Recommended Solution for 1-1/4" Hitch for 2021 Kia Sorento

Question:

I am purchasing a 2021 Kia hybrid Sorento. I want a 1-1/2 in. trailer hitch, but Kia only sells a 2 hitch. Do you have a hitch that will install on a hybrid Sorento and that does not protrude from the bumper?

I may have a solution for you, but most manufacturers are a bit behind in confirming fits for existing hitches on 2021 vehicles or designing altogether new hitches for them; for this reason there are no 1-1/4" hitches confirmed for your Sorento. Your best bet if this need is immediate might be going with the 2" factory hitch and using a hitch reducer like the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02. This would give you the ability to use any existing 1-1/4" hitch accessories, like a bike rack, in the 2" factory receiver.

I've linked a short review video of this part for you to see how it works, but it would beat waiting for a hitch to come out and get you on the trails immediately.
