Though we have class 3 hitches available for your 2023 Kia Sportage, we do not have any class one hitches. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38KR. After installation it will give your vehicle a clean off the factory look with only the two inch receiver head showing. It has a bolt-on installation with no welding required. If you're needing to reduce the 2 inch receiver to a 1-1/4 inch receiver you can do that by using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter # C45770. Using... view full answer...
You can flat tow a 2009 Kia Sportage with a manual transmission. To determine if there are any specific requirements for flat towing your vehicle, be sure to check the owners manual.
For flat towing you will need 5 items: Base plates; tow bar; safety cables; lighting; supplemental braking.
Base plates provide a safe and secure attachment point of the vehicle for the tow bar. For your Sportage, you can use the Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 1621-1, that you have referenced.

We have everything that you need to tow a boat trailer with your 2008 Kia Sportage. In addition to the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13526, that you referenced, you will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118401.
We have installed this hitch and wiring harness on a 2008 Kia Sportage at our shop so I linked the videos for you to check out. I have also attached the installation instructions.
One final item that I would recommend is the Ball Mount Kit, # 989900. This kit includes... view full answer...
To help prevent rear sag on your 2023 Kia Sportage, I would recommend adding rear axle air helper springs. For your vehicle we have The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4176 and The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL29PD. Out of the two sets I would recommend The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4176 over The Air Lift # AL29PD because they have a better more durable construction and will last longer.
The Firestone airbags have a load-leveling capacity... view full answer...
We sure do have some kits that you can install on your 2012 Kia Sportage to activate the lights when you are towing it with a tow dolly!
If your tow vehicle has a 7-Way then I recommend installing the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. If you have a 4-Way on your tow vehicle then I recommend using the Tow Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System # TR118821 instead. Both wiring systems tie into the lighting on your Sportage and protect the wiring on your tow vehicle via diodes.

If you already have a brake controller that connects via 4 wires, like the popular Prodigy P3 # 90195, then you will need a 4-Way wiring harness like the recommended T-One # 118526 and the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. The T-One provides the standard tail light functions from your 2016 Kia Sportage to your trailer and then the ETBC7 kit adds the 12V and brake controller functions as well.
Attached is an installation of the T-One on a similar Sportage and the ETBC7 on a Kia Sorento for... view full answer...
To add a 7-Way to your 2018 Kia Sportage you'll need to start off with a 4-Way flat which carries the basic trailer light functions. For that I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118698 simply because we have found the T-One harnesses to be the best. This tees in behind your tail lights and then draws power straight from your battery to power the trailer lights.
The next step is to add the 7-Way wiring to the 4-Way flat. The kit you need for this will depend on what type of brake controller... view full answer...
If your 2007 Kia Sportage is the I4 2.0L Front Wheel Drive Manual Transmission model, then you will be able to flat tow the vehicle. If your vehicle is 4wd or all wheel drive, it will not be able to be flat towed. In order to flat tow a vehicle with an RV, you're going to need parts from a couple different categories: Base Plates, Tow Bars, Safety Chains, Wiring/Lights and a Supplemental Braking System. Below I've created a list of recommendations that will fit your vehicle:
1) Base Plates:... view full answer...
The first step will be completing the installation of the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter with Backup Alarm # C57102 on to your 2016 Kia Sportage.
You will need enough 12 Gauge Wire # 12-1-1 to run from the 7-way to where you will be tapping into the battery 12 volt source. This is sold by the foot so remember to account for all the bends along your Sportage to get it to your battery source. A Deka Ring Terminal # DW05741-1 will help you to connect to your power supply.

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. view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but the Truxedo TruxSport # TX297601 is not a confirmed fit on the 2003 Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCrew short bed trucks. Instead, you'll want to use either the Truxedo TruxSport # TX258101 for a 6-1/2 foot bed without StepSide or # TX248601 for 6-1/2 foot bed with Stepside.
If you have a 5-1/2 foot bed then you'll need the Truxedo Lo Pro # TX590601 since there is not a TruxSport available for the 5-1/2 foot beds of the 2003 F-150. view full answer...
First you will need the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38KR for your 2023 Kia Sportage. I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0450 to connect your trailer. This will help reduce rear end sag while also helping to prevent trailer sway while driving on the highway. You will also need a 2" Hitch Ball # 40038 along with a 1-1/2" 12pt Socket # ALL643210 to fasten it to the hitch.

The Yakima part number for the RidgeClip Fit Kit for Yakima RidgeLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06021 is 8006021, which makes these the RidgeClip number 21.
They also mentioned that the clip you're looking for is now obsolete, and has been replaced with the SightClip 8006435 for their Sightline Towers, however Yakima does not have a set of SightLine Towers that will fit your Volkswagen.
Instead, your only real option would be to use a Thule roof rack like the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars #... view full answer...
Even though we do have trailer hitches that can support over 400 lbs of tongue weight (TW), I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2013 Kia Sportage and the max TW you can carry is 200 lbs.
Because your Sportage is the limiting factor you will need to use a trailer to tow your motorcycle. You can tow up to 1,000 lbs without a braking system or up to 2,000 lbs if you do have a braking system. I recommend checking your version of the owner's manual or with a local... view full answer...
When installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38KR onto your 2023 Kia Sportage HEV the rear bumper will not need to be notched. You will need to lower the exhaust for ease of installation. The Underbody panel(s) and or fascia must be temporarily loosened or removed and you may have trim to reattach the panel or the fascia. I recommend the etrailer hitch over the Curt hitch # C94WR because the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish that will make scratches and scuffs that you... view full answer...
The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56321 will only allow you to power your trailer's signal lights. If you want to tow a trailer with electric brakes using your 2021 Kia Sportage you will need to add a 7-way and a brake controller in addition to the 4-way connection.
The first thing you need to do is add the 4-way. I recommend the Tekonsha # 118698 over the Curt since we have found Tekonsha to be the most reliable when it comes to wiring. Once this is installed you will need... view full answer...
Roof racks for your 2013 Kia Sportage that has a bare roof are displayed on the linked page and these include racks from Inno and others. For the Inno 54-inch square bar rack you referenced you will need to order parts # INB137, # INSUT and # INK701.
On your vehicle this rack will install with a 28-inch bar spread; the rack weight capacity is 120-lbs. It is a good idea to check your Kia owner's manual to make sure your roof can handle the weight of the canoe. Of course, the canoe cannot... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13354 that you are inquiring about does not look like it fits your 2017 Kia Sportage. However, The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13281 is a direct fit. In regards to the bolts, they are included with the product, otherwise you can use # RHK to replace or purchase hardware for your hitch. You would just need to enter your item number # C13281 and the manufacturer, which is Curt. view full answer...
For your 2001 Kia Sportage, in addition to hitch, and wiring # HM43915, you will need a ball mount and a ball for the coupler on the trailer. You will also need safety chains unless the trailer comes with them.
For a 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch opening, like your Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, use Class II Drawbar, # 36051. With this ball mount, use Hitch Ball, # 19256. To secure and lock the drawbar in place, use the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, # e98879.
For safety chains, I would go with a... view full answer...
We do offer a Curt Class III hitch for the 2023 Kia Sportage.
We offer the Curt 13485 as part # C94WR. According to Curt, the hitch fits all models of the 2023 Sportage, including the EV.
Per the linked install instructions, the hitch attaches to the frame members, using six M10 x 1.25 -35mm Class 10.9 bolts, four from the sides and two from the underside. The 2023 Sportage is the first model year of the 5th generation, so this would explain the differences in the number of attachment... view full answer...
