Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2013 Kia Rio Sedan
Question:
Would this support a small trailer with 2 dirt bike? Dirt bikes weight 240 pounds each and the trailer is around 300 pounds. Idk about tow weight and how all that works. Want to order but want to make sure it will work for what I am doing. I have a 2013 Kia rio sedan, basic model

Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24884 can handle the roughly 800 pounds of loaded trailer that you want to tow. But you have to check with Kia or your owner's manual to determine what, if any, towing capacity your 2013 Rio sedan has. I was unable to locate that information.
In addition to the hitch you will also need the recommended ball mount # 3592 and a ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19257 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. And for trailer wiring use # C56157 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle.
