Is Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch # 87574 Visible Once Installed on a 2011 Kia Sorento

Question:

Once mounted, will I see the square tubing not the 2 receiver I know you will see this or is it hidden above the lowest point of the plastic bumper cover. It appears that unless the square tubing is positioned just between the exhaust tips and the muffler it would need to be below the entire muffler, which would be rear of the vehicle. I do not want to see the square tube running the width of the vehicle. Any help would be appreciated.

Since the 2 inch hitch opening on Hidden Hitch # 87574 is in line with the cross tube, you will be able to see the cross tube running below your bumper.

This would be true for any of the hitches available for your 2011 Kia Sorento, but the Curt model # C13073 would be the best looking option, as it features a round cross tube, and the sides of the tube are recessed toward the front of the vehicle. You would still be able to see the center portion of the cross tube on either side of the hitch opening, but you would not see the bar running across the entire width of the vehicle frame.

I have included a link to the installation instructions for the Curt hitch, if needed.
