Expert Reply:

To add a 2" hitch to your 2023 Kia Carnival, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e36KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Kia with included hardware.

The etrailer Hitch item # e36KR is a class III hitch, with a 2" receiver, that weighs 41 lbs. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch can not be used with weight distribution systems. It is also made in the USA.

I have linked a couple of pictures below so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # CU94FR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

To attach this harness to your hitch, I recommend the Tow Ready Mounting Bracket item # 18144.
