  • Best Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness to Fit a 2019 Kia Sorento
  • We can certainly help you out with that. Doing the work yourself is certainly going to be a money saver for you. My favorite hitch for your 2019 Kia Sorento is the EcoHitch, part # 306-X7320. It's the only hitch with the cross tube completely hidden behind the rear bumper. The other hitches that fit your Sorento have the cross tube under the bumper which is a much less factory look. I've attached a picture that shows the exposed cross tube on the other hitches. The best wiring harness...

  • Recommend 2 Inch Hitch/Trailer Wiring For A 2023 Kia Seltos
  • I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT65GR for your 2023 Kia Seltos.The Draw-Tite hitch has a bolt-on installation and will give you the 2 inch by 2 inch receiver head opening. The trailer hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight up to 2,000 pounds and has a maximum tongue weight up to 300 pounds. For the trailer wiring harness I recommend the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C89KR You will also need the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45554. If you have any further...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Aliner Scout Pop-Up Camper with Electric Brakes
  • The Curt hitch offered for your 2015 Kia Soul is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I type, part # C11419, that has 200-lb tongue weight (TW) and 2000-lb gross trailer weight (GTW) ratings. But, and here's a big but, your 2015 Soul is NOT recommended for use to tow any size trailer. Kia indicates that this lightweight vehicle simply is not designed for towing a trailer. The hitches that are offered for it, again all are light duty Class I types, are made to allow hitch-mount accessory items...

  • Parts Needed to Use Thule SideArm 594XT on Thule Wing Bar Evo T-Slot Channels
  • I recommend using the Thule Load Bar Adapter for Peloton and Echelon Bike Racks # THXADAPT9, which was confirmed by my contact over at Thule. You could also use the Thule XADAPT2 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Roof-Mounted Carriers # XADAPT2 as Jamieson mentioned, but it takes some modification of your platform.

  • How To Carry Bikes With A 2020 Kia Rio With Out Trailer Hitch
  • When it comes to what hitch you will need for your 2020 Kia Rio Hatchback the only option we have for you is a Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack Trunk Mount # Y02634. It can carry up to two bikes that can weight up to 35 pounds per bike. It has SuperCush anti-sway cradles with ratcheting ZipStrip straps that hold the bike frame at 3 points, which also prevents bike-to-bike contact. The Draw-Tite Hitch 24964 and The T-One Wiring Harness # 118793 will not fit your 2020 Kia Rio because the hitch...

  • Parts Needed to Safely Tow a Pop Up Camper with a 2016 Kia Sedona
  • 1. Normally I'd say that your 2016 Kia Sedona would be just fine as long as the pop up has brakes, but since your towing capacity without brakes is only 1,000 lbs it would be a good idea to install one. As far as the warranty is concerned you are protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Vs etrailer Hitch For A 2023 Kia Carnival
  • Out of the two hitches I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e36KR. Though both hitches are very similar I like the etrailer hitch over the Curt hitch because the etrailer hitch has a matte black powder coated finish which hides scratches and scuffs better then the Curt does because of the type of paint that is coated on the hitch. The Curt hitch has a gloss black powder coating that makes the scratches and scuffs more visible that you would getting from flying rocks and road...

  • Parts Needed to Add a Brake Controller to a 2020 Kia Telluride
  • You definitely want to be utilizing the brakes on your camper. A general rule of thumb is that anything over 2,000 lbs needs to have active brakes, and most manufacturers either recommend or flat out say that anything over 1,000 lbs has to have active brakes. With that being said, since you already have a 4-Way connector on your 2020 Kia Telluride I recommend adding the Wiring Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L and using the Curt Echo Brake Controller # C51180. The wiring kit plugs into your 4-Way and...

Be sure to also install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118749 so you will be able to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with your Bike Rack # TH903202.

  • Recommended Solution to Carry Cargo Carrier with 2 Inch Shank on Curt Hitch with 1-1/4 Inch Receiver
  • I'll start out by saying that I don't believe that an adapter is the best way to go here. Since the Curt # C67FR is a Class I receiver, you'd need an adapter that is compatible with a Class I hitch. The drawback here is that using an adapter like this will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle by 50%. It looks like the 2021 Kia Soul has a tongue weight capacity of 200-lbs, so the maximum amount you'd be able to carry would be 100-lbs (including the weight of the carrier) if you...

  • Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2007 Kia Optima Capable Of Supporting 275lbs?
  • Currently the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11351 is the only trailer hitch receiver I see which will fit your 2007 Kia Optima still in production. This is only a class I rated receiver which carries a maximum load capacity of 200lbs. The only way you would be able to haul your mobility scooter with your Optima would be by loading it on a small utility trailer. This would require a Ball Mount # C45147 as well as 4-Way Wiring # HM11143935 to be able to tow.

  • Recommended 4 way and 7 Way Wiring Harness for 2021 Kia Sedona
  • It sounds like you're looking for a solution to provide both a 4 way and 7 way trailer connector on the back of a 2021 Kia Sedona, and we've got exactly what you'll need. I'll start out by saying that the Tekonsha # TK24FR you were looking at only has a 7 way plug, so it's not going to be the correct part for this application. I recommend starting with the Curt # C56332 since it comes with a powered converter that will help protect the electrical components of the vehicle in the event...

  • Recommended Vehicle Wiring Harness For A 2015 Kia Sorento
  • When it comes to installing a trailer wiring harness on your 2015 Kia Sorento The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56256 is confirmed for your vehicle. Using this harness will make it to where your trailer's stop, turn, and tail lights mirror your vehicle's stop, turn, and tail lights. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side tail lights. You will have...

  • Hitch and Other Towing Accessories Needed to Tow Pop-Up Camper With 2009 Kia Sedona
  • To tow your pop-up, you'll need a hitch, wiring, a ball mount, trailer ball, brake controller and a install kit for the brake controller. The hitch needed will depend on if your Sedona is the EX/LX or the base model. For the LX/EX model, I'd recommend the Curt # C13345. For the base model, go with the Draw-Tite # 75551. For the trailer wiring harness, use the Tow Ready # 118410. For a ball mount, use part # 2752. Your camper should have the necessary ball size stamped into the coupler...

  • Can a 2014 Kia Soul With Manual Transmission be Flat Towed Behind an RV?
  • Yes, you can flat tow your 2014 Kia Soul with manual transmission behind your Rv; there are a number of parts you're going to need in order to do this, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-522114-4. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates as well as its long arms, which make it easier to maneuver when towing; you will also need safety...

That will provide the correct bolts needed for your installation. If you have other questions, a link to the instructions giving you bolt sizes and torque specifications will be below.

  • What Square Crossbar Setup do You Recommend for My 2016 Jeep Wrangler Hard Top?
  • I have a great crossbar solution you can use for your 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Unfortunately, Inno does not make any feet that work with the Inno Square Crossbars - 50" # INB127 for your vehicle. Also, we do not carry another brand of feet that work. However, with the Thule SquareBar Evo crossbars, you will be able to have a crossbar system on your hard-top Wrangler. For that route, I recommend the following setup: - Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 60" # TH712500 - Rapid Gutter Feet...
