This hitch is NOT an exact fit for my KIA Niro EV but I knew that before buying. After slightly modify the mounting holes, I was able to install in my Niro EV. I only use this hitch for my bicycle rack and I haven't had and issue.
Nicely made and a very good bargain at $125. Shipping was quick. I installed this unit on a 2020 Kia Nira EV EX. Etrailer does not support this installation for good reasons. I wanted to let folks know that it is possible to modify this unit to fit on a Nira EV but, I would not recommend this unless you are prepared to make modifications which may weaken the unit. The unit fits on the frame rails correctly but most of the holes do not line up correctly so you'll have to drill additional holes and trim flanges to clear the bolts/washers. I'm using the hitch for a lightweight bike rack so I'm comfortable with the modifications. Your situation will be different.
Steve - 11/12/2021My 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.
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!
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.
The hitch works great. It was easy to install and looks great. No issues with any part of the sale or the hitch.
Lorne - 01/02/2022My second purchase from eTrailer over the yers and they continue to excel. I installed the Curt Class III hitch receiver on my Sister-In-Law's Kia Nero so she is able to add a rear cargo carrier for her various road trips. Installation per the video is flawless and the fitment is perfect. Tip for the one man DYI in the garage. Insure to use jack stands to support your car of course on both sides. Use your hydraulic jack with some wood blocks and you will be able to support the hitch by yourself. Not recommended, but if you take your time, it is possible.
Great installation videos and shipment tracking. Product quality appears to very good as well.
Great product. Easy to install and I used the helpful video to install it myself. Use it with a bike rack and works great.
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.
Totally pleased with ordering service and my installation was easy. Definitely would recommend etrailer.com. Much more reasonably priced for top quality items.
Great hitch. This is my 3rd or 4th hitch I have ordered from etrailer over the years. The install video is priceless. Hardware is all great. Excellent!
Super happy with my purchase and support from e-trailer! I watched the video a couple times and it completely prepared me for success. The fit was perfect. The space bar/carriage bolt with pull wire made me feel like a pro and worked just as advertised. I'll use this hitch for my 1up USA bike rack 2-3 times a week. Thanks e-trailer!
Love it. It was easy to install on my Kia Niro, and I didn’t even need to cut the underbody panels. Works great. so far I only used it for a bike carrier
EVERYTHING IS TOP QUALITY, I INSTALLED IT WITH GREAT INSTRUCTION AS SOON AS IT ARRIVED.I WILL RECOMMENED USING ETRAILER TO MY FRIENDS.
Etrailer is my place to go for hitches, great install videos, and excellent customer service!
Great product for my Kia Niro Plugin. As previous reviews have noted, the plug-in requires a slight modification in notching the passenger side to accommodate an electrical conduit, but other than that the hitch and hardware all worked as planned. I was able to install by myself with the aid of some floor stands, although I'd recommend having a friend for this part as the hitch is measured very precisely and would be easier to push into place with two people.
Works great. Easy to install. Nice looking as well.
Hitch works as expected and is used in tandem with a platform 3 bike Kuat Transfer rack. 5th hitch I’ve purchased from Etrailer and very satisfied with each.
Easy install, great fit. Makes car much more useful
Quick delivery, clear installation inst ructions.
Although the pictures on the instructions were a little hard to make out the installation was easy enough but you will have to be strong or have some help. The trailer is very solid and inexpensive. Comes with all the hardware you need to bolt it up. I would recommend supporting the exhaust with something 6-8 inches tall like a block of wood or something so as to not cause too much stress on the front exhaust connections.
Worked like a charm, hauled a 6ft U-haul 500 miles, and used a cargo carrier for 800 with no issues.
Easy instal I love it
