Yes, I can and congrats on the new vehicle. To add a hitch to your 2024 Kia Carnival I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e36KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity and a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight.

I have attached 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 # C59236 if you do not have the towing package and item # CU94FR if you do and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.

The bolts that come with the Curt hitch #C67ER are M12-1.25 which based on seeing your picture I would recommend using this size tap to clean out your threads and you'll be good.

Personally I feel the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver #e36KR will be the least visible receiver for your 2023 Kia Carnival. The design of this is similar to the Curt #C67ER but uses a matte black finish allowing it to blend in better with the factory…

Answer 5

The solution I would offer involves a roller unit such as the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector, part #RM-050. The Rollaway CAN be used while towing, without interfering with the ball mount or accessory.

I do have a simple solution for you which will prevent damage to the trailer hitch but there's really nothing else you can do short or raising the vehicle or leveling the driveway, neither of which we can help with. That said, what we can offer…

Answer 7

I checked with Roadmaster and the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector #RM-050 doesn't have a weight capacity rating because it isn't meant to carry weight (except for brief periods when it makes contact with the ground). I have linked…

I've never heard of an actual third brake light connector on a camper shell to plug in on a truck and we don't carry any parts to do that. The light generally needs to be hardwired into the truck's brake light circuit. The issue with this…

The stop light switch that you will need to connect the red wire to on the Brake Control Plug-In Harness for Tekonsha part #20127 may be pre ran to a set of wires taped to the underside of the drivers side vehicle dash. If the wires are not present…

Unfortunately there are no plug-in adapters or harnesses that would allow you to replace the factory 4-way flat trailer connector with a 7-way or a 7-way and 4-way connector on your 2005 Ford F-150. To complete the installation for a brake controller…
