  • 4-Way Wiring Harness That Fits 2022 Kia Sorento SX Without Factory Tow Package
  • For a wiring harness that fits your 2022 Kia Sorento SX without the factory tow package I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK26FR. When compared to others, we have found Tekonsha to be the most reliable when it comes to wiring. The # TK26FR uses a T-One connector to plug directly into existing wiring behind your tail lights. This means no cutting or splicing is required. You will also need to run a hot lead to the car battery to complete the...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2008 Kia Sorento without Trailer Wiring
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C59236. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller # 39523. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.

  • Does Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2019 Kia Sorento Allow Panoramic Sun Roof to Open
  • The Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX023 that fits your 2019 Kia Sorento will allow the sun roof to open according to Rhino Rack but some roof accessories mounted on this rack might interfere with it opening. Reason being that the bars can be set at any distance desired on the flush rails of your roof which would allow the sunroof to move like it needs to, but with roof accessories installed the bars will have to be set at the spread the accessory requires which...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch For 2023 Kia Sorento
  • The only difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches for your 2023 Kia Sorento is the finish. The etrailer hitch sports a matte black finish, while the Curt hitch has a glossier finish, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '23 Sorento are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e28AR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # e28AR The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better than a glossy...

  • Is Weight Distribution System Beneficial if Near Tongue Weight Capacity
  • The short answer is yes, a weight distribution system will be a good idea. The fact you are near the tongue weight capacity of your hitch won't actually have a bearing on the effectiveness of a weight distribution system; the general rule is that if your loaded trailer weighs more than 50% of your vehicle's weight you need a weight distribution system, and a lot of vehicle owner's manuals specify the use of a weight distribution system for their vehicles if they are towing over a certain...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 Kia Sorento
  • Yes, to mount the Thule Hitching Post Pro, # TH934XTR to your 2019 Kia Sorento, you need the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver, # e98843. This is a Class III bolt-on hitch with a 2"x2" receiver. It comes with all needed hardware and I even have an installation video linked of this being installed on a 2019 Kia Sorento to help you with the process. My suggestion is go ahead and add the trailer wiring at the same time too, in case you need/want to tow a trailer. Use the Hopkins Plug-In...

  • Trailer Wiring for 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid without Tow Package
  • If your 2022 Kia Sorento does not have the factory tow package it would not have the connector needed to install the part # CU94FR that you have. If that's the case the other option would be the trailer wiring kit part # TK26FR which installs by plugging inline with the taillight connectors of the vehicle and was designed for vehicles without the tow package.

  • Replacement Brake Line For 1999 Trailer For Larson 233 Escape Boat
  • The best way to find a brake line that will work for your trailer is to take a quick measurement. You will want to measure from the actuator at the front of your trailer back to the Tee for the brake lines running to the brakes. From my research I saw that the Larson 233 boats were all on tandem trailers. I have attached a link to the brake lines product page we offer. You can select a line that best matches the length of the line you are wanting to replace or you can go with an easier...

  • Recommended Solution for 1-1/4" Hitch for 2021 Kia Sorento
  • I may have a solution for you, but most manufacturers are a bit behind in confirming fits for existing hitches on 2021 vehicles or designing altogether new hitches for them; for this reason there are no 1-1/4" hitches confirmed for your Sorento. Your best bet if this need is immediate might be going with the 2" factory hitch and using a hitch reducer like the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02. This would give you the ability to use any existing 1-1/4" hitch accessories,...

  • 7-Way Recommendation for 2017 Kia Sorento for Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller
  • Since 2017 Kia Sorento has the factory tow package all you need to install an active 7-way so that you can install the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 is the 7-way kit part # TK24FR and you'db be set. This comes with everything needed to have a completely active 7-way for the install of the Echo. A power wire would not be ran to the battery.

  • Comparing Different Thule Roof Racks that Fit 2019 Kia Sorento
  • For your 2019 Kia Sorento there are three roof rack options from Thule with that have unique advantages. The advantage of the square bar roof rack part numbers # TH712200, # TH710601, and # TH186033 compared to other options is price. It won't be as quiet or as sleek looking as other options and doesn't have a track that runs down the top of the bars for channel mounting ability either. Next we have the Wingbar Evo roof rack part number # TH711200, # TH710601, # TH186033 which has the...

  • Why is Curt 2-inch Class III Hitch C13195 for 2016 Kia Sorento Not Rated for Weight Distribution
  • You are correct that the Curt 2-inch Class III hitch # C13195, and the other similar hitches offered for your 2016 Kia Sorento V6 with tow package, cannot be used with weight distribution systems. This relates not to the hitches themselves but to the strength of the vehicle's frame structure. This is enough to meet the hitches' base rating of 5000-lbs towing weight, but it is not strong enough to allow for a higher weight distribution rating. You can add sway control independent of weight...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring For a 2022 Kia Sorento
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C34ER as being the best receiver available for your 2022 Kia Sorento. This receiver has concealed cross tube which gives it a cleaner look on the back of your Sorento. The class III, 2" receiver will allow for you to use a wider range of accessories and ball mounts depending on what you plan to use the receiver for. The maximum tongue weight rating is 600lbs with a maximum trailer rating of 4,000lbs. Be sure to not exceed any ratings given by...
