Recommended Wiring Harness and Ball Mount for a 2025 Kia Carnival  

Updated 05/08/2025 | Published 02/02/2025

Question:

I just bought kia carnival and just ordered this hitch. My vehicle indicates that it comes with Trailer Prewire Harness, what do I need to connect trailer? Is there an install video for 2025 carnival?

Hey Edgar, first of all congrats on the new car, those Carnival's look really cool! For a harness with an install video, you will want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # CU94FR and check out the attached video of our installer installing this on a 2024 Kia Carnival.

There aren't any videos on a 2025 Kia Carnival unfortunately but the 2024-2025 shouldn't be too different. The last thing you're going to need is a ball mount with a hitch ball like # e67DR.

This part would slide into the trailer hitch and give you what you need to attach the trailer to your Carnival.

If there is anything else I can help you with, feel free to let me know and I'd be happy to help!

Hi, Is the CU94FR the same as the 2024. I looked at the photos and installation instructions and both are different for 2025 Carnival. If they're the same it will not fit. Please let me know to decide if I order. Thanks..

@Edgar Hey Edgar, from what I can find the Curt # CU94FR will fit both model years, and the install instructions are the same as well.

My 2025 Carnival has an extra wiring bundle that runs between the "trailer prewire" and the other bundle. Not sure which to disconnect and connect to (leaving one end unconnected to anything)

@Pam I'm not sure either because the Curt item # C98RV that fits the 2025 Carnivals has not been released yet so we do not have installation instructions. (05/08/2025) The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # CU94FR, that fits the 2024 Kia Carnival does not fit the 2025. We've confirmed that through Curt and customer's that tried to install it. The connectors are different.
