Question:

Hi, trying to find a trailer hitch for my 2012 Kia sportage sx model. Can you help?

Expert Reply:

We'd be happy to help! Although the Draw-Tite # 75717 would fit for you, we'd recommend going with a US made product like the etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e84KR. The hitch is compatible with the SX trim.

If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # C56251. For a ball mount, use # D-28 and for a trailer ball, use # 40038 for a 2 inch ball or # C40002 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

I've linked to some install videos that you might find helpful.
