For your 2022 Kia Telluride EX I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e45ZR. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs and is also compatible with weight distribution should you wish to use it in the future. The matte black powder coat finish helps to hide dirt and dings when compared to a glossy finish. This hitch is made in the USA.
For wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring... view full answer...
To start off we will need to get a roof rack on your 2021 Kia Telluride for which I recommend the Yakima JetStream system which includes the following:
60" JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00426
BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR
Fit Kits - # Y06125 and # Y06165
Then for a ski/snowboard carrier I recommend going with 2 of the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR573. This can carry 3 pairs of skis or 2 boards so you would be able to use 1 for the skis and then 1 for the boards. I've attached... view full answer...
The trailer wiring kit I recommend you install on your 2022 Kia Telluride is the Curt T-Connector # CU94FR. This is an easy plug and play installation.
To mount your 4-Way connection next to your hitch receiver I recommend picking up the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202. If you don't already have a hitch, then I recommend the etrailer # e45ZR because of the matte black finish that looks sleek and tends to be more durable than the gloss finishes.
If you don't already have a ball... view full answer...
I can definitely get you set up with a roof rack. I am recommending a Thule roof rack for your 2022 Kia Telluride. It will consist of the following:
Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711420,
Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4, part # TH710601,
Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet - 186095, part # TH77JV, and the
Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4, part # TH450400.
This roof rack has a weight limit... view full answer...
The 2020 and 2021 Kia Telluride trailer wiring setups are the exact same. So yes all of the 2020 Kia Telluride models come with trailer pre-wiring so the # CU94FR that you referenced would fit and work great. view full answer...
You've got it.
You'll need to run some # 16-1-1 from the blue wire on the Curt 4-way to 7-way adapter # C96KR (57676) to the reverse light circuit on your 2021 Kia Telluride.
A circuit tester like # PTW2993 will help you to find the correct wire to splice into with a quick splice # SWC501746-1. view full answer...
As long as you have a 2 inch trailer hitch installed on your 2020 Kia Telluride like the Curt # C13420 the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18109 would fit and work well. We don't have any video or pictures we can share that show the fit, but based on the bumper clearance the Curt hitch provided when we installed it we know this carrier would fit and work really well.
I attached a picture of the Curt hitch installed on a similar Telluride for you to check out. You can see that there's quite... view full answer...
Since your 2021 Kia Telluride has a naked roof without side rails, I recommend going with Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 60" Long - Qty 2 # TH712500. You'll also need the appropriate Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH98ZE.
Since you mentioned adding a basket, I would look into the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs item # TH859XT. This is a popular and very nice option that will fit your roof very well. I attached a few demonstration videos or... view full answer...
The best brake controller option for a 2021 Kia Telluride would be a wireless one, the Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller part # C51180. The Curt Echo gets setup with your phone and then works automatically with the brake pedal in the vehicle. If needed, there is a manual override button in the app as well. This option (wireless) will be the only one for a Kia Telluride that does not require splicing. It will just simply plug into the rear trailer connector and you're done. view full answer...
Redarc is a great brand and a great choice for a brake controller in your 2022 Kia Telluride. I would specifically recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR and Universal Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED69FR. This proportional brake controller uses a 3-axis accelerometer so it can be mounted anywhere at any angle. The control knob won't take up any space inside of your vehicle and allows for quick adjustments of the braking power.

We can get your 2022 Kia Telluride set up with a brake controller, and the best option is the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.
There are a number of reasons the Echo # C51180 is the best, starting with its overall convenience. Hands down, it is the easiest brake controller on the market to use and install; you just plug it into the 7-way behind your Telluride, and then it gets set up and controlled via an app on your smartphone.
Going with the Echo also saves you... view full answer...
The best hitch for carrying your bike rack and cargo carrier is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e45ZR. This custom fit hitch has a 2" receiver and a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs. It also features a matte black powder coat finish. Not only does this give the hitch more of an OEM look, it also hides dirt and scratches better when compared to a glossy finish. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is made in the USA.
If you plan on doing any towing in the future, you might... view full answer...
There are a lot of great options for roof racks for your 2020 Kia Telluride, but unfortunately, none of them meet the 220 lbs weight capacity you are looking for. 165 lbs is a common weight limit for roof rack systems. This is usually because of the limitations of the mounting system. Your vehicle roof and typically the actual crossbars themselves can be rated for 220 lbs but the mounting feet that attaches the bars to your roof might be rated for less, so this becomes the limit for the... view full answer...
You could use the # ETBC7 to just install the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 if you wanted to but you'd have more parts than you'd need so it might be easier just to use the # 37185 as the adapter and then run 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) through a breaker like part # 9510 to the positive post of your battery.
The # ETBC7 comes with those three parts but it also comes with extra relays and parts you wouldn't need. Another option would be just the part # ETBC7L and the... view full answer...
I have a great solution for you. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391KIATELL20 is a confirmed fit for your 2022 Kia Telluride. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" hitch receiver which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers. But, the best part of this hitch for you is that the hitch receiver is removable so there is no part of the hitch visible on your Telluride.... view full answer...
I recommend installing the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1125R on the rear suspension of your 2024 Kia Telluride. These fit in between the coils to provide some additional support and help reduce sag. They require no maintenance or adjustment so you will not have any additional steps to perform. view full answer...
There is one bike rack I really like for that will work great for your Electra Townie Go! 8i bike, which is from Saris:
- Saris Freedom Bike Rack # SA4412B
The Freedom has a 60 lb per-bike capacity, which can handle your Townie, and has cradles that you can position at different spots that allow it to grasp your Townie's step-through frame. It also weighs just 22-1/2 lbs so it is extremely lightweight, making it much easier to handle than any other bike rack capable of carrying your Townie.... view full answer...
I have a solution for you that will allow you to carry three 65 lbs e-bikes on your 2021 Kia Telluride.
My recommendation is using the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long - 1,640 lbs, part # K2MMT5X7. The trailer has a ramp and it tilts to aid in the loading and unloading. It has a maximum payload capacity of 1,640 lbs and the trailer itself weighs 451 lbs.
Once you have the trailer, you will need three of the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - 1 Bike,... view full answer...
I will start by saying that the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR is definitely a great option for a brake controller. This can handle up to 6 brakes (3 axles) and has one of the cleanest looks after being installed, if not the cleanest, as only the adjustment/manual override knob will be visible. If I were in the need of a brake controller in my truck, this is absolutely the controller I would go with.
With that said, to get this powered and working properly, you will first need to start... view full answer...
From a capacity, cost and quality standpoint the US made etrailer Class III hitch, part # e45ZR would be the best choice, in my opinion. The hitch provides a 5000 lb towing/750 lb tongue weight capacity and features a durable matte powder coat finish.
For future towing needs, you'll want to add a trailer wiring harness like # CU94FR, a ball mount like # 2753 and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2-inch ball.
