Question:

I need a 2 inch hitch for my 2021 Kia Sportage. I'll mostly use it for a bike rack, but I might pick up a small cargo trailer in the future for taking the riding mower to get serviced. Which hitch and accessories will I need?

Expert Reply:

Because it has a slightly higher tongue weight capacity than the Curt # C13281, I'd recommend going with the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 76074. The Draw-Tite hitch has a 675 lb tongue weight capacity which makes it the perfect choice for carrying a bike rack or other hitch mounted accessory like a # C18151 cargo carrier.

For a trailer wiring harness, I'd recommend the # 118698 trailer wiring harness, a ball mount like part # 2753 and for a trailer ball, use # 19261 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

I've linked to install videos for the hitch and the trailer wiring harness I recommended.
