Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Kia Telluride
Question:
I am getting a 2023 Kia Telluride and I want to add a hitch to it.

Expert Reply:
The best hitch for your 2023 Kia Telluride is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e45ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crossbar is concealed behind the bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible.
This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch can be used with a weight distribution system and it will increase the towing capacity to 6,000 lbs.
I have linked a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit item # C45534. This currently the only option for a 4-way wiring harness for the 2023 Telluride. As of 4/6/24 there are no custom fit harnesses.
