You would need adapter # HTAD since all of the trailer hitches for the 2005 Kia Rio are Class I trailer hitches. The use of an adapter or extender reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent.
So if you installed a trailer hitch with a 200 pound tongue weight but then used the adapter, the 200 pound capacity would be reduced to 100 pounds. The combined weight of the load extender and anything on it would have to be less than 100 pounds. view full answer...
The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56157 will not damage the wiring of your 2013 Kia Rio. This harness is custom made for your Rio and plugs directly into the existing wiring in the rear cargo area, behind both tail lights. It has an included tail light converter so that the Rio's matches your trailer's.
If you need a trailer hitch as well, the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24884 is a confirmed fit for the Rio. This is a Class I hitch receiver rated for 2000 pounds towing and 200... view full answer...

I checked with Kat's and the Heater Part # KH11812 that you referenced is designed to fit in the cartridge that's in the RR or rear right position. This is the cartridge that is right around the back of the block on the passenger side of the vehicle.
So if you were facing the engine with the hood up it would be the back corner of the engine on the passenger side.
I attached a picture that shows where it is as well.
1) Locate cartridge hole on the engine block.
2) Clean cartridge hole... view full answer...
The best hitch for your 2012 Kia Rio for carrying a bike rack will be the Draw Tite hitch part # 24884. It doesn't require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does and doesn't have an included ball mount like the Hidden Hitch does.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058.. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check... view full answer...

Class I and II accessories like the Draw-Tite Class I Ball Mount you referenced all use a 1/2 inch hitch pin or lock. Class III, IV and V hitches use the thicker 5/8 inch diameter hitch pin or lock.
For your Class I accessory, I typically recommend a stainless locking hitch pin, like part # 40106. view full answer...
Your Kia requires a taillight converter, so you will need the Tail Light Isolating Diode System, part # 38955 and the Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter, part # 118158 along with two extra diodes, which will require purchasing the Tail Light Isolating Diodes Qty 4, item # 48955, or the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diodes Qty 2, item # RM-792.
If you do not mind the brake lights blinking when the turn signals are activated then you can just use the Tail Light Isolating Diode System, part # 38955,... view full answer...
You could use adapter # HTAD to go from a Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitch to a 2 inch accessory. However, doing so will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. On your 2009 Kia Rio all the hitches are rated for 200 pounds tongue weight so by using the adapter it would be reduced to 100 pounds. The combined weight of the bikes and carrier cannot exceed 100 pounds. Because of this I recommend a carrier that is designed for a Class I hitch such as # S63360.

Yes, the Curt Custom Fit Wiring Harness, # C56175, is the correct wiring harness for your 2013 Kia Rio EX Sedan ECO. This wiring harness will splice into the vehicle wiring behind the tail light assemblies.

Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24884 can handle the roughly 800 pounds of loaded trailer that you want to tow. But you have to check with Kia or your owner's manual to determine what, if any, towing capacity your 2013 Rio sedan has. I was unable to locate that information.
In addition to the hitch you will also need the recommended ball mount # 3592 and a ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19257 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. And for trailer wiring use # C56157 to add a 4-Way flat connector to... view full answer...

In order to flat-tow a 2015 Kia Rio you'll need to do so on a tow dolly with the front two wheels in the air, the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes part # RM-2050-1 is a great cost effective option for this. The reason a tow dolly must be used has to do with the vehicle's inability to lube the transmission properly while towed with all four wheels down.
Please note, using a tow dolly actually causes less wear and tear on the vehicle so it's still a great option and you don't have... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 24883, will work for your 2014 Kia Rio as long as it is the 5 door hatchback. If you have the sedan you would need part # 24884 instead. Both are a Class I hitch and provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
If you are still in the market for a cargo carrier, check out the link that I have attached which includes those compatible with the Class I hitch. One option is the 17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier, # C18145. This carrier receives great reviews... view full answer...
According to my research, all 2016 Kia Rio/Rio5 models come with a 4 cylinder 1.6L engine, for which the correct Kat's Engine Block Heater is # KH11812 and extension cord # KH28812.
If that is what you have, then the engine block core hole is located on the right rear (in relation to the driver's seat), as shown in the attached diagram.
To install:
1) Locate cartridge hole on the engine block, as specified above.
2) Clean cartridge hole of all debris. Use compressed air if necessary.
