Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2022 Kia Seltos
Question:
I already have the Curt hitch C65FR on my 2022 Kia Seltos but now I'm wanting to add some wiring so I can pug in the lights on my cargo carrier. What wiring kit do you recommend? Should I go with Curt since I have their hitch?

I would be happy to assist you in choosing the best wiring kit for your 2022 Kia Seltos!
The Curt Trailer Hitch # C65FR that you have is an excellent hitch choice, but when it comes to wiring I recommend going with the Curt # C89KR over the Tekonsha wiring simply because Curt electric products tend to last longer and require less troubleshooting than Tekonsha electrical products do.
In addition to this wiring I also recommend picking up the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202 so that your 4-Way connector is readily accessible next to the hitch receiver instead of being tucked away in your rear hatch. You will need to fish the 4-Way connector through one of the grommets in the bottom of your cargo area and then use a gasket maker like part # LT37467 to seal up the grommet when you're done.
