Rugged, Matte Black Finish
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.by: Steven03/12/2024
Fit 95% perfectly. One hole on each side was about 1/32 of an inch off and it was very difficult getting that one bolt started. Other than that I am very happy with the product. Because of that it took about 45 minutes to remove factory hitch and install the new one. Had to go from the 1 and 1/4 to the 2" so I can add a power lift for my mobility scooter.

This hitch receiver was delivered in 3 days from when I ordered it, took 25 minutes to install by myself. Very easy instal and looks great!

We needed a tow hitch for your vehicle and I found this one with good ratings. Overall the installation was as easy as possible - I just backed the car towards the garage since we have a nice angle on the driveway. I got to work and followed the instructions. This really is an easy install. Took about 45 minutes because I needed to get assistance to thread the first two bolts. Jacking up the vehicle is highly recommended if you can. Overall I'm satisfied with the ordering process, the quality of the tow hitch and the great customer service.

Etrailer’s website is so easy to navigate, shipping was instantaneous and I was given tracking info immediately. I think this is my third purchase, and not my last. And phone numbers are given in emails if there is a problem and you want to talk to a real person! That’s something you don’t see much of anymore. The paper instructions were correct, but I wanted to watch a video on the install for clarity, sure enough the first one that comes up when I searched YouTube was from Etrailer. Ryan was the “star” of the video and cleared up any confusion I had on the steps to mount the hitch receiver. Exhaust system support was a concern until I saw what Ryan did/suggested. Such a smooth process from beginning to end. Totally satisfied!

The etrailer hitch is an excellent addition to Little Boy Blue, my 2022 KIA Sportage. The installation, done in my driveway, took less than an hour, and since I have no friends, I was forced to install it by myself. An overturned bucket was my assistant. The hitch is high-quality, a breeze to install, and adds significant value to my vehicle. By the way, it's my second DIY hitch from etrailer. The Red Baron, my departed 2008 KIA Sportage, was also outfitted with an etrailer hitch. All in all, a five-star item for sure.

Looks great fits pretty well. The side rail bolt holes don't line up but all four bottom rail bolts fit as indicated. I'm not towing anything major just a basket with luggage so it should do the trick for me but didn't fully bolt in.

Regarding the bolt holes not lining up, sometimes a hitch can become flexed in the shipping process. This is a common occurrence, so much so that we actually have a help article on how to corrected mild flexing. I have attached the link to that article. Just wanted to send you that information because it is important to make sure the hitch is installed the way the manufacturer outlines. It is a safety concern and the integrity of the hitch is compromised if the instructions are not followed all the way. I understand you may not be hauling very much but in the name of safety I just wanted to reach out to you.

2010 Kia Sportage
For a 2020 KIA Sportage base model. Another review mentioned having to drop the back end of the muffler/exhaust but I did not find that necessary. I did spend about 10 minutes maneuvering to find the perfect position and levering the muffler aside, then the hitch slipped in perfectly. I should have used something to clean the threads on the nutplates on the car first but in the end all the bolts went in fine.

Very easy to install with the help of a small jack and some patients the hitch was in with in a 45 minute window. Worth the money.

A well-made trailer hitch!

2019 Kia Sportage
I have a 2019 KIA Sportage STI Turbo. The hitch fit perfectly. Note that there was no need to remove the bottom rear corner splash shields. The bolts can be forced into place without doing so and that is good because there are screws from above that require interior trim to be removed before you can get to them. Also, no need to hang muffler using rope or anything. The mid pipe hanger will hold the rear section. I bought a muffler hanger tool and it was worth the money. Spray a little soapy water. This is a step that I had trouble with in the past on other jobs.

