Does Trailer Hitch Recevier for 2021 Kia Seltos Require Drilling Into Frame
Question:
Tow hitch for 2021 Kia Seltos. Is there any required drilling to the frame to install this hitch
asked by: Ed C
Expert Reply:
No drilling into the frame of your 2021 Kia Seltos is required in order to install the trailer hitch receiver that fits it, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C65FR.
This is a bolt-on installation and uses existing holes in your Kia's frame to install, which is why you don't have to drill.
If you plan on doing some light towing with this hitch and your '21 Seltos, there are a few other parts you'll need, which are the following:
- Vehicle Wiring Harness # C89KR
- Curt Drawbar # C45521
- Pin and Clip # F-4
- 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # A-80 or 2" Hitch Ball # A-82
