Installing and Using a Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Kia Sorento
Question:
Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2inch Item # C13195 fit both my 2017 Kia Sorento and my Thule Bike Rack Model 934XT.
asked by: Bill W
Expert Reply:
The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, part # C13195 is a custom fit for your 2017 Kia Sorento, and the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR will fit this hitch well.
Curt does require using a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 to stay in compliance with their warranty. These straps make a significant difference in the movement of bike racks and cargo carriers, so I tend to recommend their use in most situations.
The installation for this hitch involves lowering and removing a fascia panel and the exhaust, as well as removing the spare tire from below the vehicle. I've included a video of our install team putting the hitch onto a 2017 Kia Sorento so you can make the decision on if you want to install the hitch yourself or seek installation help.
