Perfect fit. Excellent directions. Great price!

Great hitch, fit perfectly. Better instructions would be nice.



by:

I was able to install this by myself in about an hour.



by:

Ordered over a holiday weekend, and it arrived in time for the next weekend install ! Etrailer had a good tracking system in their order confirmation response. Box took it tough, but no damage to the heavy duty hitch or bag of bolts.



by:

This went in perfectly after a little bit of cutting! Excellent shipping and packaged well!



by:

Tucks up under the bumper nicely and was an easy install. We installed this on a 2022 Niro plug in hybrid. As others have mentioned, this will fit with just a little trimming on the hitch mount where it contacts the bit of unibody that is only present on the plug in hybrid.



by:

No problems with installation.



by:

My Hitch install went very smoothly. It was much easier elevated 8" on ramps, wheel chocks & with safety stands. I took my time cleaning & lubing the 4 mounting holes. Use the TIPs trailer has. I had a tap set but didnt bother. Used a bolt I slotted to cleanout the bolthole threads.

The fish wires made things a lot easier than tape. You can also use 2 plastic clips that hold bread bags closed.

I found 2 different sets of instructions, 1 for a shiny Hitch & another for the exact same Hitch in matte black. The longer procedure had more info but is only needed for a total newbie.

The Hitch was a perfect fit & the install was a breeze.



by:

This is the only place i could find hitch for my car. It was delivered very fast. Installation only took about 30 minutes. Looks and works great.



by:

Have bought several notches and one wiring harness from etrailer, all were easy to install and have worked very well! Instructions are simple and they tell you up front the estimated time and difficulty level of installation. Prices are great too!



by:

It was a good fit and very easy. The hardware was all there. I liked the fish wire for the bolts. There was only one piece of plastic on my 2022 Kia Niro that needed cut/trimmed. It was very fast and etrailer was great about keeping me updated on the order status. I will definitely order from etrailer again if we need a hitch in the future.



by:

The hitch went on easily and came with everything I needed to install it. The fit was good and bike rack fits snugly. I was surprised to see that after about a year, the steel around the sleeve of the hitch had begun to rust, peeling the paint and flaking the top layer of metal. I live in New England, so I expected it to rust eventually, but it happened a lot faster than I thought it would. I would suggest that anyone living in areas with high road salt use be sure to grease and rinse the hitch regularly. I didn't, and it's coming back to haunt me.



by:

I've had this hitch for my 2019 Kia Niro Plug-In hybrid for about a year.

The fit was a bit tight, and I needed to spread the ends a few millimeters in order to get the hitch to slide in place. Once I spread the ends though, the hitch slid nicely in place, taking about 15-30 min to install.

I've been using it for my Kuat bike rack most days since, and love the way the hitch looks and works!



by:

My brother recommended etrailer when I decided to purchase a hitch kit for my 2019 Kia Niro. I plan to haul at least two dirt bikes and likely my camping gear from time to time. My need was sparked by spring cleaning when I realized how much junk needed hauled out of my life. I was impressed at how easy and accurate the search tool and the filters were. I found my make and model and the products that fit my vehicle so easily I was truly amazed. I immediately noticed that every product that etrailer sells had a list of very detailed reviews, installation videos, recommended tools and lots of other information. I purchased a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" and a T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector. I watched the accompanying video for the hitch installation one time all the way through. I was able to gather all the tools and get my vehicle set in just a few minutes. I revisited the video three or four times throughout the process. The hitch went on just as smoothly as the video showed and I am confident that it will reliably haul exactly what its rated for. The hitch fits nicely and is tucked safely below the fascia where you won't wack your ankles on it. It is clean, sturdy and rust resistant. I look forward to my first haul. I have yet to install the wiring harness but only because I ran out of time over the weekend. I will update my review when I have completed the installation of the wiring harness.

2017 Kia Niro

Great price, quick free delivery. I would have give it a five star but it had too many areas that showed the metal part and it was very, very dirty! It came with all that is needed to install it! I did it by myself and I used the box it came in and a Jack to put it on! Good purchase.



by:
2019 Kia Niro

The video is very well explained. It was quite easy to install on my Kia Niro 2019.
For the plastic panel on the driver's side which needs to be cut, I have removed less plastic: I have kept the small hole on the front side, so that I could still fix the plastic panel with a nut and a washer in addition to the 3 plastic push pins (see attached pictures).

  • Does Curt Hitch # C13329 Fit 2019 Kia Niro Hybrid
    The Curt hitch part # C13329 is not listed as a fit for the Plug In Hybrid versions of the 2019 Kia Niro although we had one customer come back and say they were able to install it on a plug in version but they had to modify the hitch and the vehicle to do so.

  • 2019 Kia Niro Ex Hitch Recommendation
    I checked with Curt and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13329 is a confirmed fit for the non-PHEV version of the 2019 Kia Niro like what you have so this would work well for you. It's a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening and has a concealed crosstube so it's less visible than other hitches. If you need trailer wiring too we have the T-One kit part # 118749 would be what I recommend. It's a custom fit that won't require any splicing and it has the most reliable converter box of all...

