Congrats on the new vehicle! To add a hitch with a 2" receiver to your 2021 Kia Telluride you will want the etrailer Hitch item # e45ZR. This hitch is custom fit and is guaranteed to bolt to your Kia with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the cross tube mounts behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" x 2" receiver visible.

The etrailer Hitch item # e45ZR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver it weighs 46 lbs. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. This can be increased to 6,000 lbs when used with a weight distribution system.

I have linked a couple of pictures below so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed and also included an installation video so you can see the process.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C68JR if you have the factory tow package or item # 119250KIT if you do not and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. If you get the 7-way all you will need is item # 18136. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
