Features to know about
Get More Out of Your Hauling Setup: Class III Strength with 2" Receiver
This hitch opens up a lot of options for towing and carrying gear. With a 2" x 2" receiver opening, 5,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight, and 500 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s built for everyday work like pulling small trailers, campers, or boat haulers. The Class III rating means it’s strong enough for regular use, whether you're carrying bikes, mounting a cargo rack, or towing a utility trailer.
Built to Last Through Every Season: Powder-Coated, Fully Welded Steel
The round-tube design is fully welded for solid strength and a clean look. Every hitch is covered in a gloss black powder coat over a protective base coat for superior rust resistance. That layered finish helps fight off corrosion from rain, salt, and road grime so the hitch keeps looking good and performing well over time.
Install It Yourself: Bolt-On Mounting with Included Hardware
No welding or drilling needed here—just bolt it onto the vehicle frame using the included hardware kit and installation instructions. Precision robotic welding ensures the bolt holes line up right where they’re supposed to be, cutting down on frustration during install. It’s a straightforward fit you can handle with standard garage tools.
Dependable Design for Everyday Use: Custom Fit and Versatile Towing Setup
Because the hitch is custom fit and precisely aligned to factory mounting points, you get a secure connection that stays solid on the road. Use it with ball mounts, pins, and clips sold separately to complete your towing setup. The sturdy construction means you can trust it for both towing and accessory use whenever you need it.

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.

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.

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.

Doesn't fit, just tried putting it on but there's literally 1 inch gap. Not sure what I'm supposed to do

If you are having troubles with the holes not lining up, it could be that the hitch has been flexed during shipment. This is common amongst hitches, since the mounting brackets are made from a mild steel that allows the hitch to flex with the vehicle after installation. If the entire hitch was made of rigid steel, there would be a greater chance of the hitch being damaged and experiencing stress cracks. Such cracks could cause the hitch to malfunction. This flexing often times will cause the holes not to align. Because of this we do have a help article I have the link attached below that will walk you through the process of straightening the hitch.

I was amazed by how quickly the trailer hatch was delivered. I installed the trailer hitch less than 30 minutes with no issues. I don't know why I didn't purchase one year ago. I am happy and satisfied with the hitch. The hitch is constructed well.

I put the hitch on my Kia Sorrento to haul around my pop-up and drift boat trailers. Installation went ok. I had to bend the fins slightly to get a flush fit and my frame threads were very rusty so I bought a tap and re-threaded two bolt holes. It's seen every season and a good amount of action... for pulling smaller lighter loads and cargo carriers it has absolutely been what I expected. For price, installation, and quality of build I have been very pleased.

This trailer hitch is awesome!! So easy to install! It took me approx 45 mins by myself with nothing but a socket wrench. I could have finished the install quicker but I didn’t lift up the back of my Sorento, I didn’t drop down the spare tire, just held the hitch in place and screwed on the 4 bolts. In hindsight if I had something to prop up one side of the hitch that would have made the install easier but as it was, I was able to complete it with no issues. Friendly tip: 1) use a q-tip to clean out the threads in the frame before trying to screw in the bolts. Mine had lots of grease and dirt that had to go. 2) tear open the box and fold it flat to use to lay on while putting on the hitch. I have a drive way and this made the process much easier also.

The material is strong and feels heavy worked great to tow my little trailer and tool box. However, the installation is an entirely different story! The bar was about two inches narrower then the frame. The bolts provided where to short to make up the difference. There were no spacers to help either. I triple checked to make sure that what I ordered is what was sent and that this is the correct 20min install unit. Sadly it was. I recommend that you measure the gap between frame rails and then make the company measure to ensure you get the right size.

I liked it gor the short time i had it.
I was pulling my Harley. And a man hit me from behind at a red light, he put his truck up on my trailer with my Hsrlwy. The csr jacknifef. And the tow hitch was pushed up under my car.

This product was simply amazing to work with. I purchased it for my 2004 Kia Sorento thinking I would have to do some customizing on it but no way! It fit like a charm! My wife and I tag teamed the installation in under 30 minutes! The wiring harness was exactly right as well. It was remarkably easy to work with and absolutely no tweeking needed! I am thrilled with this purchase and am seriously considering getting another to throw on my Subaru Outback. Thank you E TRAILER for an amazing product!

I received my hitch in a timely manner, all the parts were there,etc.. However, when I began installing the hitch I discovered that after getting a bolt started on one side there was a 1/2 " gap between the hitch bracket and the frame rail on the opposite side, and the bolt provided was not long enough to get started in the frame bolt hole. I'm going to get a longer bolt to finish the installation. The hitch brackets don't appear to be bent so... Otherwise, I'm happy with the product, and wiil be ordering trailer tires soon.

- Can the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack be Used for Bikes with FendersThe 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...
view full answer... - The Bolts Are To Short To Install My Curt Hitch # C13513 On My 2008 Kia SorentoWhat 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...
view full answer... - Where Does Curt Hitch for 2007 Kia Sorento Install on Vehicle FrameFor 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 LibertyAll 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...

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.

- Hitch And Installer Recommendation for 2004 Nissan MuranoFor 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...
view full answer... - Recommended Lighting/Wiring Kit for 2008 KIA Sorento LXIt 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...

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...
view full answer... - Will Installing Curt Class III # C13513 Interfere with Spare Tire on 2006 Kia SorentoThe 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...

The written instructions, a helpful article and an installation video are linked to help you. In this 2-inch Class III hitch you can use a 2-inch bike rack.

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...
