Can the Curt Trailer Hitch # 11242 for a 2002 Kia Spectra Tow a Rented Trailer

Yes, trailer rental places will accept any of the trailer hitches we carry provided they are properly installed and have the capacity to tow the trailer you want to tow. The Curt trailer hitch # 11242 has a capacity of 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight. You will need to consult the owners manual for your 2002 Kia Spectra to determine its towing capacity. Whichever is lower, the hitch or the vehicle, is the capacity you have to go by.

The hitch comes with a ball mount, pin and clip. If the trailer coupler requires a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256. If it requires a 2 inch ball use # 19258. You will also need trailer wiring to tow a trailer. Use # 119178KIT. I have included links to the hitch and wiring instructions for you to view.
