Expert Answers about Kia Sedona


  • Troubleshooting Curt Triflex Brake Controller that Brake Output Jumps Around
  • The Curt Triflex brake controller # C24VV that you referenced is notoriously buggy. Try unplugging it for a few seconds and replugging it back it to see if resetting it would allow it to function again. If that does not work I'd strongly recommend replacing it with a more reliable brake controller like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195.

  • What Extra Long Crossbars do You Recommend for Transporting 2 Canoes on My 2009 Kia Sedona?
  • Even though we do not have round crossbars that provide you with the length you need, we do have a perfect aero-bar system for you. This is because both of our round bar lengths are 48" inches # Y00408 and 78" # Y00411. While the 48" bars are too short, the 78" bars are dangerously too long according to the vehicle width specs on the 2009 Kia Sedona with raised rails. Those 78" bars may even be illegal in some municipalities. With that being said, in order to add the long crossbar length...

  • Replacement Trailer Tire Recommendation for Size 20.5x8.0-10 Load Range D
  • I recommend swapping out the lower capacity tire with a replacement that has the same PSI rating as the 70 psi tire. For that we have the part # AM1HP54 which is a Load Range D and has a weight capacity of 1,330 lbs at 70 psi.

  • Yakima Roof Rack that Fits 2018 Kia Sorento
  • The RailGrab style of the Yakima roof rack was phased out couple years ago but Yakima does offer a round bar roof rack for your 2015 Kia Sedona with part numbers # Y00409, # Y00145, # Y03536, and # Y06006. If you have round bars already you could still reuse them. Or we have an aero bar fit too with part # Y00426, # Y00145, and # Y06006 which would give you a quieter ride quality.

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Have Enough Towing Capacity for 2020 Kia Sedona
  • I checked the owner's manual of your 2020 Kia Sedona and found that it has a maximum trailer towing capacity of 3,500 lbs if your trailer has brakes, or 1,000 lbs if your trailer does not have brakes. What this means is that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13115, which has a 4,000 lb towing capacity, is absolutely strong enough to handle the maximum load your 2020 Kia Sedona can tow. I have added a photo showing how this hitch will look when installed on your Sedona as well as a link...

  • Brake Controller And Brakes Recommendations For 2010 Kia Sedona And Trailer
  • Thank you for the spec sheet on the axle you have on your trailer. I spoke with my contact at Dexter and they told me that you do not need to replace your axle, you can just upgrade the one you have. They told me that you have the brake mounting flange mounted on your axle so what you will want to do is add a new hub and drum, the brakes, and wiring for your trailer, and you should be good to go. The hub and drum I recommend is the etrailer.com Trailer Hub Assembly, part # AKHD-545-35-G-K....

  • Could Hollywood Racks Destination Fit 2018 Kia Sedona with Draw Tite Hitch
  • The Hollywood Racks Destination 4 Bike Platform Rack # HR4000 would be a great bike rack option for your 2018 Kia Sedona that has a Draw Tite 2 inch hitch # 75894 installed. You'd have plenty of clearance for the rack to fit and allow the rear door to open when the rack is folded down.

  • Replacement 6-Way Square Connector Recommendations for a Trailer
  • For a set of replacement 6-way square connectors you would want the part # 37995. This part number comes with both the trailer and the vehicle side connectors so you would have a spare for your vehicle as well. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

  • Easiest Brake Controller Solution for 2018 Kia Sedona
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one) on your 2018 Kia Sedona. For that you would want the # C56332. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the 7-way adapter part # 37185 which also has a 4-way on the side of it. Once you plug this in and then run a power cable from the black wire of it to the positive post of your vehicle battery using 10-gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for 2012 Kia Sedona
  • Installation of the parts for your 2012 Kia Sedona is definitely something you can do. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13345 for your trailer hitch which comes with all the mounting bolts and should take about 15 minutes to install because there are already nuts welded inside your frame so it is simply adding bolts and washers then torqueing them to spec. I've attached a video to assist. For your wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring...

  • Can 2016 Kia Sedona Tow 2,700 lb Camper
  • I looked up the towing capacity of your 2016 Kia Sedona and it looks to have a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs so a 2,700 lb camper would be no problem at all. For a hitch you then would want the Draw Tite part # 75894 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for more info on this as well. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56332 which I attached an install video for as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit...

