Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Height and Looks on a 2022 Kia Telluride

Question:

Which hitch for my 2022 Telluride has the best looks and best height? I'm going to be using it for a bike rack but I don't plan on always having the bike rack installed so I still want it to look good.

As far as height clearance goes all of the trailer hitches that fit your 2022 Kia Telluride will be similar. We haven't had the opportunity yet (November 2021) to install all 3 hitches on the exact same vehicle so I don't have a direct comparison though.

I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e45ZR because it has the matte black finish that not only looks better than the traditional glossy black finish, but it also does a much better job of hiding any damage that might happen from road debris. The matte black also does a great job at blending in better with your vehicle that the shiny glossy finish does. I've attached an installation video and photo of this installed on a 2020 Telluride for you to reference.

If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend checking out the Yakima StageTwo # Y47VR. This is a premium option from Yakima and they went all-out on what makes a bike rack easy to use. The elevating adjustable trays make it one of the easiest bike racks to load bikes on and then everything is designed to be tool free.
