Installed myself, managed to get it hooked up without removing the rubber exhaust mount. Would be easier with a second person but can be done solo.



by:

Kelly was a fantastic person to assists us with our purchase! We are looking forward to working with here again soon :)



by:

Working great. No problems at all



by:

Solidly built, easy to use, great design. Would definitely buy again if/when needed.



by:

Packaging was damaged in shipping. Items are great though and the instructions are clear, simple, and complete.



by:

This is a good trailer. Easy to hook up and good customer service. We have used it mostly to haul a bike rack but have used it for a uhaul trailer and it went fine the full 400 miles. If your car is old like mine, you'll have to clean the holes out in your car well for the screws to fit.



by:

Excellent hitch and perfect fit.



by:

Great product easy to put on about 20 m inutes



by:

This fit on my 2005 KIA Sorento perfectly. I lowered the spare down and had plenty of room to work. The stock KIA exhaust did need some spacers on the factory hangers so it does not touch the hitch. That was all explained in the etrailer videos. I am so happy with the product and the support. Right after it arrived I received an email with a link to instructions. Very helpful!

Quick delivery and easy to install..love it

2006 Kia Sorento

Easy to install. Looks great. Very pleased!



by:

would have been easier to install if the connecting bolts were a little longer, at least the length of the thickness of the locking washers. I had to put it up w/o the washers to bend the metal connecting plates, then take off each bolt install the washer and put them back on. this increased the install time to over two hours. still not bad considering i did it all by my self..... LONGER BOLTS NEEDED.

JD, Thank you for your review. It sounds like you may have a flexed hitch issue. Hitches are designed to be somewhat pliable because of this the mounting brackets may flex during shipping. It may seem like the bolt holes will not line up with the weld nuts in your frame. The good news is, a flexed hitch is fixable. I have attached a link on ways to flex the hitch back into place.



by:

This is very easy to install. I did it all by myself in less than hour. Even the electrical hookup was a snap. I'll be pulling a small trailer for my riding lawn mower and tools



by:

very easy to install as long as someone holds the other end of hitch.I used a jack to hold up other end and installed hitch and wireing in less than 30 min.Etrailer sent item quick and I am completely happy with this company and products.



by:

Receiver and wiring harness installed exactly as indicated. Installation videos were very helpful. Only issue was bolts with conical washers would not quite reach frame of car. Had to intall w/o washers to spread plates and then one by one take out bolts, add washers and re-install bolt. This took extra time but final install looks great.



by:

This hitch was a snap to put on. I just backed my truck on my ramps and lowered the spare tire. Let the front of the hitch rest on the tire while I lifted the back of it to put in the bolts on each side. Raised the hitch and put the other bolts in and.....Ta Da, I was done. I think it make our truck look tougher. Pulling trailers is so awesome. We always mention to our friends where we ordered ours. We are Very, Very satisfied with our etrailer hitch.



by:
2008 Kia Sorento

Perfect fit. Took maybe 45 minutes to install the hitch and wire harness. My only suggestion is that it's pretty important to clean the threads thoroughly. I used a thread tap and some machine oil and the mounting bolts went in and torqued with no problems.



by:

Great fit!! Extremely fast delivery as well! I’m so glad I ordered from e trailer!! My son can now pull trailers without having to take my vehicle! Only wish I’d bought it sooner.



by:

Hitch fit with no problem, used a couple of Jack stands to hold up, lined up holes, screwed in bolts, tighten with ratchet wench, did not even have to adjust muffler. Put on in less then 20 minutes.



by:
2007 Kia Sorento

Item came to me in a timely fashion and was exactly what I expected. The video instructions made installation so easy that I could do it.



by:
2005 Kia Sorento

Product was just as described, installation would have been quicker if I had followed the video installation advice and cleaned the frame nuts prior to putting 3 out of the 4 bolts on. I also purchased the wiring harness, and it was a 5 minute install. Clean look, trailering the boat felt comfortable and solid. Delivery was quick, tracking easy. If I ever need another hitch, etrailer will be my first stop.

  • Can the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack be Used for Bikes with Fenders
    The Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR is an excellent choice in a bike rack and will fit great with the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13513 on your 2006 Kia Sorento. The Transfer series has been a favorite of mine for a while now because it's ease of use and the simple yet effective design. We discourage the use of wheel mount carriers like this on bikes with fenders because you are supposed to get that hook as close to the front forks as you can without touching the bike frame and then tighten it down...

