etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2"

by: Kelly04/24/2024

2022 Kia Niro

Tucks up under the bumper nicely and was an easy install. We installed this on a 2022 Niro plug in hybrid. As others have mentioned, this will fit with just a little trimming on the hitch mount where it contacts the bit of unibody that is only present on the plug in hybrid.1772353

Have bought several notches and one wiring harness from etrailer, all were easy to install and have worked very well! Instructions are simple and they tell you up front the estimated time and difficulty level of installation. Prices are great too!1693451

Ordered over a holiday weekend, and it arrived in time for the next weekend install ! Etrailer had a good tracking system in their order confirmation response. Box took it tough, but no damage to the heavy duty hitch or bag of bolts.1663178

Great heavy hitch that fits ever so neatly under the Kia Niro. The spot-on precision of the design and manufacture is great.

Thanks to the informative video, the hitch is relatively straightforward to install if you have a helper and move the Kia off the ground a few inches by means of car ramps. I've done it on two Niro's and it is well within the capabilities of a handy DIYer.

As to function - the hitch is built to last. It works perfectly well with my Allen bicycle rack (carries up to 4 bicycles) and with an inexpensive cargo platform I got from Harbor Freight. By carrying stuff behind the Niro, instead on on a roof rack or in a roof pouch, you maintain good aerodynamics on the Kia and thus avoid a big hit on fuel efficiency (nearly 8 mpg I figure) when traveling a distance at highway speed. So in a certain number of trip miles the hitch will have paid for itself.1357264

Installed myself with help from a friend that had the proper tools. It took about an hour. Great product and was happy to save money/time by installing it myself. Etrailer is great and I'd totally order from them again.1713706

I put this on a 2021Kia Niro,installing it was very easy and not difficult. I am very happy with this hitch!1387465

I was happy with the packing and delivery. The hitch is sturdy and has a tough powder coating. I was especially happy with the installation video.It covered everything that I came across during the installation. Thanks!1667257

The hitch went on easily and came with everything I needed to install it. The fit was good and bike rack fits snugly. I was surprised to see that after about a year, the steel around the sleeve of the hitch had begun to rust, peeling the paint and flaking the top layer of metal. I live in New England, so I expected it to rust eventually, but it happened a lot faster than I thought it would. I would suggest that anyone living in areas with high road salt use be sure to grease and rinse the hitch regularly. I didn't, and it's coming back to haunt me.917177

We installed this on my sons Kia Nero EV. I know it's not specifically for the EV but we made it work. We had to cut a little piece of plastic (not noticeable from above), and we had to grind a little bit on one corner of the hitch to make it fit. Since they don't sell one for the EV I don't blame them for the fitment issue we had. I'm just happy we were able to make it work. I know we voided the warranty, but it works perfectly. He hauls a little aluminum fishing boat to the lake and the coast all the time.1643224

super quick and easy install... exact fit... only had to fight with the factory bolt holes a little. I can't wait to give this hitch a try1685736

I've had this hitch for my 2019 Kia Niro Plug-In hybrid for about a year.

The fit was a bit tight, and I needed to spread the ends a few millimeters in order to get the hitch to slide in place. Once I spread the ends though, the hitch slid nicely in place, taking about 15-30 min to install.

I've been using it for my Kuat bike rack most days since, and love the way the hitch looks and works!729076

The Curt hitch fit my Kia Niro perfectly! The video instructions were great to help me install this hitch in only a couple hours. Good tips were included in the video. I added the trailer wiring at the same time, just in case. My main use of this rack is to carry a 4-bike rack, which it does well.1610158

The hitch itself is very good and well thought out for making a pain free installation. The stars off here are due to the receipt of the hitch from etrailer that was challenging. They ship these in a manner that the hitch is prone to handling damage in transit by UPS and then expected me to accept this damaged item because it will be damaged during my use anyhow.1621917

My brother recommended etrailer when I decided to purchase a hitch kit for my 2019 Kia Niro. I plan to haul at least two dirt bikes and likely my camping gear from time to time. My need was sparked by spring cleaning when I realized how much junk needed hauled out of my life. I was impressed at how easy and accurate the search tool and the filters were. I found my make and model and the products that fit my vehicle so easily I was truly amazed. I immediately noticed that every product that etrailer sells had a list of very detailed reviews, installation videos, recommended tools and lots of other information. I purchased a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" and a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. I watched the accompanying video for the hitch installation one time all the way through. I was able to gather all the tools and get my vehicle set in just a few minutes. I revisited the video three or four times throughout the process. The hitch went on just as smoothly as the video showed and I am confident that it will reliably haul exactly what its rated for. The hitch fits nicely and is tucked safely below the fascia where you won't wack your ankles on it. It is clean, sturdy and rust resistant. I look forward to my first haul. I have yet to install the wiring harness but only because I ran out of time over the weekend. I will update my review when I have completed the installation of the wiring harness. 809702

Hitch did not fit perfectly as advertised. I had to grind in a few places to make it work1775100
