What Size Trailer Hitch is Available for 2021 Kia Seltos

Updated 07/28/2020 | Published 07/24/2020

Question:

I’ve seen this question asked already and the answer stated that only larger SUV’s and Trucks will have a 2 inch receiver. That’s not true, the Subaru Crosstrek which is considered to be in the same series as the Kia Seltos has a lower towing capacity than the Seltos and it has 2 inch hitch receiver options. I would really like to see a 2 inch option for the Seltos because I don’t want to buy a 1.25 receiver package.

I can definitely understand wanting the 2 inch hitch size but none of our manufacturers offer one for the Seltos. The Subaru vehicles are a bit of an exception to the reasoning you mentioned. We've found this is due to the fact Subaru offers a 2 inch hitch for the vehicle as well which means the frame and chassis was on some level designed for higher towing capacities. Your 2020 Kia Seltos currently only has a 1-1/4 inch hitch available for it like the # C65FR.
