To add a Yakima roof rack to your wife's 2023 Kia Seltos raised roof rails you will want the following parts:
Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00425
SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 item # Y64AR
SightClip Fit Kit for Yakima SightLine Roof Rack Towers item # Y56AR
This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. I recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204 to prevent theft. Since you're a fan... view full answer...
It really depends on how much of the bolt hole and bolt were stripped during the install of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11419, but to be on the safe side, you will likely want to use another M10 x 1.25 bolt.
And if the weldnut was stripped at all, I highly recommend using a tap, the 10 mm x 1.5 Tap # PTW8619.
We just want to make sure you can safely install the hitch, and the bolts will catch, allowing you the proper torque. view full answer...
I had our warehouse measure the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13345 you were looking at and it measures 52-1/2" wide as you can see in the included diagram.
I included a video of this hitch being installed for you to take a look at. view full answer...
I linked an installation video below for the etrailer Hitch item # e98841. Around the 7:45 mark it will go over the process to clear out any rust. If these are the steps you have taken you may need to have the threads retapped. You can use the Tap Wrench Kit for Standard Pipe Sizes item # PT22FR to clear out the threads for the M10 bolts. view full answer...
Your best option to match the roof rack will be the Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier # GRR6B. This is a very sleek and low profile option.
In terms of height added, the REX Crossbars are about 3-1/2 inches tall when installed, and the carrier is 4-1/2 inches tall, so you'll be at about 8 inches added to the roof of your vehicle. I would verify your heights post installation just to be safe. view full answer...
The TorkLift PowerArmor Locking Battery Box - 6V and 12V Batteries part # TLA7712R is 8 1/4" wide and 23 15/16" long. I have included a photo with dimension lines on it for you to check out. view full answer...
The distance from the hitch pin of the Flint Hill Goods cargo carrier # FHG49ZR to the nearest edge of the carrier is 8-1/2 inches. The distance from hitch pin hole to outside edge of the carrier is 30-1/2 inches. The inside dimensions are 58-3/16 inches by 20-1/2 inches and 6 inches tall. view full answer...
Yes, you can certainly carry two E-bikes on the back of your 2020 Kia Sportage. I recommend installing the etrailer class 3 hitch # e89YR. This hitch has a 525 lb tongue weight capacity so more than enough for 2 heavy bikes and a bike rack. The hitch has a durable matte black powder coat, however it will be mostly hidden behind the bumper.
If you are in the market for a bike rack also, I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B. This is made for heavier bikes and can carry 2 bikes weighing... view full answer...
Yes, there is but it won't be custom fit. I checked with all of our vendors and no one makes anything for the 2023 Kia Carnival's without roof rails. It's because the sliding doors make it difficult to use roof rack systems that use door jamb clips, which is how roof racks install without rails.
The only option available is to use the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack item # SEA99FR. These 60" round crossbars attach to your roof using vacuum cups. They have a 150 lbs capacity so they'll... view full answer...
As far as the tongue weight capacity on hitches, every hitch has a specific rating. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13281, for example, has a maximum tongue weight of 525 pounds while the etrailer Hitch Receiver # e72TR has a maximum tongue weight of 675 pounds.
In addition, we need to consider the weight capacity of the motorcycle carrier itself. If you were looking at the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp # UF48-979033, that has a... view full answer...
Thank you for pointing out that discrepancy. The Yakima SkyBox NX 16, part # Y95AV, does have a crossbar spread of 24" - 36". I will have this updated immediately.
As for your crossbars, the distance used is the center to center. As such, this cargo box will work with your RVP rack.
I've linked to a video review of the SkyBox below. view full answer...
I have a solution for you but the item # C68JR does not fit a 2020 Kia Sorento. The connectors are different and won't match up. Instead you will want the OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness item # TK24FR if you have the factory tow package.
If you do not have the factory tow package you are going to have to use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13152 has a tow and tongue weight rating that is tested independently of the vehicle. The towing capacity of your vehicle is 3,500 lbs and tongue weight of 350 lbs max from the manufacturer. This will be the limiting capacity even though the hitch receiver is rated higher. view full answer...
Yes, the inside dimensions of the Tow-Rax Battery Box # TWSP12B that you referenced would easily fit your battery. The inner dimensions of the box are 11-25/32" long x 8-27/64" wide x 10-5/16" tall.
The box will easily withstand rain and normal wet climates but it would not be submergible so it's not technically waterproof. view full answer...
I will start by saying that you should always go with the lowest rated component you are using for the maximum capacity you can handle. I know that sounds kind of odd, but as your 2022 Kia Telluride is rated to 500 pounds of maximum tongue weight capacity, this does mean the Curt # C13420 will be limited to this amount as well. So do not exceed that you found in your owner's manual.
Hitches are almost always rated higher than the vehicle can handle as they are tested to pretty extreme... view full answer...
When we installed the Curt hitch part # C13329 on a 2019 Kia Niro like yours we found that the top of the hitch opening measured 12 inches from the ground. If you compare this to the height of your trailer coupler from the bottom lip down to the ground when level you'll know the amount of rise/drop you'd need. view full answer...
The snap ring hole of the Pro Series Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack # PS1401140303 that you referenced that mounts on the trailer has an outer diameter of 2-1/2 inches. view full answer...
I checked the vehicle owner's manual and all it says is that it is not recommended to tow a trailer with the 2014 Kia Soul (any model). But it also does not say you can't and there are numerous references to towing throughout the manual. So my interpretation is that you could tow a trailer but how heavy is unclear. I would say that at 1,200 pounds that is probably the max you would want to tow. Also, at 75 pounds that tongue weight is too light and that will make the trailer susceptible... view full answer...
I checked the owners manual for a 2014 Kia Sorento and it indicates that the roof rack capacity is 220 pounds, evenly distributed. You will want to double check your owners manual just to be on the safe side. If you do not have crossbars then you can add some.
It does sound like you at least have the side rails that run front to back. I have included links to the roof rack crossbars that will fit. It appears that for 2014 Sorentos there are raised side rails and flush side rails. the... view full answer...
