- Yes, the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches will work with your 2 Specialized Como 3 step-thru bikes. Your bikes' frames will be able to attach to the adjustable cradles on the mast of the rack. One thing to note about the EasyFold XT is that it has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 65 pounds. I recommend you check with your bike's owner's manual to confirm that your weight falls under this maximum.

- The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C89KR for your 2021 Kia Seltos connects to the back of both the drivers side and passenger side tail lights. You will need to run the green wire with the plugs up to the passenger side tail light. I have linked a installation video below which shows the installation performed on a similar Hyundai Tucson since they are on the same chassis. They do not show the removal of the passenger tail light as it is similar to the removal of the drivers...

- The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 will fit your 2022 Kia Seltos if your version of the vehicle has the raised side rails with space underneath them - Malone calls this out on their website as well. If you have the naked roof or the flush rails (even tall rails with no space underneath them) then you cannot use the AirFlow2.
From our previous interaction it sounds like you have the flush rails with no space underneath them on your Seltos. Thule has a roof rack fit that's probably the...
view full answer... - Which Thule Roof Rack System For a 2021 Kia Seltos With Sunroof
- I reached out to Thule directly and confirmed that the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar 47 inch # TH711220 which is the replacement for the Thule AeroBlade will fit your 2021 Kia Seltos. Thule's recommendation was to not use your sun roof with the crossbar installed, but if you do use the sun roof make sure to go slow to avoid possible damage.
To install the Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbar # TH711220 on your 2021 Kia Seltos you will need the Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH460R, and Thule...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver and Vehicle Wiring Harness Compatibility With a 2021 Kia Seltos
- For your Seltos I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT65GR. This 2" receiver is custom fit for all trims levels of your Seltos and will attach your frame using existing holes that are already in your frame. There will be some minor trimming of an underbody panel to complete the installation. I have linked a copy of those instructions below for you to reference as we currently do not have an installation video for your Seltos.

view full answer... - Recommended Class I Hitch for a 2023 Kia Seltos
- The best hitch for your 2023 Kia Seltos is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C65FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware.
I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your bumper cover leaving only the 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver visible.
This is a class I hitch, with a 1-1/4" receiver, that weighs 27 lbs. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight.
I have linked a couple of pictures below, along with...
view full answer... - 2021 And 2024 Kia Seltos - Will C65FR Hitch Installation Process Be The Same?
- Yes, the installation video of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C65FR will be virtually identical between the 2021 and 2024 models of the Kia Seltos. This trailer hitch has been confirmed for the 2024 model, and there will not be any additional steps required for this model year. We just have not got our hands on a 2024 model yet in order to shoot a video.
Keep in mind that you will have to do some trimming of the plastic underbody panel during installation. I have linked our 2021 install video,...
view full answer... - What Crossbar System do You Recommend for My 2022 Kia Seltos with Flush Rails?
- I have a great solution for you. You are absolutely justified to have a concern about the fitment of the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215 on a 2022 Kia Seltos with flush factory rails. I confirmed with Malone that they do not currently do not have an engineered fitment of any Malone system (including the AirFlow 2) on a 2022 model Kia Seltos.
With that being said, I confirmed with Thule that this crossbar setup will be a great fit for your 2022 Kia Seltos with flush rails:

view full answer... - Can Thule EasyFold XT BIke Rack Work With Curt Hitch on 2023 Kia Seltos
- Nope; your 2023 Kia Seltos can 100 percent use the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR.
I can certainly see where you're coming from with your analysis, but the 200 lb tongue weight capacity of the # C65FR does not get reduced when using an accessory. The EasyFold # TH903202 weighs 45 lbs and if it is loaded with the max of two 65 lb bikes you're at 175 lbs, so you're still under the tongue weight.
view full answer... - Does Trailer Hitch Recevier for 2021 Kia Seltos Require Drilling Into Frame
- No drilling into the frame of your 2021 Kia Seltos is required in order to install the trailer hitch receiver that fits it, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR.
This is a bolt-on installation and uses existing holes in your Kia's frame to install, which is why you don't have to drill.
If you plan on doing some light towing with this hitch and your '21 Seltos, there are a few other parts you'll need, which are the following:
- Vehicle Wiring Harness # C89KR
- Curt Drawbar # C45521

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Kia Seltos
- The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2021 Kia Seltos is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR.
I really like this hitch because its crosstube is concealed behind the bumper, as you can see by the accompanying photo. That means that only the receiver is going to show, which maintains the clean look of your '21 Seltos.
I have added a link to the installation instructions for you to check out as well of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR.

- The trailer wiring harness that fits your 2021 Kia Seltos is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C89KR.
Along with the wiring harness, the trailer hitch that fits your '21 Seltos is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR.
It sounds like you are planning to do some towing so you will also need the Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521 with Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # C23517 or Pin and Clip # F-4 to secure it to your hitch. For a hitch ball you will need either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball #...
view full answer... - Ground Clearance Of Hitch On 2021 Kia Seltos Compared to Kia Soul
- We have not yet had a chance to install a hitch on a 2021 Kia Seltos, specifically the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C65FR so I do not know specific ground clearance measurements. However, you will not have the same clearance issues you had with the Kia Soul with the Curt trailer hitch on a Seltos. The Seltos has about a 1-1/2" more ground clearance in the back compared to a Kia Soul. The Curt hitch also sits flush with the bumper and does not hang down. I have attached an installation...
view full answer... - Will the Malone AirFlow 2 Crossbars Fit on My Flush Factory Rails on a 2021 Kia Seltos?
- I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 will only fit 2021 Kia Seltos models with raised factory rails or bare roofs. However, a great alternative roof rack that will fit consists of the following parts:
- Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 47" Long - Qty 2 # TH712200
- Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point - Qty 4 # TH460R
- Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3181 # TH25JV

view full answer... - Yakima Roundbar Roof Rack System Options For A 2024 Kia Seltos LX
- Yakima currently only has confirmed fits for 2024 Kia Seltos models if they have raised or flush side rails so the naked roof towers # Y28TR you were looking at don't currently have a fit kit to make them work yet.
If you have raised side rails then you would need TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR in order to use the RoundBar SL Adapter # Y03536 and Yakima RoundBar Crossbars # Y00408. If you have flush mount side rails then you would need the SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars...

view full answer... - What Length of Thule WingBars Do I Need for My 2021 Kia Seltos?
- I have an answer for you. The recommended maximum Thule crossbar length for your 2021 Kia Seltos is the 50-inch Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711300 (silver) or # TH711320 (black). However, we do carry longer bars that are confirmed to fit your vehicle just fine from different manufacturers. With that being said, If you have the 53-inch Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars # TH711400 (silver) or # TH711420 (black), you will be just fine.
As far as the feet you need for your Thule WingBars, you...

- Yes! You can use the Wingbar Evo Crossbars # TH711220 with the Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R and then this fit kit # TH25JV which will mount into her flush rail feet! These will be just as low profile and mount similarly to her flush rails as the Rola REX mounting roof rack 59786.
