The largest cargo carrier we have that will work with your 2011 Kia Optima is the 20x60 Rola Packer Cargo Carrier part # 63155 which has dimensions of 47" long x 20" wide. The reason that this is the largest cargo carrier we have for your Optima is because they only offer class I trailer hitches for this vehicle, the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch part # 24965 or the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch part # C11025.
The above class I trailer hitches then have a maximum... view full answer...
The only trailer hitch receivers available for your 2013 Kia Optima are Class I with a 1-1/4" receiver opening.
The two options available are the Curt # C11025, and Draw-Tite # 24965. Between these two options I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24965 due to it not requiring a stabilization strap when carrying a non-trailered load.
You will need to make sure that the accessories you use are compatible with a Class I receiver. If you are planning on using a bike rack I recommend the Hollywood... view full answer...
First, LED lights do draw a fraction of the amperage compared to incandescent lights. But going with either 16 gauge or 14 gauge wire would work. I would say if you use incandescent bulbs then 14 would be the better option and 16 gauge for LED lights. view full answer...
Electric bikes like your Pedego Commuter bikes tend to weigh quite a bit. The Thule Camber # TH9058 that you referenced can only hold bikes that weigh up to 37.5 lbs each. Since most hanging bike racks have a max weight capacity of 35-37.5 lbs per bike you will need to use a platform bike rack that can accommodate the extra weight.
I called Pedego and spoke with one of their reps who said that they recommend using the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV as this bike rack has a weight capacity of... view full answer...
We have just what you need to secure the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack, part # S64650 to your trailer hitch.
I recommend the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin, part # S64029. This will replace the hitch pin you have for your bike carrier and also provide an anti-rattle solution. view full answer...
The door clamp style of roof racks like the Inno part # INB137, # INSUT, and # INK685 do not allow water to leak into the vehicle. If you check out the picture I attached you can see that the clamp actually fits above the door seal. view full answer...
For your 2012 Kia Optima the Draw Tite hitch part # 24965 is the current Draw Tite hitch fit. The 24940 was the older version of this hitch that fit your vehicle. view full answer...
I have another option for you, but at this time there is not a trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2020 Kia Niro EV.
Instead I recommend using a trunk bike rack like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02633 which is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will accommodate bikes weighing up to 35lbs each, but if carrying 3 bikes you are limited to 90lbs total.
I included a video of the # Y02633 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
As you probably noticed, there are only two trailer hitches available for your 2012 Kia Optima and both are Class I models with a 1-1/4" receiver. Between the two options I recommend the Curt # C11025 because of its superior powder coat finish that will do a better job of resisting rust and corrosion over time.
Trailer hitch manufacturers typically try to match up the hitch size/capacity to the capacities on the vehicle(s) they are designed to fit. This helps to keep customers from potentially... view full answer...
There are not 12 inch wheel available in the style you desire, however there are 13 inch wheels. I recommend the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20214. We have the combined wheel and tire option for you in the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Black Wheel with +.5 Offset - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D # AM31241 rated for a maximum load of 1610 lbs at 65 psi each.
Then you can use the Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center... view full answer...
Yes, actually all of the roof racks we carry for your 2011 Kia Optima are confirmed to fit with the panoramic roof like our most popular option the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK283. I really like this rack because you get the quality of the higher end roof racks like Thule and Yakima but at a much more affordable price.
For a kayak carrier the Thule part # TH834 would be a great option confirmed as a fit for this rack as well. view full answer...
The 4-way of the trailer wiring harness part # 118453 would get stored in the trunk area of your 2012 Kia Optima when not in use. When you needed it you would pull the 4-way out and close the trunk over the wires. The thick rubber seal of the trunk prevents the wiring from getting damaged.
Having it store in the trunk also prevents the possibility of the wiring getting damaged by debris in the road or corrosion from water/weather. view full answer...
If you installed the Curt harness part # C56314 on your 2013 Kia Optima you would be able to use it as a way to splice in additional taillights if needed.
The white wire would get grounded. The brown would go for the running lights, the yellow for left turn/stop, and the green for right turn/stop.
Essentially what you would be doing would be just like powering a trailers taillights so this harness would work just fine.
To isolate out the stop light you would need the converter part # 118158. view full answer...
For a reasonably priced roof rack I recommend the Inno Roof Rack # INXB108-115, # INXS200, and # INK607. This roof rack features Black low-profile aerodynamic crossbars and the rack has locks to secure the rack to your roof.
We have several cargo boxes that will work with the Inno roof rack. First I recommend the Thule Pulse # TH614. This is a 14-cu ft. roof box that measures 67-inches x 35-inches x 16-inches, and has a 110-lb capacity. I have attached a link to an installation video... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Class I hitch you referenced, part # 24965, would work well as long as the weight of the trailer plus its cargo was less than the 2000 lb capacity of the hitch. You'll also want to make sure that the weight of the trailer plus whatever's loaded on it doesn't exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle itself. I checked an online copy of the owner's manual for the Optima's towing capacity, but wasn't able to find any capacity listed, so you'll need to check with your Kia dealer.

I do have an anti-rattle device that will work on a 1-1/4 inch hitch, but the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 that you referenced is designed to only work on 2 inch hitches and would not work for you.
Check out the No-Rattle Trailer Hitch Wedge # RM-061-125. This product will work on your 1-1/4 inch hitch. view full answer...
When it comes to a roof rack for your daughter's 2013 Kia Optima, we have several options available. I have attached a link which includes all of the roof racks for her Optima.
For a basic but quality option, I recommend taking a look at the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with Vortex Crossbars, # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK283. This system is lightweight yet durable and easy to install.
For an aerodynamic rack that provides a much quieter ride, take a look at our Thule WingBar... view full answer...
For your 2013 Kia Optima Turbo the Curt hitch # C11025 that you referenced is a confirmed fit. This has a 2,000 lb capacity so it would easily be able to tow a 1,000 lb jet ski. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118453 as it installs easily and has a very reliable converter box. For a ball mount you'd then want the part # C45521 and for hitch balls part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for... view full answer...
My personal favorites are racks that use the aero style crossbars. Not only do these bars look great but since they are also aerodynamic, the amount of wind noise that you experience is greatly reduced. In order to install this style of rack on your 2006.5 Kia Optima, you will need Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black # RR33SR as a custom fit. view full answer...
Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24965 is rated for 2,000 pound gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight. However, you will need to consult the vehicle owners manual to determine the capacity of the 2013 Kia Optima. Whichever is lower, the hitch or the vehicle, is the capacity you will need to go by.
You will need the proper ball mount. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. Different wiring harnesses have different capacities. Tow Ready harness # 118453... view full answer...
