view full answer... - Would Hitch for 2023 Kia Seltos Also Fit 2021 Kia Sportage
- The vehicles are different enough that you would not be able to use one hitch on both vehicles. For the 2023 Kia Seltos you'd want the Curt hitch part # C65FR and then for a similar style of Curt hitch that fits your 2021 Kia Sportage you'd want the part # C12158. Also worth mentioning is that hitch install hardware is one time use so you'd have to buy new hardware if you could swap hitches.

- Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR will fit your 2022 Kia Seltos. This is a class I receiver that is rated for 200lbs of tongue weight and 2,000lbs trailer towing capacity. Be sure to not exceed any limits given from Kia for your Seltos.
The receiver has a 1-1/4" opening and Curt suggests their Drawbar # C45521 which has a 2-5/8" rise and length of 7-1/4" for hauling a trailer. You should measure the difference from your trailer that you will be towing to the top of the receiver...

- I can definitely understand wanting the 2 inch hitch size but none of our manufacturers offer one for the Seltos. The Subaru vehicles are a bit of an exception to the reasoning you mentioned. We've found this is due to the fact Subaru offers a 2 inch hitch for the vehicle as well which means the frame and chassis was on some level designed for higher towing capacities. Your 2020 Kia Seltos currently only has a 1-1/4 inch hitch available for it like the # C65FR.

- We do offer a hitch for the 2021 Kia Seltos, but it's a Class I with the 1-1/4 inch receiver. None of our vendors offer a 2 inch hitch for your vehicle, but the US made Curt Class I # C65FR would work great for you if its 2000 lb towing/200 lb tongue weight capacity would meet your needs.
If you'd be doing some light duty towing with the hitch, a wiring harness like # C89KR and a # C45521 ball mount along with a # PC2 hitch pin would also be needed. For a trailer ball, use # A-80 for a...
view full answer... - Can Swing Away Bike Rack Be Used With Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver On 2021 Kia Seltos
- I have another option for you, but using a hitch adapter like the # HTAD will reduce the capacities of the trailer hitch receiver by 50% and since the only trailer hitch receivers available for your 2021 Kia Seltos are Class I receivers with a 200lb tongue weight rating that means you are down to 100lbs available. When you take a way the 5lbs of the # HTAD and the roughly 40lbs of the swing away adapter you only have 60lbs for the weight of your bikes and the weight of the bike rack which...

- Many carriers for mobility scooters/wheelchairs will be rated up to at least 400 if not 500 lbs. in order to meet their intended purpose. Because this carrier and its load are directly on the hitch itself, manufacturers will state the need for a 2" receiver and class III hitch. Some Class II hitches will have the 2" receiver and there are adaptors to change from the 1-1/4" to 2", such as the # HTAD but in doing so this cuts down the tongue weight capacity. The weight load is what is...
