Question:

I have a 2017 Kia Sedona and will be towing a trailer that is 17-18inch from the ground to the hitch receiver. Which ball hitcher receiver should I get for my Draw Tite trailer hitch?

Expert Reply:

In order to determine the correct amount of rise/drop you will need in a ball mount you will want to measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on your trailer while level then subtract this measurement from the ground to the top of the inside edge on the hitch for your 2017 Kia Sedona. I have attached a help article that will walk you through this process as well.

When we installed the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75894 on a 2015/2016 Kia Sedona we found this measurement to be 11-1/4" and 11-3/4" respectively. Assuming you measured the trailer correctly then you will want to use a ball mount with around a 5" rise and for this I recommend the Curt Ball Mount part # C45446.

If you also need a hitch ball then I recommend using part # C48810 for 1-7/8", part # A-90 for 2", or part # C40008 for 2-5/16". You will also need a hitch pin like part # C21500.
