Question:

I have found the model that I want to attach a trailer behind, but on the photo of the product, there isnt the ball on which the trailer arm would sit. Is it just the angle of the picture, or is there another part to buy additionally? Kia Niro 2017

Sounds like you are looking for a ball mount to go with a hitch like the Curt part # C13329 which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Kia Niro. 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. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56165 which is a confirmed fit.
