Correct Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid

Question:

I have a 2023 Kia Niro hybrid not plug-in. I have read your QandA. Noah says the 36600 will fit. Gregory says it will not fit and that the Curt C77NR would be needed. Which is correct?

Noah is wrong and Gregory is correct. The Draw-Tite hitch will not fit the hybrid and was actually discontinued for a redesign. The hitch you need for your 2023 Kia Niro Hybrid is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77NR. Regardless, I would recommend the Curt over the other since it has a 2" receiver which gives you better options for both towing and accessories compared to a 1-1/4" receiver.
