Expert Answers about Kia Seltos


  • Does 2021 Kia Seltos Needed to be Lift on Jacks to Install Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • It is not necessary to have your 2021 Kia Seltos up on a lift or jack to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR. It may be slightly easier given you'll have more room if you were to use something like the FloTool RhinoRamps Max Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11912MI and Wheel Chocks # FT11930MI but it is not necessary for the installation. I have added a link to the installation instructions for you to check out as well of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR.

  • Ground Clearance Of Hitch On 2021 Kia Seltos Compared to Kia Soul
  • We have not yet had a chance to install a hitch on a 2021 Kia Seltos, specifically the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C65FR so I do not know specific ground clearance measurements. However, you will not have the same clearance issues you had with the Kia Soul with the Curt trailer hitch on a Seltos. The Seltos has about a 1-1/2" more ground clearance in the back compared to a Kia Soul. The Curt hitch also sits flush with the bumper and does not hang down. I have attached an installation...

  • Will the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Work with My 2 Specialized Como 3 Step-Thru Bikes?
  • Yes, the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches will work with your 2 Specialized Como 3 step-thru bikes. Your bikes' frames will be able to attach to the adjustable cradles on the mast of the rack. One thing to note about the EasyFold XT is that it has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 65 pounds. I recommend you check with your bike's owner's manual to confirm that your weight falls under this maximum.

  • Can I Go Through The Carwash with a Bolt-On Thule Roof Rack for My 2022 Kia Seltos
  • Thank you for your purchase of the Thule roof rack (parts listed below) for your 2022 Kia Seltos, and I'm glad to hear you're happy with it! If the car wash is a manual one where the power washer is being operated by hand then you can leave the roof rack on. You'll need to remove the rack for an automatic car wash though because the machines might not recognize the rack and they will make contact and damage it. It would be much easier to leave the rack installed, but I always like to...

  • What is the Best Hitch for a 2024 Kia Seltos?
  • In this case the best hitch for the 2024 Kia Seltos is the only hitch available and that is the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C65FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube is hidden behind the rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 1-1/4" receiver visible. This not only looks better but it also...

  • What Crossbar System do You Recommend for My 2022 Kia Seltos with Flush Rails?
  • I have a great solution for you. You are absolutely justified to have a concern about the fitment of the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215 on a 2022 Kia Seltos with flush factory rails. I confirmed with Malone that they do not currently do not have an engineered fitment of any Malone system (including the AirFlow 2) on a 2022 model Kia Seltos.

  • What Hitch Size is Available for 2022 Kia Seltos
  • For your 2022 Kia Seltos there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Curt hitch # C65FR. The larger 2 inch hitch size is only available for larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs. It might be best to go with a bike rack that fits this hitch size like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z.

  • What Trimming Is Required To Install Curt Hitch On 2021 Kia Seltos
  • In regards to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C65FR which is a fit for a 2021 Kia Seltos, there is indeed trimming of a small under body panel required. This under body panel is just a protective covering on the passenger side. If you don't want to trim you can leave this off but the process is very minor. It's hard to say but it seems as if the panel would interfere with the hitch body. I have attached a photo of the required trimming as well as the install instructions.

  • How Difficult Is It To Install The Draw-Tite Hitch On A 2022 Kia Seltos?
  • We rate the install difficulty for the Draw-Tite # DT65GR on your 2022 Kia Seltos as a 5 out of 10, so it isn't overly difficult. Especially since you have done one before. There will be no drilling needed, but there is very minor trimming of a panel to finish the install and I included an image from the instructions showing what this entails. And again, it's very minor. As to the wiring, I recommend going with the Curt Wiring Harness # C89KR. Though one wire will need to be run up to...

  • Which Thule Roof Rack System For a 2021 Kia Seltos With Sunroof
  • I reached out to Thule directly and confirmed that the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar 47 inch # TH711220 which is the replacement for the Thule AeroBlade will fit your 2021 Kia Seltos. Thule's recommendation was to not use your sun roof with the crossbar installed, but if you do use the sun roof make sure to go slow to avoid possible damage.
