For your 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24965. This Class I trailer hitch is confirmed to fit all models of the 2017 Optima, including your Hybrid Plug-In. It will use existing holes in the vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. The hitch will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening along with a 200 pound tongue weight capacity.

We do not have any specific recommendations for installers in New York, however any local mechanic or shop with a good reputation should be able to handle the installation without issue.

I have attached the complete written installation instructions that you can use for reference when obtaining quotes from local installers. The hitch has an estimated installation time of around 70 minutes.
