Weight Distribution System For A 2020 Kia Telluride Towing a 5,000 lb Trailer
Question:
Im new to towing and want to make sure Im getting the right thing. Is the below product a correct match with a 2020 Kia Telluride, towing no more than 5000 and no more than 500 tongue weight? How do I know what type of hitch ball to get with it? Is there a standardized size for balls in this weight category? Thanks for the help, Pete B.

Hello Pete. It sounds like you are on the right track here, because the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17050 will definitely be a correct match for your 2020 Kia Telluride and your 5,000 lb trailer. Generally, we look more at the trailer side of things when selecting a weight distribution system. More specifically the loaded tongue weight of the trailer. The Curt # C17050 is recommended for trailers with a tongue weight between 400 and 600 lbs. It sounds like you will be within that range, so it will work well for you.
As far as the hitch ball, there are three standard sizes: 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16". Most 5,000 lb A-frame trailers will use either a 2" or a 2-5/16" ball. The only way to know for sure will be to go inspect the trailer. The ball size will always be stamped on the trailer's coupler. If you are unsure of what trailer you will be pulling, I suggest just getting both sizes. For a 2" ball it will be part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16" part # A-6.
