the factory functions (heated, power, etc.). If you also need the driver's side mirror, that is available with part # KS75552K. I've linked a review video,...

  • Kia Sportage & 4 Bikes or Cargo Carrier
  • Hello, Thanks for the question, I forwarded an email to you earlier about your original question but that may have been after you sent this. Yes, the trailer hitch I suggested, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13120, will work with either a cargo carrier or a bike rack but you can not use both at the same time. However, if you are considering a bike rack too, then I suggest you look at the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier # HR1450Z-85. As stated previously,...

We do have the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK65VR which will attach to the tail lights on your Kia to give you a 4-way flat connector.

  • Class I Hitch and Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2013 Kia Soul
  • Both of the hitches offered for your 2013 Kia Soul are light-duty Class I types, Draw-Tite # 24839 and Curt # C11110. No hitch maker offers a higher-capacity hitch since the vehicle itself cannot support more tongue weight than their 200-lb rating, or their towing capacity of 2000-lbs. I do realize you have no intention of towing a trailer, just using a hitch-mounted cargo carrier, but even so the vehicle capacity remains what it is even if you were to bolt on an accessory that is rated...

  • Is There a Plastic SmartPlug RV TV/Internet Inlet with 2 Coax Ports
  • We do not have an extra/replacement coax port for the SmartPlug RV TV/Internet Inlet # SM88VR, nor do we have a plastic version with 2 coax ports. However, if you already have the SmartPlug RV TV/Internet Inlet # SM58FR, you can remove one of the coax ports and switch it to the plastic SmartPlug. I will also say that the SmartPlug RV TV/Internet Inlet # SM58FR only weighs just over a pound, so it would not be too heavy for an RV sidewall.

  • Trailer Hitch-Mounted Kayak and Bike Carrier for Use on 2014 Kia Optima
  • We do offer several brands of light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I trailer hitches for your 2014 Kia Optima and all can be seen on the link at right, including the Draw-Tite # 24965. This is the hitch I suggest since it does not require use of a stabilizing strap as some others do. A class I hitch has a tongue weight (downward force) limit of 200-lbs and this translates to it being suitable for use only with 2-bike Class I hitch-mount bike racks. The 2-bike limit applies even if you have a compatible...

  • Wiring Harness For a 2022 Kia Telluride That Does Not Have Factory Tow Package
  • If your 2022 Kia Telluride does not have any of the wiring for adding a tow package you will need the Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496 to tie into the tail light wiring for a 4-way flat trailer connector. Be sure to check your Telluride as even if it did not include a factory tow package it is likely that the wiring for a Curt 7-Way # C68JR is still on your Telluride. The connector is located behind the drivers side rear wheel under the lower...

  • Carrying Bikes on a 2020 Kia Niro EV
  • While there are several options available for the 2020 Kia Niro, the EV model of this year/make does not support the attachment of a hitch. May I suggest consideration of a trunk mount style bike rack, such as the Yakima FullBack 3 bike rack, # Y02633 or the 2 bike model # Y02634. The FullBack models have adjustable arms helping to keep bikes level during transport and the interlocking HUB lets you adjust fit to different vehicles. There is a wide assortment of roof rack options available...

  • Is a 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver Available for a 2012 Kia Optima
  • The 2013 Kia Optima can be fitted only with a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch, which is capable of handling the weight of 2 bikes maximum. Please see the linked page. A Class II-rated bike rack will not fit into a Class I hitch. Although the receivers are both 1-1/4-inch in size the Class I hitches are designed to prevent installation of a rack with more capacity than the hitch can handle. A 2-inch hitch will be at least a Class III hitch. The linked articles will give you more on...

  • We carry several brands of roof rack that will work well on your 2012 Nissan Cube. The racks vary from a base line model to a top of the line roof rack system. Our base line model that is confirmed to fit your vehicle is the Inno Square Bar Roof Rack System, # INB147 Square Crossbars, # INSUT Feet for Inno Square Crossbars, and # INK370 Custom Fit Kit.

  • Is There a Suspension Enhancement for the 2012 Kia Sorento LX
  • I may have a solution for you, but the AirLift 1000 # AL61730 are not a confirmed fit on the 2012 Kia Sorento and there are not any suspension enhancements available for your vehicle. Additionally, these types of systems don't work to "lift" your vehicle and much as they reduce the sag when you connect a trailer; the good news is that there are other ways you can help fight off the sag you might be getting when towing. I recommend using a weight distribution hitch, which is designed to...

  • Aftermarket Roof Rack for 2017 Kia Sportage with Factory-Installed Flush Side Rails
  • The linked page displays all aftermarket roof rack options for the 2017 Kia Sportage that has factory-installed flush side rails on the roof. Among the options the best value in my opinion comes from the Rhino-Rack Vortex system. We offer this with parts # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX023. The rack's elliptical bars will generate less noise than round or square bars.

  • Questions on Hughes Autoformers AC Digital Voltmeter & Surge Protector
  • The Hughes Autoformers AC Digital Voltmeter, # HU28FR that you linked to is for measuring voltage at an operating range between 108 to 132 volts. This is irrelevant of the amperage supply from the pedestal. If I understand correctly that you are wanting to monitor amps being supplied to your RV, I suggest a surge protector. From Hughes, we have the Power Watchdog Surge Protector, # HU97FR for 30 amp and # HU47FR for 50 amp. The 30-Amp or 50-Amp surge protector offers 6,100 joules of...

  • Receiver Hitch Options for the 2012 Kia Rio 5
  • We have several hitches that are available for your 2012 Kia Rio 5, but all are a Class I hitch that offer a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. There is not a 2 inch option available for this vehicle. I have included a link to the hitches for your vehicle, and you can select from the Vehicle Style drop down menu for your specific Rio 5. Please note that Class I hitches are the lowest rated hitches that are available for vehicles, you will want to check with your owners manual or with your...
