  • Can a 2012 Kia Sorento be Towed Using a Tow Dolly
  • I looked up an online version of the owner's manual for a 2012 Kia Sorento and I found that it can be towed with a tow dolly with the front wheels off the ground only if it is the automatic transmission 2WD version. A 4WD Sorento needs to be towed with all 4 wheels off the ground. I found this on page 6-16, but you will want to check your own copy to make sure and for any special instructions. We currently have 2 options for a tow dolly and both are from Roadmaster. One is the Roadmaster...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2016 Kia Sorento with Flush Rails to Carry Cargo Bag
  • The Rightline Gear Sport 2 # RL100S20 basically fits all roof styles aside from what you have unfortunately. It fits naked roofs, raised rails, and roofs with crossbars, but does not fit with flush rails as the mounting hardware of the bag would have to fit over the flush rails to the vehicle which would pull it up slightly. So you'd need to attach a roof rack to the flush rails of your vehicle. Which for that the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX023 would be a...

  • Recommended 4-Way Wiring Harness for a 2023 Kia Sorento
  • Yes, we do have a 4-way wiring harness for your 2023 Kia Sorento. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 118269. This custom fit wiring harness plugs into your Sorento's factory tow package behind your driver's side rear wheel. If you do not have the tow package you need part # TK26FR. Tekonsha makes the most reliable wiring harnesses in the towing business. This wiring harness uses plug in connectors that eliminate any need to cut or splice wires. I have attached...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Kia Sorento
  • Both the Curt item # C34ER and the etrailer item # e28AR trailer hitches are confirmed to fit your 2022 Kia Sorento SX. These hitches are identical except for the paint finish and are custom fit to bolt to your Kia with included hardware. Both have a 2" x 2" class III receiver. I recommend the etrailer item # e28AR hitch because of the matte black powder coat finish. The flat paint allows the hitch to blend in better with the trim on your vehicle and it will save you some money. I have...

  • 2018 Kia Sorento Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Roof Cargo Box
  • To carry any rooftop cargo box, like the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629906, on any vehicle you will need a roof rack. It sounds like the 2018 Kia Sorento has the flush mounted rails so I recommend using a Thule WingBar Evo roof rack: 47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711220 or Silver # TH711200 Evo Flush Rail Feet - # TH710601 Fit Kit - # TH186033 Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional) This gives you a way to secure the cargo box to the roof of your Sorento by utilizing...

  • Does Rhino Rack Vortex Rack Fit a 2016 Kia Sorento with Sunroof and Side Rails
  • For your 2017 Kia Sorento the Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX023 is a confirmed fit. It will also allow the sunroof to open since the bars will be high enough not to interfere. I pulled up pictures of your vehicle with the sunroof open and it does not stick up hardly at all.

  • Can An RV Fireplace Be Powered By An Inverter
  • A 3000 watt inverter should be rated for 25 amps at 120v or 250 amps at 12v which would be well above what a 1500 watt fireplace would pull. You would need to look at the battery capacity to determine how long it could power the inverter and fireplace. RV fireplaces, like Greystone 26" Electric Fireplace with Crystals # 324-000068, will typically require a 15 amp outlet so I recommend checking the power draw of the fireplace and the capacities of the inverter in order to determine if it...

  • Best Hitch for a Mobility Scooter Lift on a 2014 Kia Sorento
  • A class II hitch will have a 1-1/4" receiver and will most likely not have the ability to support your scooter lift. Instead, I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98841. The etrailer hitch is a class III and has a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight. This is our most popular hitch for your Sorento. It has a matte black finish that matches your Kia and is more durable than the glossy black finish on other options. I have linked an installation video and also a picture...

The link at right will let you see all hitches and fits for your Sorento.

The Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670 will fit this 2-inch hitch, and since it is also compatible with 1-1/4-inch...

  • Will Tekonsha 7 Way Trailer Wiring Harness for 2021 Kia Sorento Work Without Tow Package
  • I do have an option for you but there isn't a plug and play seven way trailer connector option for a 2021 Kia Sorento without the factory tow package therefore no, the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7 Way Trailer Connector part # TK24FR will not work. Instead, you'll need to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # TK26FR with an adapter such as the 4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7L. Please note, just because you don't...

  • Will a CURT Trailer Hitch Fit a 2012 Kia Sorento SX with Single Exhaust
  • The CURT Trailer Hitch # C13073, is designed to fit on your 2012 Kia Sorento SX since it has single exhaust, with only minor heat shield modification required under the vehicle. For the hitch to install properly, the heat shield will need to be cut and reinstalled. You will remove about 8 inches from the heat shield and you can use aviator shears to trim it. I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you. If you plan on doing...

  • Custom Fit Vehicle Cover Options for a 2013 Kia Sorento

This cover offers the best all-weather protection for your Sorento. This cover does not have a zipper for the drivers side door. At this time we do not have a custom fit vehicle cover with a zip-away door that will fit your vehicle. We do have some semi-custom car covers with zip-away driver doors, but at...

  • Will The Malone AirFlow 2 Crossbars Work On Oval Rails On A 2013 Kia Sorento?
  • The Malone Air Flow 2 # MPG215 is not confirmed to fit your 2013 Kia Sorento but I don't see why they wouldn't fit. I have a roof rack that is confirmed to fit, it's the Yakima FlushBar system # Y00457-2 and the Custom Fit Kit # Y00158. These will be a lot lower profile and have more of an OEM look. It has all of the features as the Air Flow 2 but is a more premium and better option.

  • 2019 Kia Sorento Roof Cargo Box Recommendation that Will Allow Rear Hatch to Open
  • The Yakima Rocketbox Pro 14, part # Y07192 is the best option for your 2019 Kia Sorento. This box requires 45 inches of front crossbar clearance to use on your roof. Measure from the center of the front crossbar back to the rear hatch seam. If that distance is more than 45 inches this box will fit and work great. This is about as good of clearance as you'll find! I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2016 Kia Sorento
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13073 does not come in different widths and is specifically designed for 2011 - 2013 Kia Sorento's. For your 2016 Sorento you are going to want the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98843 as you can see from the product pictures these two hitches are designed completely different to custom fit your Sorento. The etrailer hitch does have twice the capacity as the Curt one. If you need a wiring harness to control your trailer or accessories...
