Expert Answers about Kia Amanti


  • Trailer Hitch and Bike rack Recommendations for a 2005 Kia Amanti
  • For a trailer hitch for your 2005 Kia Amanti I recommend the Curt # C11450. This is a Class I hitch and has a limitation of supporting only 2 bikes on a bike rack and must be compatible with Class I bike racks. Please note that Curt requires the use of their Stabilizing strap # 18050 for all non trailer loads, such as a bike rack. Our most popular Class I compatible 2 bike rack is the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670. This is a platform style bike rack. The benefit is that it can carry a wide...

  • Can 2005 Kia Amanti Tow Alto Safari Travel Trailer That Weighs 2000-lbs
  • The online edition of the owner's manual for your 2005 Kia Amanti indicates on page 5-12 that the car can tow a trailer of up to 2000-lbs IF the trailer has its own brakes, either hydraulic or electric brakes. If the trailer does not have its own brakes then the towing limit is 1000-lbs. Keep in mind that your owner's manual may indicate different capacities so it is best to check yours too. Also note that the passenger and cargo weight in the vehicle can reduce its towing capacity. This...

  • Fit of Thule Passage Trunk Mounted 3 Bike Rack # TH911XT on 2005 Kia Amanti
  • The Thule Passage Trunk Mount 3 Bike Rack, part # TH911XT would be a great fit for your 2005 Kia Amanti. The rack uses Thule's Fit Dial system to perfectly tailor itself to the profile of your Amanti. The Thule # TH982XT frame adapter would work great for you, but I'd recommend the Swagman version, part # 64005 which is less expensive and easier to use. The 64005 will work perfectly with the Passage.

  • Bike Adapter Bar and Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2005 Kia Amanti
  • I recommend using an adapter for each women's bike that you plan on carrying, especially if the bike does not have a upper frame bar. The adapter bar provides a location to secure the bike to the carrier. I have attached a review video of this adapter bar for you. The # TH982XT adapter will work with nearly any bike rack that requires an upper frame bar for mounting. The bar will work great with either the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT or the Passage 3 # TH911XT that you referenced. Both...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Kia Amanti and 1999 Toyota Camry
  • For a hitch for your 2004 Kia Amanti the Curt Hitch part # C11450 that you referenced would work for you. All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. For this you would want the Curt Stabilizer Strap part # 18050. For a hitch for your 1999 Toyota Camry I would recommend the Draw Tite Hitch part # 36336. You would not need to use a stabilizer...

  • Availability of Hitch-Mounted Motorcycle Carrier for 2004 Kia Amanti
  • The motorcycle carriers we have available are only compatible with 2 inch hitch receivers. This is simply because a 1-1/4 inch receiver typically won't have the capacity needed to carry a motorcycle in this manner. The only trailer hitch we have available for your 2004 Kia Amanti, the Curt # C11450, is a Class I hitch with a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. Based on my research, it looks like your 2005 Kawasaki KLX 125 has a dry weight of right around 180 pounds. Since you also have to...
