Question:

I bought Curt 13526 for my 2009 Kia Sportage 4 cyl. Your video shows one exhaust. As I look at my Kia getting ready for installation, it has two. Will that make a difference or do I just put it up over both of them?

Yes, the CURT Trailer Hitch, # 13526, will fit a 2009 Kia Sportage with dual exhaust. If you look at the fourth picture on the product page, you will see the hitch installed on a dual exhaust model. The instructions, linked for reference, also show the hitch using a dual exhaust model as an example.

If you plan to do some towing, the recommended ball mount is # AMSC2 and you can use pin and clip # PC3. For a ball, you can use # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter), # 19247 (2 inch diameter), or # 19287 (2-5/16 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, use T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, # 118401. I have included a link to the installation details and a video showing a typical installation for you to view.
