When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2022 Kia Niro The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4 inch # 36600 will work. The hitch has a gross towing weight up to 3,500 pounds and has a tongue weight up to 350 pounds. Your Kia Niro has a towing capacity of 2,866 pounds, so do not go over the vehicle's towing capacity. It has a bolt-on installation with no welding required. The hitch has a concealed cross tube which will have a sleeker look under your vehicle. The Draw-Tite hitch it more concealed when it comes to the other hitches and gives it a sleeker look because the frame of the hitch is more hidden underneath your vehicle.

I also recommend The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118749. This wiring harness has a simple plug and play installation that plugs in behind the driver and passenger side tail lights, inside the trunk, and then run the hot lead to the battery. The wiring will make your vehicle's brake lights and turn signals in unison with your trailer's brake lights and turn signals.

The Curt Towing Starter Kit for 1-1/4 inch Hitches - 2 inch Ball - 3/4 inch Rise - 3,500 lbs # C45147 will slide into your receiver hitch so you can tow your trailer.
