Gets the job done! Has a little wobble where a higher end model probably wouldn’t. I generally put 1 or 2 bikes on it but it can handle three. The included rubber tie downs will not hold a bike on securely on the highway. This is extremely hazardous and could lead to deadly results in a traffic situation if your bike falls off. So I use additional tie downs and straps to properly secure the bikes.

Fits perfectly! I could be an authorized installer in Miami for your products ??
by: Todd08/22/2023
Fit well on 2021 Kia Seltos LX. Packaging was torn and hitch was scratched up upon receiving. Painted it up and was fine. You don’t need to remove muffler to install as you can get hitch past muffler easy. I was a one guy install so held hitch in place by supporting each end with a bolt pushed in backwards at each end. I carefully used fish wire and did install. Everything lined up well and no real issues. Two people would be best.

The hitch installed as per the instructions. I was able to install it by myself but two people would make the job much easier. The hitch arrived on time with no problems. The hitch is mainly used to haul my bike rack.

First things first: This receiver checks all boxes as described by etrailer, and I could not be happier with the final product.
I am deducting 1 Star for an issue with installing the receiver. The instructions were detailed, simple to follow, and allowed for almost-seamless installation. Where I ran into a hiccup was when I had to install the nuts onto the bolts. Unfortunately, the receiver was about 1/4" too wide, resulting in a gap on the passenger side mounting area. This led to difficulty attaching the nuts onto the bolts, and unfortunately, a bolt falling into the tube frame of the vehicle.
Luckily, there exists the Internet. I was able to find instructions to remove the rear bumper and gain access to the open end of the tube frame. Retrieving and then installing the fallen bolt(s) proved tremendously easy once the bumper was out of the way.
In fact, I would argue that if you take this receiver to a body shop, and know that it will likely cost more in labor, instruct them to remove the rear bumper to install the receiver--as it is ten times easier.
You absolutely do not have to do this, and there may be a workaround to the 1/4" gap, but I was not so lucky.
I loved that etrailer provided the fish wire as well, even though I had assumed they would not provide it and purchased some for myself. Now I have backup at least! (Adding this in the "What's Included" section of the product may be helpful to others).
My last shortcoming was due to shipping. The shipping company damaged the product and box the receiver arrived in. Reading other reviews prior to purchase, it seems that I can spray paint the damaged areas with black rust-inhibiting paint. This is no fault of etrailer, and does not reflect their product or services (although more sturdy packaging could have avoided this...potentially).
All-in-all a 10 out of 10 product. I am excited to simply have the receiver, even if I do not have any immediate plans for it. I will include pictures below. I will be recommending etrailer products to others in the future, as well.

I am glad that the hitch was able to be installed. It sounds like that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment which is why the bolt holes are not lining up. This can happen while in transit to our facility or to you. We do have a great FAQ that provides ways to move the brackets back into alignment. I will let our shipping department know about the paint damage to the hitch. You have already done what I recommend by touching up the affected areas with a rust resistant paint.

by: Mitchell 07/10/2023
One year after I purchased this hitch, the seller contacted me to make sure it was working well for me. That is 5 start customer service. The answer is, YES, the hitch works great for my bicycle carrier. I would purchase again.
by: Bradley12/09/2020
Could easily be 5 stars but they Could do a better job supporting it during shipping, it showed up hanging out of the box with very little to help it not bang around in the shipping box. They also packaged the Carriage bolt spacers separately from the rest of the hardware and hid it in the receiver. Long story short I ended up having to fish the bolts through twice, besides that the directions and hitch were a straight forward nice looking Fit that was built very well.
I would do business with them again
by: Gage07/31/2023
This product helps me tow at least twice a week for the majority of the day. Absolutely no complaints. Super easy to install with very straightforward instructions! In fact I love this product so much I’m thinking of installing one on my other vehicle.

I installed this hitch myself and it took a little bit of time, but so far this hitch has been great for hauling a small trailer or boat. I would definitely recommend getting this hitch to anyone who's looking. I bout it for my 2022 Kia Seltos.

No issues so far. Works like it should. I'm happy with it.

I am very pleased with the product. I had my neighbor help with the install. We did not have to lower the exhaust. We were able worm the hitch into place without lowering the exhaust but it does make it a bit tight to insert and tightening the bolts on the exhaust side of the vehicle. It took us about an hour to install. I would highly recommend putting the vehicle on jack stands or a lift. Installed on a 2022 KIA Seltos
by: Brian 04/28/2021
The install was effortless. Did not have to lower exhaust as suggested. Used one carriage bolt to hold up opposite end while I installed one carriage bolt on the other end. One person install. Simple. Approx. 45 to 50 minutes total. Very precise instructions. After the install, used it to pull a trailer to Oklahoma (1200 miles round trip) No problem. I would recommend it.

A decent "hitch"... intended only for bike racks or similar, NOT for towing. Works great for our ebike rack but is limited to only 300 lb vertical loading. A good buy if that's what you're looking for. Recommended for it's intended purpose.

I bought this to go on my Kia Seltos to put 2 e-bikes on. The hitch was made very well and my girlfriend and I put it on. We have done a few 150-200 mile trips with both bikes and the hitch did very well. We are very happy with this hitch and if we need another hitch for another car I will buy another Curt...

- 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... - Is there a 2 Hitch for a 2023 Kia Seltos?No, there is not. The only hitch available for the 2023 Kia Seltos is the Curt item # C65FR. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts completely behind the rear bumper leaving only the 1-1/4" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but it helps with ground clearance.

- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Kia SeltosThe 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. Additionally, if you are looking to add...

This is a bolt-on installation with no welding required or drilling of new holes. It uses existing factory hardware to be mounted to holes that already exist. This is a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" Class I hitch with a max gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. and a max tongue weight of 200 lbs.

If this does not provide you with enough clearance, and your bike rack can also fit a 2" hitch, you may be able to use an extender like the # D189 assuming your bike rack permits the use of an extender. The only problem with this solution would be the reduction of the capacity of the hitch. Use of an extender will reduce the capacity by 50%, so your...

Because this carrier and its load are directly on the hitch itself, manufacturers will state the need for a 2" receiver and class III hitch. Some Class II hitches will have the 2" receiver and there are adaptors to change from the 1-1/4" to 2", such as the # HTAD but in doing so this cuts down the tongue weight capacity.
