Expert Answers about Kia Sportage


  • Assisted Kayak Carrier Solution for 2020 Kia Sportage
  • I checked with Malone and they do have their SeaWing kayak carrier as a fit for your 2020 Kia Sportage but they don't list the version with the Load Assist part # MPG113MD. It doesn't look like they have this version in their fitguide separately but it is a fit since the SeaWing is a fit and only difference is the load assist. The load assist may not be quite as helpful as you are wanting so a different route might be worth taking. The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 is a really great...

  • Replacement Axle Nut for 3500 lb Boat Trailer Axles
  • We have what you need! For EZ-Lube axles which are very common on boat trailers you want to use the Spindle Nut Kit for EZ Lube Axles part # RG05-100.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 4 Cylinder 2009 Kia Sportage
  • The Tow Ready trailer wiring kit part # 119178KIT has been confirmed as a fit for your 2009 Kia Sportage 4 cylinder. But this is a universal fit style of harness that requires you to test the functions of the vehicle's wiring so that you can correctly attach the wires of the # 119178KIT. You will need to remove the rear taillight assembly to locate the wiring so that you can test it. I attached a link to a review video for this kit plus install instructions for you to check out.

  • Is the Kuat Beta Easy to Install and Remove
  • The anti-rattle device for the Kuat Beta - Folding 2 Bike Aluminum Rack for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # B202-114 is located at the rearmost end of the shank so it will be easy to get at and release the tension of the rack in the hitch receiver (see attached). The hitch pin itself is a pin with a simple clip and is really just a safety feature to further ensure the rack doesn't dislodge from the receiver (although the anti-rattle itself should be able to keep that from happening). If you wanted...

  • Weight Capacity For The Inno Square Bar Roof Rack System For My 2019 Kia Sportage
  • The Inno Square Bar System # INB137 # INSUT # INK686 you will have 132 lbs of dynamic weight capacity. That is the amount of weight you can have on the roof rack system while driving. Plenty of weight for a cargo basket like this one # Y07138.

  • Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Kia Sportage

  • Tow Dolly Recommendation for 2013 Kia Sorento 4 Cylinder
  • I did some checking and it looks like your front wheel drive 2013 Kia Sportage can only be towed with a tow dolly. You can't tow it with all 4 wheels down on the road. We have the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 which is a great option that would work well. Flat towing setups are typically more expensive than this dolly and can't easily be transferred to future vehicles like this dolly can so it's not a terrible option. Plus there's no in-depth install like the tow bar setups can have.

  • Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2020 Kia Sportage
  • Yes, we do have a trailer hitch for your 2020 Kia Sportage. It is the etrailer Hitch Receiver item # e72TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. I have linked an installation video below. You are going to need two separate wiring harnesses to add a 7-way connector to your vehicle that will allow you to control your trailer's brakes. The first is the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118698. This custom-fit...

  • Round Trailer Plug Connector For Installation on a 2022 Kia Sportage
  • With your trailer having a round plug instead of a flat plug you will need either one of a couple parts. If you do not already have a connector on your 2022 Kia Sportage you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118698. This will give you a 4-way flat which you can change to the 4-Way Round # PK11404 connector. Or you can upgrade to a 7-Way # ETBC7 if you have the larger connector. This kit includes the parts needed to also install a Trailer Brake Controller # RED52VR.

  • Can Hub-Face Be Longer for Replacement Axle
  • The hub-face distance can be longer than your current axle, but you don't want it to be shorter otherwise you run the risk of the tire sidewalls making contact with your trailer frame. So if the 95" long hub-face for the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 8327834 you're looking at is a little wider than what you currently have but the spring-centers are the same then you'll be good to go to use this as a replacement.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Touring Hybrid
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13383 will fit your 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Touring Hybrid. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. If you would prefer matte black instead of a glossy finish, we also have the etrailer # e98903. The only difference between the two is the powder coat finish. Since you will be towing, you also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK96FR. This plugs into the connection points...

  • Can 7K Demco Disc Brake Hydraulic Actuator Be Used for Hydraulic Drum Brakes
  • Thank you for the kind words, Lonner! The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Electric Lockout # DM62VR is designed for disc brakes which require a higher psi rating than drum brakes do so you'll want to use one rated for drum brakes like the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 instead: - Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX83FR Please note the slightly different bolt pattern for this coupler, plus it it doesn't come with a lockout so you'll need to add the Solenoid Valve # T4748800 to get that electric...

  • Replacement Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack
  • The triangular pattern you see on the # 322-RDJ-2K and your trailer is pretty standard for A-frame trailers. For an electric jack that will fit this same pattern I recommend the Electric Jack w/ Footplate # EJ-3520-WBX. This has a retracted bracket height of 9", extended height of 28-1/2", and 25-1/8" of total lift. It also has a 3,500 lb capacity. This is also available in black # EJ-3527-BBX which includes a 7-way so you don't have to manually wire it for power. I have attached some...

  • Recommended Tow Bar And Baseplate For A 2022 Chevy Equinox
  • For a 2022 Chevy Equinox I recommend the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C28FR. It's the only baseplate currently available that is compatible with lower active air shutters so that you won't have to trim or cut yours. To go along with your Curt baseplate you'll also need the Curt Rambler Steel Tow Bar # C26FR. This tow bar is going to come with safety cables and will be easy peasy to connect to your baseplate. Once you have your baseplate installed you'll want to measure the height from...

  • Recommended Hitch or Roof Top Carrier for a 2022 Kia Sportage Carrying A Lot of Heavy Chicken Stuff
  • Personally, I would go with a hitch mounted cargo carrier. The reason being, you mentioned a lot of heavy stuff. Not only can a hitch mounted carrier support more weight, it also means that you will not have to lift all of that weight up to the roof of your Sportage. I like the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874. This carrier can support up to 500 lbs. (make sure not to exceed the tongue weight for your specific hitch) but it also has a tilt and fold option. This means you can tilt...

  • Recommended Bike Rack For A 60lb Fat Tire E-Bike
  • For the best bike rack for a 60lb electric fat tire bike you'll want to get the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR. This rack has an 80lb per bike capacity and is rated for use on all vehicles as well as 5th wheel trailers, motorhomes, and flat towed vehicles. The wheel hoops are adjustable to fit tire widths up to 5" and wheelbases up to 60". The padded frame clamps can easily be adjusted around to hold a variety of different frames and the anti-rattle...

  • Is There Drilling Required to Install Curt Hitch on 2022 Kia Sportage AWD SX Turbo
  • We confirmed with Curt that their hitch # C13281 that you referenced fits all models of the 2022 Kia Sportage including your SX Turbo AWD model. There is no drilling to install this hitch and you may need to trim the rear fascia slightly before you reinstall it. I attached an install video for this on a similar Sportage for you to check out as well. This would work great with a bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z.

  • Hitch and Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Kia Sportage
  • Sounds like you are looking for a trailer hitch and bike rack for your 2012 Kia Sportage. For a trailer hitch you'll want the Draw Tite part # 75717 which is a confirmed fit (install video attached below). I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform...

  • Yakima Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Volkswagen Passat and 2018 Kia Sportage
  • There are some Yakima roof rack components that can be used on both a 2015 Volkswagen Passat and a 2018 Kia Sportage but they vehicles are pretty different so they'd take different fit kits and bar lengths. For the Passat you'd need the following: # Y00409, # Y28TR, # Y03536, # Y06137, and # Y06125 For the Sportage you'd need: # Y00408, # Y28TR, # Y03536, # Y06125, and # Y06153 The two components that fit both are # Y28TR and # Y03536.
