Curt manufactures the # e28AR for us. It's the same exact hitch as the Curt 13473 which we offer as # C34ER. The only difference between the two is the sticker placed on it and the finish. The Curt hitch uses a glossy powder coat, while the etrailer # e28AR uses a matte powder coat finish. Other than that, the hitches are identical.

I've linked to an install video for you.

Does the e28AR. Fit the 2024 Kia Sorento as you website indicates?. The Curt 13473 does not fit the 24 Sorento, but you have indicated that they are the safe hitch aside from the finish

@DanR The Curt # 13473 is the same exact hitch as the trailer brand # e28AR, with the exception of the matte finish on the # e28AR. Either hitch is a confirmed fit for the 2024 Kia Sorento.
