Expert Answers about Kia


  • Is There a 2 Hitch for E-Bike Rack for 2023 Kia Soul
  • The only trailer hitch options for a 2023 Kia Soul are class I, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C67FR which is what I recommend using. That said, you can use an adapter to expand the 1-1/4" to 2" like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR or part # e93YR. Please note, the use of these adapters will cut your hitch/vehicle capacity in half.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation and Options for 2020 Kia Sorento with Naked Roof
  • I attached a link to a page that has all of the roof racks we offer for your 2020 Kia Sorento, and yes the 2019 fits are the exact same. I really like the Yakima Jetstream roof rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y28TR, # Y06159, and # Y06170 as it gives you a very high quality aerodynamic roof rack that has top channels which allow for more flexibility when attach roof accessories. I attached an install video for this rack on a similar Sorento for you to check out as well.

  • Kayak Carrier and Load Assist Recommendation for 2017 Kia Sedona with OEM Roof Rack
  • A potential carrier option for your 2017 Kia Sedona factory roof rack is the Malone SeaWing # MPG107MD. This is a saddle-style carrier that you'll load from the rear of your van as opposed to the side. This can be adjusted side to side so you should be able to get both kayaks on top of your vehicle but I do recommend laying the boats side by side behind your vehicle to see if the middle of each will be above your crossbars. To help make loading your boats easier you can use the Malone...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid S
  • The Curt hitch part # C34ER is a confirmed fit for your 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid and is a bolt on install. This is a mostly hidden trailer hitch with great towing capacities so it would work well for you. For trailer wiring then the Tekonsha kit part # TK26FR is what I would recommend as it has an easier install that does not require splicing into taillight wiring and also has a very reliable converter box.

  • Will Hollywood Racks Express Bike Rack Fit a 2006 Kia Sportage
  • Yes, we checked with Hollywood Racks and they have confirmed their Express 3 bike rack part # HRE3 as a confirmed fit for your 2006 Kia Sportage. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video...

  • What Hitch Platform Bike Rack Can I Use On My 2020 Kia Soul With A Curt 11575 Hitch Receiver
  • We do have hitch bike rack options for your 2020 Kia Soul. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4", part # C67FR, has a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs and a maximum gross tow weight of 2,000 lbs. That maximum tongue weight includes the weight of the hitch bike rack and the weight of the bikes you will be carrying. The Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # S64650, fits Class II and III hitch receivers. It will not work...

  • Carrying a Carbon Frame Bike on a 2014 Kia Soul
  • The Thule OutWay platform style trunk mount bike rack # TH65JV is listed as a fit for your 2014 Kia Soul. If you are carrying just one bike with a carbon frame the weight on the vehicle should not be excessive and it will safely carry the bike. With this bike rack it is possible for it to deform a rear bumper if the load is too heavy. Basically if you are carrying 2 regular steel frame bikes it would likely deform the bumper on the vehicle. If you have any doubts about the OutWay I recommend...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation and Load Assist Kayak Carrier for 2021 Kia Sorento
  • The Yakima ShowDown Kayak or SUP Carrier # Y04081 is 42" long so that means your crossbars will need to be at LEAST 84" long to load 2 of these on your vehicle. Unless you plan on taking flight with your 2021 Kia Sorento I don't recommend using wing-sized crossbars, but instead using an alternative load-assist. I recommend checking out the Malone DownLoader and TelosXL Load Assist # MPG114MD-351XL and then picking up an extra DownLoader Set # MPG114MD so you can carry 2 boats. Then for...

  • Recommendation to Carry Skis and Snowboards on Roof of 2021 Kia Telluride
  • To start off we will need to get a roof rack on your 2021 Kia Telluride for which I recommend the Yakima JetStream system which includes the following: 60" JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00426 BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR Fit Kits - # Y06125 and # Y06165 Then for a ski/snowboard carrier I recommend going with 2 of the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR573. This can carry 3 pairs of skis or 2 boards so you would be able to use 1 for the skis and then 1 for the boards. I've attached...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing a Trailer With 2022 Kia Telluride EX
  • For your 2022 Kia Telluride EX I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e45ZR. 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 and is also compatible with weight distribution should you wish to use it in the future. The matte black powder coat finish helps to hide dirt and dings when compared to a glossy finish. This hitch is made in the USA. For wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring...

