Best 2011 Kia Sorento Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

All went well with the order and installation. Wiring kit did not have enough cable ties. I needed an extra 15 to make it right. How to videos were very informative.

great price ,super quick shipping .great company to deal with

Great Product!

i was pleased with this product too. It all came in the same box and is a great system.

Overall fit and finish is excellent. I installed the wiring kit on my 2011 Sorento. The instructions that come with the kit are basic. Watching the video on etrailers webpage explains everything perfectly. The one issue I did have is that the lenght of the cable from the T connector on the drivers side was not long enough to mount the relay box anywhere near where the video shows it. I ended up making the setup work, but it would have been much easier if the wires were a foot longer. Otherwise I am satisfied so far.

I reviewed the product installation video after which I felt very confident in being able to install the hitch and receiver myself. The receiver is now installed and looks really good. I also really like this site with all their installation materials and valuable reviews.

As advertised and quick delivery, I am an Etrailer fan!

Strong and works perfectly!

Came quickly, website was easy. Good product. Lost the pin to hold it in during a trip and still came thru. It jammed into my receiver and didn't come loose until I took the trailer off.

I would give five stars but due to what looks like packaging problems the hitch came very marred and the coating chipping off.

Very solid. I like the cushion feature to prevent damage to my vehicle.

Makes for a great hard-core dirt road set up with a 3000 pound trailer, in conjunction with the Curt rocker ball, Towing with an F150 over many miles of washboards, down through washes where the road was washed out, etc. Really makes for a gentler set up on the equipment in the trailer and the truck. Thanks a lot E-trailer!

With good information from the website it was easy to order a Curt 2" Trailer Hitch, the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit w/ 4-Pole Connector and Circuit Tester - 119178KIT, Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches (3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs - D-4), Curt Pin and Clip Hitch Receiver - C21500, Rubber Tube Cover for 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers - I-728,Review, and 2" hitch ball 40038. Parts were delivered earlier than the initial estimate. Self installation (on a sloped drive way) took just under 2 hour. The fit of parts was very good, instructions and on-line video's were very helpful. My Kia did not have the wire plug in option, but the splice connections in the wire kit were easy to install. Most of the parts are hidden from view when the ball mount is not used.

I have a custom made tow guard. The ball mount I have was too short to allow me to attach the tow guard to my new truck. I searched the web and found just what I needed at etrailer.com. It's the only site I found that carried the size I needed. The product fits my needs perfectly. I can now protect my boat from rocks and other road debris when towing. Thank you etrailer.com.

I just purchased a new hideaway hitch system. But the hitch sits only 15 inches off the ground at best. And, my trailer coupling is 22-23 inches off ground. So l needed 7-8 inches of rise on the new 1.25 inch receiver system. Internet research took me to etrailer and the Brophy hitch. I got 5.5 inches with the Brophy hitch, the highest available for a 1.25 inch receiver I could find. The others are limited to 5 inches max. I added another 1.5 inches with your Curt shock absorbing hitch. Voila, with a combined 7 inches of rise and on level ground the trailer now rides perfectly level!!!! Both parts were very easy to connect. Delivery was speedy. Thank you for saving the day and my investment in an expensive new hideaway hitch!

Quality parts, but the extra rise with this and the Curt Rocker Ball still wasn’t enough to avoid scraping the top of my inclined road while towing my boat.

The product is what I wanted at a good price, was not real tight fit into the receiver. but for the light towing I do, it is adequate.

definitely solid as a rock

I am an infrequent trailer user, but getting my daughter home from college was necessary in March. This drawbar fits my hitch and utility trailer well, did exactly what it is supposed to do, and was the last thing to be concerned about right then. I have a '11 Mini Countryman S with a Class II receiver from Mini Fini, (which cost twice as much as a Curt) where the hole is flush with the fake grille near the bottom of the bumper cover, so I needed the long bar to reach out past the bumper. The Curt receiver for that car hangs visible underneath the bumper (ugly), which also increases the lever arm on the receiver beam and would have needed an even taller rise. (Curt take note!) All just part of the kit to create an occasional 1 ton pickup out of my Mini, leaving the "bed" at home most of the time.

Not only did I get the parts I needed at a great price. They were delivered they day after I ordered them. Great communication from my salesman. I will definitely be a return customer.

Heavy duty hitch. Well built and welds are fine.

Very solid. I like the cushion feature to prevent damage to my vehicle.

Needed a large drop hitch to pull my car trailer. This item came quickly and worked perfectly.

Quick delivery and products in perfect shape. Multiple different items included in box. Packed well. A small thing but gave the impression that etrailer does things right. Very happy.

Everything came quick. The online video and paper instructions were spot on and made the whole process very simple.

Functionally, this hitch has been great with no issues to date. Aesthetically, the black color did quickly fade to a gray color within a couple of months. Ball surface also presented rust after very minimal use. That being said, I did buy a hitch to tow trailers, not look pretty.

I purchased the solid shank, for its ratings are extremely high. But I purchased from etrailer for their customer service. I have purchased from them in the past, but it has been some time. When looking for a new hitch and lock pin, they came to mind. And I am very pleased! Quick, easy and best priced. They communicate every step of the way. I wish I would have purchased some other items here, that I have bought lately.

Overall fit and finish is excellent. I installed the wiring kit on my 2011 Sorento. The instructions that come with the kit are basic. Watching the video on etrailers webpage explains everything perfectly.

It took a while before my son had time to install the trailer package. Took some watching of [online] videos but he got it installed and it works great. We’ve used it a couple of times to pull a small trailer.

Sturdy construction. Better quality than what I expected.

works well brings the trailer tongue up to level. I have it on an EV so the raddle is annoying, because I just keep on forgetting to buy a anti rattler.

It is heavy duty and well-built. I am not disappointed at all and I get comments everyone smile from people who are used to traveling overseas asking where I got the European style hitch from. The only downside is the lack of interchangeability in the size of the ball itself but I don’t think that’s a big deal because I set it up for what I need it for and keep a vehicle vehicle for longer periods of time.

Solid, heavy as heck. Bought this model because 1) I only have 1 lightweight trailer (Malone xtralight, also purchased from etrailer at the same time) and it’s light weight. 2) I am stuffing this into an adaptor also bought from etrailer to further stuff into a receiver also purchased from etrailer. 3) All this is on the back of my 2018 Subaru Outback. Beings that it’s a Subaru it’s not going to be used to drag a huge or heavy trailer. I’ll repeat this part in my review of the adapter, buy probably from etrailer, a receiver lock that is sleeved, to be both 1/22 and 5/8 and long. That way if you don’t want this sticking way out the back (shin killer) you can use 1 lock and go all the way through receiver/ adapter/ and this ball mount. Otherwise buy you’ll need 2 locks 1 for receiver to adapter 5/8 and a second 1/22 to go through adapter into this unit. A side benefit is it’s just different. It’s not an everyday boring looking ball mount, it’s heavy duty so why not.

Nice combination to go with my front hitch for the F150.
