How Difficult Is It To Install The Draw-Tite Hitch On A 2022 Kia Seltos?
Question:
Just got a 2022 Kia Seltos and need to get a hitch put on it. I have installed a hitch for one of my buddies before and it wasn't very difficult to do. How hard is it to install the Draw-Tite? Will there be drilling into the frame or anything like that? Could use a recommendation for a wiring harness as well.

Expert Reply:
We rate the install difficulty for the Draw-Tite # DT65GR on your 2022 Kia Seltos as a 5 out of 10, so it isn't overly difficult. Especially since you have done one before. There will be no drilling needed, but there is very minor trimming of a panel to finish the install and I included an image from the instructions showing what this entails. And again, it's very minor.
As to the wiring, I recommend going with the Curt Wiring Harness # C89KR. Though one wire will need to be run up to the battery for needed power, this is a plug and play harness and will be a quick and easy install.