  • Trailer Hitch With 2" Receiver for 2018 Kia Niro Hybrid
    Hey there Don; the Curt # C13329 and etrailer # e33AR are the only 2" hitches confirmed to fit your friends 2018 Niro Hybrid. These hitches are compatible with the standard hybrid, which it sounds like your friend has, just not the PHEV or EV. They share the same design so the exhaust shield will need to be removed on both. Exhaust shield and heat shield removal is fairly common for hitch installations. This won't damage the vehicle or impact performance. Trimming of the splash guard...

  • Is the Saris SuperClamp HD # SAR44VR a Good Bike Rack to Use with My Lectric 2.0 E-Bike with Fenders
    I have a great alternative bike rack for your Lectric 2.0 XP 3-inch fat bike. Unfortunately, with your fenders and rear platform, I do not recommend the Saris SuperClamp HD 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # SAR44VR because the wheel-mount ratcheting hooks will increase the risk of damage or cracking to your fenders during transport. With that being said, the safest way to transport your bike via a hitch is by a frame-mount attachment method. For a great alternative, I recommend the...

  • 2021 Kia Niro Hybrid Tralier Hitch Recommendation
    Yes, our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e33AR that fits your 2021 Kia Niro Hybrid is designed the same as the Curt alternative # C13329. The only difference is the Curt has a glossy black finish while our hitch has a matte black finish. I prefer the matte black finish because it's a little more muted and matches with black trim on vehicle better, plus this finish is a little more resistant to scratches from road debris than the glossy type. The Draw-Tite Hitch # DT79YR does have a lower...

  • Will The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C77NR Fit a 2022 Kia Niro Plug In Hybrid/PHEV?
    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C77NR will fit your 2022 Kia Niro Plug in Hybrid. The fitment headers were created as we do have the Receiver # C13329 that will not fit the PHEV or EV. Since the Receiver # C77NR does fit all models of the Niro it carries all 3 of the fits(EV, excluding Plug-In Hybrid and EV, Plug-In Hybrid).

  • Will Backup Sensors and Camera Be Affected When Transporting Bikes on 2019 Kia Niro PHEV
    I do have a great option for you, however there isn't a trailer hitch available that's designed to fit your 2019 Kia Niro PHEV (plug-in Hybrid). With this in mind your best option for transporting a couple bikes is with a trunk-mount bike rack. For this I highly recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634, which is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This is an extremely nice carrier that features SuperCush anti-sway cradles that will hold the bikes at 3 different points for a stable...

  • Removing The Heat Shield To Install The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver On The 2017 Kia Niro.
    I talked to my contact at Curt Manufacturing and they advised me that when installing Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13329 to your 2017 Kia Niro, the heat shield needs to be removed to reach the access points to bolt the hitch to the frame of the car. Removing the shield, and then installing the hitch, will not compromise the integrity of your vehicle. Many vehicles require the heat shield to be removed to complete this install.

  • Will the Curt Hitch Fit a 2020 Kia Niro EV
    I do have some insight for you but there are officially no confirmed trailer hitch fit options for a 2020 Kia Niro EV. That said, we did hear back from one customer who was able to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13329 on their Kia Niro EV. I have attached the review they gave below but I do not have any further information of the modifications required nor can I recommend them.

  • Is It Safe To Remove Exhaust Shield For Curt Hitch Installation On 2018 Kia Niro
    The Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13329 for the 2018 Kia Niro does require the exhaust shield to be removed during installation or the hitch will not fit into place. It not a piece that can be reinstalled because there will not be enough room between the exhaust and the hitch for hitch to fit into place. However, the metal hitch will now act as a heat shield for your exhaust. You are not removing the main heat shield between the exhaust and the vehicle so there is not anything to worry about...

    I have attached the complete installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13329 that you can look through. This trailer hitch is designed for the 2017-2018 Kia Niro and no drilling will be required, as it will use existing mounting holes in the vehicle's frame. The exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered and some minor trimming on the plastic panel will be required during installation.

    Sounds like you are getting a lot of conflicting info on fitting a 4-bike hitch rack to your 2018 Kia Niro. I can help you accomplish carrying a 4-bike rack with your vehicle but we do not offer a 2 inch hitch for your vehicle. Reason being that 2 inch hitches are only used typically on larger vehicles with heavier capacities. But since the Curt hitch for your vehicle part # C13329 is a Class II it can allow you to carry a 4 bike rack. Only issue is that none of the Class II 4-bike racks...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2020 Kia Niro
    The best trailer hitch receiver for your 2020 Kia Niro is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13329 because this is the only hitch for this vehicle which has a 2 inch receiver. This is really important because when using it for accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers, a 2 inch receiver is going to have a much wider range of higher-quality options to choose from. For example, there are currently five times as many cargo carriers that fit a 2 inch hitch than a 1-1/4 inch hitch and...

For example, if the towing capacity is listed at 2,000 lbs and they can prove you were towing a trailer in excess of this which caused said damage then they can void the warranty.

What you will need to do is check your owners manual for the towing capacity that Kia recommends. If it's lower than the hitch capacity you have to go by the lower rated figure as the overall capacity. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56376.

Our hitches do not come with ball mounts for towing as not everyone tows a trailer with their hitch. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.