  • The Bolts Are To Short To Install My Curt Hitch # C13513 On My 2008 Kia Sorento
    What you are experiencing when trying to install The Curt Hitch # C13513 onto your 2008 Kia Sorento is that the weld nuts are packed with corrosion and/or road grime. This happens on any vehicle that has seen at least one winter. You will need to clean out the weld nuts so the bolts can be properly threaded freely. I would recommend spraying some lubricant like WD-40, and using a Wire Brush # DW00254. Doing this will take some patience. I attached a few helpful links below that will help...

  • Where Does Curt Hitch for 2007 Kia Sorento Install on Vehicle Frame
    For your 2007 Kia Sorento the hitches we offer like the Curt part # C13513 that are a confirmed fit do bolt to the inside of the vehicle frame like what you see in the picture I attached. We've not seen this be an issue with other owners of your vehicle. Is the vehicle a US spec vehicle or was it made for a different market? I also attached an install video for this hitch on a 2007 Sorento just like yours as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2004 Jeep Liberty
    All of the hitches we currently offer for a Jeep Liberty will fit years 2002-2007 and no other vehicles. The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2004 Jeep Liberty is the Draw-Tite part # 75128. It's a Class-III with a 2-inch receiver. The maximum gross trailer weight is 5,000 pounds and tongue weight capacity is 500 pounds. If you plan on doing any towing, the wiring harness kit you need is the Tow Ready # 118524. Or if you already have a factory tow package then go with Hopkins custom...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2003 - 2009 Kia Sorento
    The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13513 fits 2003- 2009 Kia Sorento's. Don't sell the hardware with the hitch. It isn't safe to torque the bolts down more than once. Whoever buys it should use the Replacement Hardware Kit for Trailer Hitches item # RHK to get new hardware.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch # C13513 Fit a 2008 Kia Sorento
    Yes, the Curt trailer hitch # C13513 is a confirmed fit for a 2008 Kia Sorento. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you and a link to a video showing a typical installation. It is on a 2005 model but installation will be very similar to your 2008 model. If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring use # C59236.

  • Exhaust and Spare Tire Interference with Hitch Install on 2005 Kia Sorento
    I searched our customer reviews on the hitches available for the 2005 Kia Sorento and wasn't able to find any reported occurrences the exhaust rattling against the hitch for that vehicle. Hitch rattle can occur, because most vehicles use exhaust hangers and isolators that are flexible and allow the exhaust to move around a bit. If this movement allows with hitch too close to the hitch, this flexibility allows you to gently bend some of the exhaust hangers to allow for more space between...

  • Will Installing Curt Class III # C13513 Interfere with Spare Tire on 2006 Kia Sorento
    The presence of the hitch will prevent the spare tire from dropping straight downward while it is being lowered. While lowering the spare, you will need to push forward on it until it clears the hitch cross tube, at which point it will drop free. We have the same situation on my wifes Kia Sedona van, and I can tell you from experience that it is not difficult to get the spare off of the vehicle. The procedure will just be a little different than you are used to. If you were planning on...

  • Hitch And Installer Recommendation for 2004 Nissan Murano
    For a hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75148. You'd also need a trailer wiring harness, part # 55571, a ball mount, part # C45010 and a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19260 or a 2 inch ball, part # 63845. The coupler on the trailer will have the necessary ball size stamped on it. I've linked you to videos showing the hitch and the wiring harness being installed. As you can see, the install is pretty simple -it just might be something you could do yourself. If...

  • Can a Hitch From a 2005 Kia Sorento Fit On A 2012 Kia Sorento?
    I have a solution for you, but the Curt Round Tube Hitch Receiver # C13513 , which fits on the 2005 Sorento is not designed to fit on the 2012 Kia Sorento. The correct hitch for the 2012 Kia Sorento is the Curt # C13073 . If you need to add a wiring harness, just let me know what trim package and engine you have on your 2012 and whether or not it is equipped with a factory tow package and I can recommend the appropriate wiring kit for your vehicle- there are a lot of different options...

  • Recommended Lighting/Wiring Kit for 2008 KIA Sorento LX
    It sounds like your 2008 Kia Sorento didn't come with the towing package, so for a 4-way wiring connection for your trailer you will want # C59236. I have linked an installation video of how this wiring harness for you to check out. If your trailer instead has a 7-way round connector, in addition to the 4-way you will also need the # ETBC7 and a brake controller like # 90885 to controller the brakes of the trailer. In addition to your hitch you will need a ball and ball mount to tow...
