Question:
Trailer hitch for Kia cadenza Do I need to change my rear shocks for towing?
asked by: Ernie
Expert Reply:
I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12118 on your 2015 Kia Cadenza. This hitch has a tongue weight rating of 350lbs and 3,500lb trailer rating. You will want to ensure that you do not exceed the weight ratings given by the manufacturer for your vehicle. This will not require you to change your rear shocks. If your suspension is sagging you should check that the weight on the trailer is distributed properly across the trailer and you do not have to much tongue weight. You typically want 10% of the trailers weight to be on the ball. To much weight will lift the front of the vehicle and lessen steering and braking. To little weight you will cause the trailer to sway uncontrollably.
For towing you will need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496 to give you the electrical connection for the lights on the trailer. A Curt Class II Drawbar # C45522 with 1-7/8" Ball # C40001 or 2" Ball # C40018 will give you the physical connection.
The Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT will allow you to lock the drawbar in your receiver as well as have locks for the trailer coupler when you are towing and when the trailer is disconnected.