- Parts Needed to Add 7-Way for Towing Tear Trailer With 2018 Kia SportageTo add a 7-Way to your 2018 Kia Sportage you'll need to start off with a 4-Way flat which carries the basic trailer light functions. For that I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118698 simply because we have found the T-One harnesses to be the best. This tees in behind your tail lights and then draws power straight from your battery to power the trailer lights. The next step is to add the 7-Way wiring to the 4-Way flat. The kit you need for this will depend on what type of brake controller...
view full answer... - Ball Mount with a 4 Inch Rise for a 2017 Kia SportageBased on the installation video we did for etrailer hitch # e72TR on a 2017 Kia Sportage, see link, the distance from the ground to the top of the receiver opening is 13 inches. This means to get 17 inches you would need a ball mount with 4 inches of rise. But it also depends on how you are measuring. On the trailer use its jack to make the trailer level. Then measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. It is measured this way because the ball fits up inside the coupler and thus...
view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Kia Sportage SX TurboThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13281 and etrailer Hitch Receiver part # e72TR are both fits for a 2020 Kia Sportage SX Turbo. They will actually work on all models. The Curt hitch is best for bike racks and cargo carriers and the etrailer hitch is best for towing.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Kia Sportage LXWhen installing the etrailer Hitch Receiver # e72TR on your 2021 Kia Sportage LX you will not need to trim any of the underbody panels. You will just need to remove one underbody panel on the driver side and not re install it. The Curt # C13281 you were looking at allows you to re install that underbody trim panel so I recommend going with that hitch instead. If you are planning on towing with your Sportage you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # 118698 which will plug into the...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Kia Sportage Towing and CarrierYour 2021 Kia Sportage LX is capable of towing 1,653 lbs with a maximum tongue rating of 200lbs. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13281 is the one I would recommend for you. The 2" receiver that this hitch has will give you a wider variety of options for ball mounts and drops. It also does not hang down as low as the etrailer # e72TR, this will limit the chance of dragging on tall curbs. For the Tekonsha Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118698. It uses a powered...
view full answer... - Will The Tekonsha 4-Way Wiring Harness From a 2017 Kia Sportage Fit The 2022 Kia Sportage?Yes, the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118698 from your 2017 Kia Sportage can be used on new 2022 Kia Sportage. The 2017 was the first year of the redesigned Sportage that is still under production. That is why the etrailer Hitch Receiver # e72TR will also fit your new Sportage. I do recommend ordering a Replacement Hardware Kit # RHK for your receiver as the bolts are a one time use fastener and should not be reused. You may also need new 12 Gauge Wire # 12-1-1 (sold per...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2021 Kia Sportage to Haul a Carrier w/ a RampI would be happy to help you set up your 2021 Kia Sportage with a hitch for a cargo carrier with a ramp. I recommend the etrailer hitch item # e72TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Kia with included hardware. I picked this hitch because it has the highest tongue weight capacity of the hitches available for your Kia. I have linked an installation video below. For a carrier with a ramp you will want the 32x48 Reese Steel Solo Cargo Carrier and Folding Ramp item # PS10401-10402....

I I linked a video that shows when we installed it recently so you can see the process. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2017 Kia SportageThe Kia Souls and Sportages are very different vehicles so a hitch from one would not fit the other. For the 2017 Sportage you would want the etrailer # e72TR which is a confirmed fit and would work well.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch And Bike Rack For Heavy E-Bikes On A 2020 Kia SportageYes, you can certainly carry two E-bikes on the back of your 2020 Kia Sportage. I recommend installing the etrailer class 3 hitch # e89YR. This hitch has a 525 lb tongue weight capacity so more than enough for 2 heavy bikes and a bike rack. The hitch has a durable matte black powder coat, however it will be mostly hidden behind the bumper. If you are in the market for a bike rack also, I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B. This is made for heavier bikes and can carry 2 bikes weighing...
view full answer... - Hitch and Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2017 Kia Sportage SX GDIThe etrailer hitch part # e72TR is the correct hitch for the 2017 Kia Sportage. We did install this hitch on a 2018 Kia Sportage SX GDI so it's confirmed to fit your Sportage. I recommend Tekonsha part # 118698 for trailer wiring. The Tekonsha wiring harness is a t-connector that plugs in behind the driver's side and passenger's-side tail lights. It does not require splicing but does require a power wire that connects to the battery. The power wire powers the Modulite converter that is...

We do offer replacement hitch hardware kit # RHK for each hitch we sell and all of the aftermarket hitches for the 2017 Kia Sportage are shown on the linked page. You'll note that we have both 1-1/4-inch (Class II) and 2-inch (Class III) hitches for the car and you'll want to confirm which type you have so you can select the appropriate hardware kit.

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Kia Sportage Michael, for your 2020 Kia Sportage I'd recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72TR. This hitch has a 3,500 lbs weight capacity, a 2" receiver so it'll be compatible with just about any hitch accessory, and is made in the USA.
view full answer... - Would Hitch from 2019 Kia Sportage Fit 2021 SportageHey Steve, a hitch from a 2019 Kia Sportage like the etrailer # e72TR would also fit a 2021 model so what you have would also fit your new vehicle.
view full answer... - Mobility Scooter Carrier Setup for a 2018 Kia SportagePrior to loading your 2018 Kia Sportage, you'll want to verify your vehicle's maximum tongue capacity and towing capacity to ensure that your vehicle's engine will be able to handle the weight. The total weight of the scooter, plus carrier, will need to be less than this capacity to safely transport the scooter. With your Class III hitch, part # e72TR you can use larger, ramped carriers to make loading and unloading the scooter easier. I've attached our install video of this hitch so...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt and etrailer Hitches for 2018 Kia SportageFor your 2018 Kia Sportage the etrailer hitch part # e72TR and the Curt hitch part # C13281 are pretty similar but have some distinct differences. The Draw Tite is what I'd recommend for two reasons. If you plan to carry a bike rack or a cargo carrier the etrailer doesn't require you to use a stabilizer strap like the part # 18050 which the Curt does. Both hitches will be mostly concealed as they crosstube isn't visible and have great towing capacities. I attached a picture that points...

