• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 Kia Sorento
  Yes, to mount the Thule Hitching Post Pro to your 2019 Kia Sorento, you need the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver, # e98843. This is a Class III bolt-on hitch with a 2"x2" receiver. It comes with all needed hardware and I even have an installation video linked of this being installed on a 2019 Kia Sorento to help you with the process. My suggestion is go ahead and add the trailer wiring at the same time too, in case you need/want to tow a trailer. Use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring...

• Brake Controller Recommendation and Installation Components for a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
  To install a brake controller in your 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe you will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # HM11143965 if you have the tow package or part # 118571 for if you do not. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product...

• Does Installation of etrailer Brand e98843 Hitch Require Modifying 2020 Kia Sorento
  Although the etrailer brand # e98841 Class III hitch you'd looked at isn't a fit for the 2020 Kia Sorento, we do offer a Class III fit, part # e98843. As you can see in the linked install video which shows the # e98843 hitch being installed on a 2020 Sorento, we didn't need to do any trimming or modification to the bumper. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # HM11143965 if the vehicle is equipped with the factory tow package...

• Will Spare Fit With Trailer Hitch Receiver Installed on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0t Ultimate
  Both the Draw-Tite # 75772 and Curt # C13152 trailer hitch receivers for your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport require the spare tire to be temporarily removed for installation. Once installed the hitches fit with the spare tire. If you look at the videos I've attached the spare tire is put back in place and that is the 2017 Sport 2.0t Ultimate like yours. Between the two hitches I recommend the Curt because of the higher weight capacity. If you're going to be towing with your Hyundai you...

• Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2011 Kia Sorento
  Brake controllers are not vehicle specific so you can install any controller you want on your 2011 Kia Sorento. For your vehicle it is a hardwire situation and you will need a few parts for the installation. First, if the vehicle does not have a 4-Way trailer connector, you will need to add one using # 118506 if you have a 4 cylinder or other model WITHOUT the towing prep package. If you do have the towing prep package, use # HM11143965. I have linked instructions for both harnesses for...

• Trailer Wiring Recommendations for 2019 Kia Sorento
  For your 2019 Kia Sorento there are two trailer wiring options I recommend. The Hopkins kit part # HM11143965 for if you do have the tow package (does not require running wire to battery) or the part # 118583 which is the correct kit for if you do not have the trailer package. This does require running a wire to battery so that your trailer wiring is powered by the battery and not the delicate vehicle wiring. If your Kia Sorento has a trailer hitch you most likely have the tow package....

• How to Determine if 2015 Kia Sorento LX V6 Has Tow Package
  The easiest way would be to call your dealer's service department and have them run the VIN of your vehicle. They should be able to tell you exactly how your vehicle was equipped. You could also locate the tow plug connector, which is on top of the frame member at the passenger side rear. Remove the protective cap, and use a circuit tester like # 40376 to as each tail light circuit is activated to see if the connector is active. If it is, you have the tow package, if not you do not.

• Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2017 Kia Sorento
  Since there were little to no changes between the 2016 and 2017 Kia Sorento the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75908 is going to fit and work well. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # HM11143965 which I attached an install video for as well.

• How to Mount a Tent with a 2017 Kia Sorento with a Bare Roof
  Since the kit that involves parts # Y00421, # Y28TR, and # Y06159 in your question, I assume you have a 2017 Kia Sorento with a bare roof and no factory rails. If this is the case, while we do have a solution you can use, you unfortunately cannot mount a roof top tent to your roof. This is because all of the roof racks we carry use door jamb clamps to mount the crossbars to your vehicle. Manufacturers strongly advise against using roof racks that use this attachment style because the clips...

• Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2016 Kia Sedona
  We certainly can help you set up trailer wiring on your 2016 Kia Sedona that will allow you to use your trailer brakes and battery charge wire, but you do have to start with a 4-way like the # HM11143965 that you referenced. Not all vehicles are wired for trailer brakes. Especially ones that weren't made with towing as a primary concern like your 2016 Kia Sedona.

It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount...

• Can I Weld The Draw-Tite Hitch for The 2016 Kia Sorento and Increase the Tongue Weight Capacity
  The Draw-Tite custom fit hitch part # 75908 for the 2016 Kia Sorento max tongue weight capacity is up to 500 lbs. The tongue weight rating does not change if you weld the hitch to the vehicle's frame. The hitch may be rated up to 5,000 lbs gross towing weight but the Kia Sorento is not rated for that much weight. I researched the owner's manual for the Kia and it depends on the engine and if the vehicle was equipped with a towing package as to how much tongue weight it can handle. The...

  It will all depend on the towing capacity of your 2015 Kia Sorento. According to Kia the 2015 LX 4 cylinder has a 1,650 pound gross trailer weight capacity. The LX 6 cylinder models and EX 6 cylinder models have a 3,500 pound capacity. The SX and SXL models also are rated for 3,500 pounds.

• Troubleshooting Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness HM11143965 for 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe
  You will want to start off by making sure that the fuse under the hood on your 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe is still okay. It is a 30 Amp fuse that is on the bottom left section of the fuse panel that is under your hood. You can find the exact location labeled TRAILER in the picture of the fuse panel that I found online.

• Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2014 Kia Sorento EX
  At this time there are no brake controller wiring harnesses for the 2014 Kia Sorento. To install a brake controller you would need to hardwire it in. If you can tell me if the vehicle has a factory 7-Way, aftermarket 7-Way or 4-Way, or no trailer connector, I can explain exactly what you will need and how to install the controller. If it has a factory 7-Way you will just need installation kit # 5506 for trailers with 6 to 8 brakes. You will attach the included circuit breaker under the...

  It sure can. You might need to push the spare a couple of inches toward the front of the vehicle as it's lowered or raised to clear the hitch, but you'll have no problem whatsoever using the spare if need be. If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # HM11143965 if your Sorento has the factory tow package or # 118583 if it does NOT have the tow package. For a ball mount, use # 2753 and # 19260 for a1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer...
