Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Kia Sorento

Question:

I am considering purchasing a Wildwood forest river Salem trailer. It is 20 feet long, has an unloaded WEIGHT OF 2,787 pounds..single axle. I own a 2016 Kia Sorento v6, 290hp, 252 fttork,.My question is, what type of hitch is the best for this setup, and does a hitch include anti sway bars. Im handy with tools, do you think I could install what you recommend?Thank you

The Curt hitch part # C13195 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Kia Sorento and would be a great option for towing a small trailer like you described. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring then you would want the part # C56332 which is a confirmed fit.
