Expert Answers about Kia Sorento


  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2015 Kia Sorento
  • First let's start with a hitch. For that you would want the Curt Hitch part # C13152 which has been confirmed as a fit and would work well for you. The Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 that you referenced can be used with beach cruisers, but you will also need an adapter bar like part # 64005 to span the distance between the seat post and the steering stem to provide a vertical attachment point for the bikes.

  • Wiring Harness for a 2014 Kia Sorento SX V6
  • If your 2014 Kia Sorento SX V6 has the factory tow package you can use custom-fit plug in wiring harness # C56332 from Curt. This harness installs without having to cut or splice wires on your new Sorento. Since your hitch includes a mounting point for the 4-pole trailer connector you might want to add on the mounting bracket # 18144. If you do not have the factory tow package you'll instead use the hard-wire harness # C56256 from Curt. This wiring kit will require you to do a bit of splicing...

  • Available Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Kia Sorento to Help Fight Sag When Towing
  • I may have a solution for you to add a suspension enhancement to the rear axle of your 2019 Kia Sorento, but there are not any Sumo Springs parts that will fit. However, you can use the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear # AL29PD, which will fit inside your coil springs and inflate to help fight sag when you're towing or carrying a heavy load. You'll need to fill them up whenever you're going to tow, so they're not a zero maintenance solution like the Sumo Springs...

  • Recommended Chrome and Black Running Boards for 2020 Kia Sorento EX
  • I may have a solution for you, but there is not a chrome/black combo running board for the 2020 Kia Sorento EX. However, the AeroTread Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit - 5" Wide - Aluminum - Polished Stainless # AA2051028 are a polished chrome running board with black treads that would fit on your Sorento. These are the only running boards currently available for your Sorento EX, but they're a really nice solution. I've linked a review video of these on a similar Sorento for...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller in 2019 Kia Sorento
  • We can help you install a 7-way and brake controller in your 2019 Kia Sorento but you do need to first start with a 4-way like the part # C56256 and then convert it to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7 so that you can install a brake controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR. This comes with everything needed to convert to the correct connector and wire up a brake controller. For a trailer hitch then the etrailer # e98843 would be a great option.

  • Availability Of A 2" Trailer Hitch For A 2023 Kia Sorento PHEV
  • Yes, we do offer a trailer hitch that will fit your 2023 Kia Sorento PHEV. I recommend the Curt class 3 hitch # C34ER.

The hitch has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2023 Sorento, including the PHEV models. I have linked our install video below if you want to take a look.

  • Availability of Cover for B&W 5th Wheel Hitch
  • There are no custom-fit covers offered for your B&W 5th wheel hitch # BWRVK3600 which measures 43 x 34 x 19; I checked with B&W to confirm. But we do offer a universal-fit cover from Reese that measures 28 x 18 when in its relaxed state, part # RP30055. We also have a Classic Accessories cover # CA80116 that measures 24 x 24 x18. Neither of these will stretch to cover the entire B&W hitch and base but either of them will cover the hitch head portion.

  • Availability of a 2007 Kia Sorento Tow Package Wiring Harness
  • If your vehicle has the factory tow package then you can use the Tow Package Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, item # C56332, which will simply plug into the connector on the passenger side frame rail (see instructions). I would recommend checking the connector with a circuit tester, item # 3808 if needed, before purchasing to be sure that all of the wiring functions are present in the connector you mentioned on your frame rail. If the vehicle is not equipped with the tow package...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Availability for 2016 Kia Sorento 4-Cylinder Turbo
  • The 2016 Kia Sorento is part of the latest (third) generation of this vehicle. The Curt wiring harness you referenced, custom-fit 4-pole harness # C56256, is a confirmed fit for the 2016 Sorento and it fits either V6 or 4-cylinder versions without the factory tow package wiring. My contact at Curt verified this for me. If your Sorento does have the factory tow package then instead you will need part # C56332 which is a hardwire installation. The kit includes everything you need. I have...

  • Concealed Hitch for 2019 Kia Sorento SX
  • There is not currently a hidden or concealed hitch for the 2019 Kia Sorento SX. The hitch I recommend for your 2019 Kia Sorento SX is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98843. It has a flat black finish on it, so it will help hide dirt and scratches better and blend in better on the bottom of the bumper. If you are going to be towing you'll need trailer wiring and a ball mount. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C56332 is the wiring I recommend....

  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C34ER is confirmed to fit your 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It features a bolt-on installation and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. If you plan on doing some towing you will also need wiring. Since it sounds like you don't have the tow package you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK26FR. This is the most reliable option and will provide you with a 4-way to power...

  • Best Type of Bike Rack for 2015 Kia Sorento
  • We do not carry the Xport products here but we do offer all of the available replacement parts for the bike racks we do sell. These include many prominent brands like Thule, Yakima and Saris.

  • Is There a Suspension Enhancement for the 2012 Kia Sorento LX
  • I may have a solution for you, but the AirLift 1000 # AL61730 are not a confirmed fit on the 2012 Kia Sorento and there are not any suspension enhancements available for your vehicle. Additionally, these types of systems don't work to "lift" your vehicle and much as they reduce the sag when you connect a trailer; the good news is that there are other ways you can help fight off the sag you might be getting when towing. I recommend using a weight distribution hitch, which is designed to...

  • How Does Prodigy P3 Brake Controller Install in 2016 Kia Sorento with 7-Way Adapter Installed
  • For a wiring kit to install the P3 brake controller # 90195 to the7-way adapter you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from the brake pedal switch of your vehicle to find a circuit that has voltage when the brakes are applied and none when not applied. This will be the circuit you will run the red wire to. Finally you will need...
