Trailer Hitch for 2023 Kia Sportage EV
Question:
Do you have a Curt trailer hitch for a 2023 Kia Sportage Sportage EV? I noticed the 2023 has three places for bolts on each side rather than for four that it shows in the video for an earlier model.

Expert Reply:
We do offer a Curt Class III hitch for the 2023 Kia Sportage.
We offer the Curt 13485 as part # C94WR. According to Curt, the hitch fits all models of the 2023 Sportage, including the EV.
Per the linked install instructions, the hitch attaches to the frame members, using six M10 x 1.25 -35mm Class 10.9 bolts, four from the sides and two from the underside. The 2023 Sportage is the first model year of the 5th generation, so this would explain the differences in the number of attachment points.
The linked video shows the hitch being installed on a Hyundai Tucson, but the install process would be the same.

Mike, all hitch offerings for current model Kia Sportage state the hitch is not approved for use with a weight distributing hitch. However, I currently use a weight-distributing hitch for my 3,000 camping trailer. Can you explain why this hitch should not be used with a weight-distributing hitch system? Thanks so much.
