Trailer Hitch Installation - 2015 Kia Sportage - Curt- Video

Today on our 2015 Kia Sportage, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number C13066. Here's what this hitch is going to look like once it's installed on the vehicle. A lot of our customers seem to like how tucked back it is, to make sure that it doesn't protrude out past the bumper, and therefore, it maintains that clean look for your vehicle. It's also not so far back to where you're not going to get good clearance with the majority of accessories that you may want to use with it. Features the two inch by two inch receiver tube opening, with this nice, attractive reinforcement piled around it. It's got the rolled steel safety chain connection points, which are going to be really good because you've got plenty of clearance all the way around to get just about whatever type of safety chain that you may have connected to it. Got the standard five-eighths inch hitch pinhole, which is going to be used to secure all your accessories into the hitch. It's a nice, very easy installation. more
