2005 Kia Questions and Answers

• Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Kia Sorento with a Larger 265/70-16 Spare Tire
  
• The trailer hitches for the 2005 Kia Sorento have only been tested on the stock tire sizes. The 265/70-16 is larger than the stock size so it is not likely to fit with the hitch installed.

Given the width and overall diameter is larger it could be a factor. You may find that you will need to either move t

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2005 Kia Optima and 2008 Hyundai Tucson
  
• For the 2005 Kia Optima, I have included a link to the installation instructions for Curt hitch # 24709. For the 2008 Hyundai Tucson, I have included a link to instructions for Curt hitch # 13526. The Curt hitch for the Tucson is the most popular hitch option for that vehicle. The Tucson will also have the higher towing capacity of the 2 vehicles if trailer weight is an issue. For the Optima I recommend going with the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24709 because it installs just a little differen

• Trailer Hitch and Bike rack Recommendations for a 2005 Kia Amanti
  
• Out of all of the trailer hitches available for the 2005 Kia Amanti, I recommend going with a Class II trailer hitch because it is sturdier than a Class I and will allow you to carry more bikes. Out of the 2 different Class II trailer hitches for your vehicle, I would go with the Draw-Tite trailer hitch, # 36415. This hitch is more cost effective because it does not come with a ball mount, pin and clip. Since you want to use the hitch for a bike rack, you do not need the extra parts. If you d

• Rack and Post Dimensions and Bolt Hole Pattern for the Bulldog Rack-and-Gear Jack # BD165412
  
• I went out to the warehouse to take the measurements that you asked for. The diameter of the post on the Bulldog Heavy-Duty Rack-and-Gear Jack, # BD165412, is 1-1/16 inches, and the overall width is 2 inches including the rack that is mounted on the side of the post. The rack measures 3/4 inches wide by 3/8 inches thick. The base of the gear and handle assembly is triangular and the bolt hole pattern is 3 inches on center. I have added a photo with the dimensions I took for you to review.

• Catalytic Converter Recommendation for a 2005 Kia Rio
  
• The MagnaFlow Stainless Steel Catalytic Converter, part # MF36103, you referenced is designed to be used on vehicles that are older than 1996 and use OBDI computer systems. You would need a MagnaFlow Stainless Steel Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter, part # MF50881. This catalytic converter is designed to work specifically on the 2005 Kia Rio, and due to the design of the exhaust system on your daughters 2005 Kia Rio, a universal converter would not be a feasible option.
