Speaker 1: Today on this 2011 Kia Sorento we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite Class 3 trailer hitch receiver, part number 75684.Here's what our hitch looks like installed. One thing that's nice about this hitch is that it follows the contours of our bumper nicely and goes underneath our exhaust so we don't have to worry about lowering the exhaust in order to get the hitch installed.On the side of our receiver you'll find our industry-standard 5/8" diameter hitch pin hole to secure any of our hitch-mounted accessories. Closer to the rear of the receiver you'll find an additional hole for a j-pin stabilization device. What that will do is take away the annoying shake, play, and rattle of anything that is inserted into your receiver.On the bottom of our hitch you'll find our rolled steel safety chain loops. What's nice about these is even if you have a large diameter safety chain hook such as this one, it'll still clip on easily and can easily be removed. On the back of our receiver you'll find this collar that's welded on to help give us a nice finished look and also to help reinforce the strength of the opening of the receiver.This hitch features a 350 pound max tongue weight rating, which is the amount forcing down, and a 3,500 pound max gross trailer weight rating, which is the amount it can pull. more
