2019 Kia Niro Ex Hitch Recommendation

Question:

I checked with Curt and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13329 is a confirmed fit for the non-PHEV version of the 2019 Kia Niro like what you have so this would work well for you. It's a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening and has a concealed crosstube so it's less visible than other hitches. If you need trailer wiring too we have the T-One kit part # 118749 would be what I recommend. It's a custom fit that won't require any splicing and it has the most reliable converter box of all of the kits we offer. If 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 a bike rack I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F. This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this rack you get the best of both worlds. The preferred attachment style with the lighter weight. It also can carry fat tire bikes and has a higher weight capacity at 60 lbs per bike.