- Locking Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2018 Kia SportageAs long as you have a 2-inch hitch installed on your 2018 Kia Sportage like the etrailer part # e72TR the Curt cargo carrier part # C18100 would fit and work well. To lock the carrier to the hitch you'd want the # 63232 which also acts as an anti-rattle device.
view full answer... - Difference Between Curt and etrailer Class III Trailer Hitches for 2022 Kia SportageThere are a few small differences between the etrailer # e72TR and the Curt # C13281 Class III hitches, both of which are confirmed fits for a 2022 Kia Sportage. Both hitches would install in a similar manner, and the installation shares the same level of difficulty. The etrailer has a higher capacity at 4500 lbs towing/675 lbs tongue weight while the Curt has a 3500 lb towing/525 lb tongue weight capacity. However, the capacity advantage isn't really relevant because the capacity will...

- Does Tekonsha T-One Wiring from 2017 Kia Sportage Fit a 2020 Kia SportageGreat question! Yes, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118698 is compatible with your 2020 Kia Sportage. This kit fits a 2017-2020 Sportage so you're good to go. In all honesty if you checked a month or so ago it could very well have not been listed as a fit yet. Since your 2020 is a newer vehicle sometimes they are still figuring out what wiring fits what vehicle so Tekonsha may have just recently confirmed that the 118698 actually fits the 2020 model. If you don't already have a trailer...
view full answer... - Does etrailer Hitch and Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2020 Kia SportageYes they have! Both hitches you asked about, the etrailer Hitch Receiver # e72TR as well as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13281 have been confirmed to fit a 2020 Kia Sportage. Between the two I highly recommend the etrailer because it has the highest capacities at 3,500 lbs towing and 525 lbs tongue weight, which speaks to it's strength and durability, and because it is the only hitch rated for use with a weight distribution system, which is something people use regularly when towing....
view full answer... - Curt or etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch for a 2022 Kia SportageI personally like the Curt Hitch # C13281 over the etrailer # e72TR for your 2022 Kia Sportage because the safety chain loops sit out to the side on the Curt but they sit under the receiver for the etrailer which means you'll have less ground clearance. Check out the attached photos to see what I'm talking about. If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the RockyMounts WestSlope # RKY10222 which I really like for it's U-Shaped frame because it makes it much easier...

- Will Anti-Rattle Lock Work With 2 Inch Hitch on 2018 Kia Sportage?The SportRack Hitch and Cable Lock # A32022 would absolutely work with the 2 inch etrailer # e72TR that you are getting for your 2018 Kia Sportage. It is compatible with the Curt Bike Rack # C18085 that you have as well so you would be good to go.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Kia Sportage to Carry Wheelchair Lift and Motorized WheelchairAccording to the owner's manual for the 2017 Kia Sportage the vehicle itself has a tongue weight capacity of 220 pounds. Since the combined weight of the lift and chair is 182 pounds it is within the capabilities of the vehicle! For a trailer hitch if your Sportage is an EX or LX model I recommend etrailer hitch # e72TR but if you have an SX model the only option is Curt hitch # C13281. Per Curt warranty requirements, all non-trailer loads (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc) must be supported...
view full answer... - Choosing Between etrailer e72TR and Curt C13281 Class III Hitches for 2017 Kia SportageThe # C13281 and # e72TR Class III hitches are the exact same hitch, both are manufactured by Curt. The etrailer brand hitch has a matte powder coated finish, while the powder coat on the Curt hitch has a glossy finish. Some feel that the matte finish is a bit more desirable, as it tends to match the black underside of the bumper cover on the 2017 Sportage better which makes the hitch a little less visually obtrusive, but other than that (and the brand sticker affixed to it) the hitches...

You mentioned that you had only used six out of the eight bolts. I wanted to advise that the manufacturer advocates using all the hardware. If something were to happen and the hitch fails, then it would not be covered under warranty.
