Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2023 Kia Sportage and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Curt Class III two inch hitch receiver.

You can also add a ball mount to it and pull a small trailer. Now if you decide to go with that, or if that's why you're getting a hitch, you'll wanna get four pole wiring to go with it so you can safely let others know what you're doing by sending the lighting signals from your vehicle to your trailer.

Now let's go ahead with the installation, Before we install our hitch let's go ahead and point out our attachment point. Here at the rear of the frame on either side of the muffler are 2 weld nuts. These 2 will be our attachment poinst for the driver side and there will be 2 identical on the passenger side, but before we put the hitch in place we're going to want to clean them out using a little spray lubricant. We can spray the hole then I'll use a half-inch nylon toothbrush part number 814092 and thoroughly clean out the threads, the older the vehicle is the more chance you have of dirt, rust, and buildup inside the threads. Before I go and try to install the hitch after I cleaned them out I also take my new hardware just to make sure its going to easily thread up into the weld nut. As you can see we got that one already cleaned out. I'll go ahead and repeat the same process for the other 3 attachment points. more
