The two hitches that fit your 2013 Kia Soul - the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11110 and Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24839 - are very similar. Sportframe is just what Draw-Tite calls some of their hitches, so it really means that it is a Class I or II hitch (in this case a Class I).
The Curt is also a Class I and the only difference between the two is we found the Draw-Tite had better bumper and ground clearances when we installed both on a '13 Kia Soul. Because of... view full answer...
Your 2022 Kia Telluride is compatible with hitch receivers from Curt and etrailer. Here are the main features of each option.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # C13420, has a maximum tongue weight of 750 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs. The center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper is 4" and it measures 15-3/4" from the ground to the top inside of the receiver tube. It also comes with a glossy black powder coated finish... view full answer...
While very similar there are few key differences between the two Draw Tite hitches that fit your 2013 Kia Optima. The part # 24965 costs less but has a more in-depth install which requires underbody panel trimming/removal.
The part # 24853 will install in almost half the time and does not require trimming of underbody.
I attached install videos for both hitches as well. view full answer...
There are only some minor differences between the two trailer hitch receivers for your 2022 Kia Carnival, which are the following part numbers:
- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT34GR
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67ER
One of those minor differences is the install, in which the Curt has you trim and reinstall the trim panel that is underneath your Carnival, while you'll leave it off completely for the Draw-Tite. However, you do not have to reinstall the panel with the... view full answer...
The A-iPower 2,000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator part # 289-SUA2000i uses a Senci 79CC Engine which is indeed a clone of the Yamaha MZ80. That said, I wouldn't say it is inferior as they are very comparable with the Senci option being much more cost effective. It really comes down to paying for the name in all honesty. view full answer...
The part number TH991001 you referenced is a version of the Thule Raceway that is not sold in the US whereas the part # TH9001PRO is sold here and is a fit for your 2011 Kia Soul so it would be the way to go. These are both discontinued. The newest version of this line is the OutWay. It comes in a 2- Bike # TH45JV, a 3-Bike # TH56BV, and a Platform model # TH65JV. Take a look at the attached video to see all of the great new features. This line is the most popular and the absolute... view full answer...
There are four upgrades you'll find on the Thule # TH45JV Outway that you won't find on the # TH910XT Passage.
The OutWay provides an upgraded cradling system that are padded a bit heavier for better protection for your bike. The OutWay also includes an integrated cable lock and a for both the bikes and the rack to deter theft. Next, it attaches to the vehicle with retractable straps so you do not have extra strap flying around. And finally, The OutWay uses only 2 straps instead of... view full answer...
There are indeed a couple options for a Thule roof rack for your 2023 Kia Telluride, with the difference being the crossbars and how they mount. I have added a couple photos for you showing the difference in how they look (note the photos are of the crossbars in silver but they also come in black).
One of them will have flush-mounted crossbars which are shorter (front bar is 41" long & rear bar is 37-1/2" long) but give your '23 Telluride a bit more overall contoured look, while the other... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver 24940 and # 24965 both will fit 2011 to 2017 Kia Optima models. The only difference between them really is that the # 24965 will also fit 2018 Hyundai Sonata's excluding the hybrid as well where the discontinued part 24940 only fit Sonata models through 2017.
There is no difference for your 2016 Kia Optima, so I recommend the less expensive of the two.
If you will be using this hitch receiver for towing, I recommend the ball mount # 3593... view full answer...
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118583 is a plug and play kit whereas the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter part # C59236 would require you to splice into wires on the vehicle which I do not recommend. They would function the same but installation is very different. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness is absolutely what I recommend you use on your 2019 Kia Sorento.
In regards to the 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat Adapter part # ETBC7 and Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185,... view full answer...
If the option is available, we always recommend going with a Class III. A Class III hitch will feature the more common 2 inch receiver opening that has many more compatible accessories available. In the case of your 2014 Sorento, the Class III hitch is actually a few dollars less expensive. The ground clearance for either hitch would be identical.
Both hitches have plenty of capacity for your needs, and the Class III actually has a capacity that is higher than the 3500 lb tow rating of... view full answer...
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118698 is what I recommend for a 2018 Kia Sportage. In comparison to the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56321, the T-One has a different converter box which is easier to secure and more reliable (better potting). It also has an integrated dust cap as opposed to separate on the T-Connector which can easily be lost. view full answer...
Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-522115-4 fits the Kia Soul with manual transmission for model years 2017 through 2019.
For 2014 through 2016 model years a different crossbar style kit, EZ4 part # RM-522114-4, is specified. These will not differ much in terms of installation but the instructions for both are linked so you can review and compare and then decide for yourself.

All the hitches available for your 2013 Sorento have the same 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacity. Although they're designed a bit differently, in my opinion none of the hitches would have a strength or quality advantage over another.
The Draw-Tite # 75684 and the Curt # C13073 would be partially visible under the back bumper, but most feel that the round tube Curt # C13073 looks better. None of the hitches would be a fit for vehicles with a dual exhaust featuring a tailpipe on... view full answer...
The third attachment point for Curt trailer hitch # C13073 for your 2013 Kia Sorento SX might help to keep the hitch from rotating but it is more there out of necessity due to the L-shaped frame brackets. That design is no more or less beneficial than trailer hitch # 75684 with its 4 total attachment points.
Trailer hitch # 75684 is actually more versatile since it is rated for use with weight distribution whereas Curt hitch C13073 is not, even with its additional bolts. And if you were... view full answer...
I'll go over the only real difference between the Curt and Draw-Tite trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2023 Kia Sportage, though first, here are the part numbers for the hitches that fit:
- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT22MR
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94WR
As for the difference, the only one these two is that the Draw-Tite has a mounting tab for a wiring harness. This makes it simple to use Mounting Bracket # 18144 to install the 4-way that fits your '23 Sportage,... view full answer...
I personally like the Curt Hitch # C13281 over the etrailer # e72TR for your 2022 Kia Sportage because the safety chain loops sit out to the side on the Curt but they sit under the receiver for the etrailer which means you'll have less ground clearance. Check out the attached photos to see what I'm talking about.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the RockyMounts WestSlope # RKY10222 which I really like for it's U-Shaped frame because it makes it much easier... view full answer...
For Class I hitches like the Draw Tite part # 24915 which is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Kia Soul you have to go with the recommended ball mount by the manufactuer otherwise the warranty of the hitch is voided. So for your vehicle you have to use the ball mount # 3593 which has a 2-1/8 inch rise.
For a 2 inch ball part # 19258 or for a 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256.
If you need wiring then you'd want the part # 118637 which I attached an install video for. view full answer...
The Curt trailer hitch # C13195 and Draw-Tite hitch # 75908 have similar designs and install the same way. Customers like the finish on the Curt hitch more. The biggest different is the tongue weight capacity of each of the hitches. The Curt hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 750 pounds and the Draw-Tite is rated at 500 pounds.
But you have to go by the lowest rated component in the system. According to the owner's manual the Kia Sorento has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 280... view full answer...