  • Parts Needed To Install 7-way Connector and Curt Echo Wireless C51180 On 2012 Kia Sedona
  • I would be happy to help! The Curt T-Connector # C56347 and # C89KR you were looking at are both confirmed to fit your 2012 Kia Sedona and will both give you the 4-way connector you need. There is not major difference between the harnesses so I recommend going with the most cost effective option at the time. Moving on to adding a 7-way connector to use the Curt Echo Wireless # C51180 I recommend the # ETBC7L which was designed specifically for the Echo. The # ETBC7L will plug into your...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2016 Kia Sedona
  • We certainly can help you set up trailer wiring on your 2016 Kia Sedona that will allow you to use your trailer brakes and battery charge wire, but you do have to start with a 4-way like the # HM11143965 that you referenced. Not all vehicles are wired for trailer brakes. Especially ones that weren't made with towing as a primary concern like your 2016 Kia Sedona. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want...

  • Rear Air Bag Suspension Setup For 2015 Kia Sedona To Reduce Vehicle Sag
  • The only rear suspension enhancement system that is confirmed to fit your 2015 Kia Sedona is the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4138. This air bag setup has a weight capacity of 1000lbs which should be more than enough for your vehicle. It will drastically reduce rear-end sag on your Sedona as well as improve handling and reduce body roll on turns. While this kit includes everything necessary for installation and use, you may find it useful to add a compressor kit...

  • Trailer Lights Troubleshooting and Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for 2006 Kia Sedona
  • If the lights on your trailer are being powered on, but are coming on at a very low level, it's definitely possible that there is a ground issue. I recommend making sure that you have a secure ground connection with a clean, unobstructed area on your trailer's frame. If possible, try grounding the vehicle lights back to the main trailer ground. To power the trailer's electric brakes with your 2006 Kia Sedona, you will need to add a brake controller along with an additional wiring kit....

  • Does Brake Controller Install Before 7-Way Adapter
  • Sounds like you have a custom fit 4-way trailer wiring harness (that's installed already), a brake controller, and a 4-way to 7-way adapter has brake controller wiring like the # ETBC7. You'll actually need the controller and the ETBC7 at the same time as they rely on each other to install completely.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2017 Kia Sedona Without Factory Flush Mounted Side Rails
  • If your 2017 Kia Sedona does not feature the factory flush mounted rails that run front to back, your only option for a roof rack system is with the SeaSucker Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B. This particular system uses unique vacuum cups that will attach directly to the roof, so flush mounted side rails are not utilized. The round, 48 inch long aluminum crossbars will resist corrosion and the roof rack features a weight capacity of 150 pounds. I have attached a short video demonstration on this...

  • Recommended Heavy Duty Shackles and Wet Bolts Compatible With Curved Equalizer TREQ356
  • I would be happy to recommend the correct components for you, but there is not a kit that includes the # TREQ356 you were looking at and heavy duty shackles. Instead you will need to purchase the # TREQ356 separately and then the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 2-1/4" Long Shackle Straps # MR46ZR. This kit includes bronze bushings for the equalizers and the springs, wet bolts, and heavy duty shackles. Currently there are no heavy duty shackles that are 2-1/2",...

  • Does Weight Of Weight Distribution Hitch Get Added To Tongue Weight Of Trailer?
  • The weight of the weight distribution hitch will actually not count towards the tongue weight of your trailer. So when you use the # BXW0356 you were looking at its 100lbs will not take away from the 350lb tongue weight rating of the trailer hitch receiver on your 2021 Kia Sedona. You will just need to make sure your trailers tongue weight does not exceed the 350lb tongue weight rating of your trailer hitch receiver.

  • 2016 Kia Sedona Trailer Hitch and Carrier Recommendation for a Wheelchair
  • I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e49YR on your 2016 Kia Sedona and then using the Flint Hill Goods 29" x 49" Carrier w/ 60" Ramp # FHG69ZR for your wheelchair. The etrailer hitch is the only one that has a matte black finish which does a better job than the classic glossy black finish at blending in with the vehicle and helping to prevent scratches from road debris. The wheelchair carrier has an aluminum construction so not only is it corrosion resistant, but...