  • Trailer Wiring Kit Recommendation for a 2022 Kia Telluride
  • The trailer wiring kit I recommend you install on your 2022 Kia Telluride is the Curt T-Connector # CU94FR. This is an easy plug and play installation. To mount your 4-Way connection next to your hitch receiver I recommend picking up the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202. If you don't already have a hitch, then I recommend the etrailer # e45ZR because of the matte black finish that looks sleek and tends to be more durable than the gloss finishes. If you don't already have a ball...

  • How To Transport 4 62lb Electric Bikes With 2021 Kia Telluride
  • I may have another option, but there is not a bike rack that is capable of carrying 4 electric bikes weighing 62lbs each. While there are quite a few bike racks like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR that will fit in the 2" trailer hitch receiver on your Kia Telluride, and will support electric bikes up to 80lbs each, they are only available in a 2 bike configuration. To transport 4 electric bikes at the same time, I recommend purchasing a small...

  • Bike Rack For Kia Soul With Factory Spoiler
  • The Thule Gateway Pro 3 # TH78VR fits most factory spoilers and is confirmed to fit the 2016 Kia Soul without the spoiler but to be safe since you have a spoiler I would get a hitch and rack. You'll be able to access your hatch and it is MUCH easier to use than a trunk rack but that's just me. If I were you, I would get the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11419 which you can easily install yourself. I've included the installation video to help! If you're only needing to haul one bike I would recommend...

  • Does Voyager RV LCD Observation Monitor Have Adjustable Viewing Angle
  • The Voyager RV Camera # VO34FR that you referenced does not have an adjustable viewing angle in the monitor settings or the camera settings. The viewing angle is 85 degrees which is a great blend of being able to see everything but not so wide that it's hard to judge depth.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2011 Kia Forte
  • Curt trailer hitch # C11124 for the 2011 Kia Forte Hatchback has a capacity of 2,000 pounds but you will need to determine the towing capacity of the vehicle by checking in the owners manual. If the combined weight of the trailer and trike when loaded and ready to tow exceeds 2,000 pounds or the capacity of the vehicle, whichever is lower, you will not be able to tow the bike and trailer with this vehicle. If you determine that you can, you will also need a properly sized ball (the hitch...

  • How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2014 Kia Soul Plus that Can Only Use a Class I Trailer Hitch
  • There is a way to carry 3 bikes on your 2014 Kia Soul. But the trailer hitches available for your 2014 Kia Soul are Class I trailer hitches. This means that you can only carry up to 2 bikes maximum because any additional bikes would be too far from the receiver and put too much stress on it resulting in damage to the hitch and/or vehicle. To carry 3 bikes you can use a 3-bike trunk mount bike rack such as # TH911XT. This will also be more cost effective since you do not have to purchase...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring on a 2013 Kia Soul that Lights Up Trailer Lights All the Time
  • It sounds like there was a short on your trailer that developed over the winter and when you connected your Kia Soul to it the short took out the converter box of the # 118637. If you want you can test to verify this, but I am very confident the box has shorted out and needs to be replaced. What you will want to do is test the wires going into the box of the converter box for voltage with a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 to see if there is voltage going into the box when the taillight...

  • Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Kia Sedona
  • We have Thule roof rack options for your 2015 Kia Sedona, but none of them use the discontinued fit kit 4009 that you referenced. The roof of your vehicle should have raised side rails and a rack like the Thule Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R, Fit Kit # THKIT4057, and 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 would work great. I attached an install video for this rack for you to check out as well.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 Kia Rio for Light Towing
  • Since you are planning on doing some light towing with your 2007 Kia Rio sedan I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11094. To complete the towing setup you will also need a ball mount and part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball and/or # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball. For trailer wiring you would want the part # 119178KIT. I am sorry, we don't have kits on our site, but we are always readily available to create you a custom kit like this. Just...
