Class I Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Kia Optima
Question:
what hitch would you recommend for a 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid. Ive seen the video for the 2012 Kia Optima standard with 2 exhausts. Mine only has one exhaust and has plastic covers on the divers side. Can the same hitch be used?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The hitch I recommend for your 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid is the Draw-Tite # 24965. I confirmed with my technical contact at Draw-Tite that this 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch fits your 2012 Optima Hybrid with single exhaust. Since all hitch options for your car have the same 200-lb tongue weight rating, I am suggesting this hitch since its the lowest cost model offered. No drilling is required.
To help you with your installation I have linked the written instructions and an article on hitch installation tips.
This light duty hitch can be used with a compatible 2-bike Class I bike rack or cargo carrier. Links for those two product categories are included for you.
