Question:

I want a class 3 hitch for my 2022 Sportage but idk if I should go with the Curt or etrailer. I plan on using it for a bike rack. What should I get?

I personally like the Curt Hitch # C13281 over the etrailer # e72TR for your 2022 Kia Sportage because the safety chain loops sit out to the side on the Curt but they sit under the receiver for the etrailer which means you'll have less ground clearance. Check out the attached photos to see what I'm talking about.

If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the RockyMounts WestSlope # RKY10222 which I really like for it's U-Shaped frame because it makes it much easier to install and remove your bikes.

Attached is an installation video of the Curt hitch and a review video of the bike rack for you to check out.
