Question:
Installing a hitch on a 2023 Kia Sorento. I need a 2" receiver.

Expert Reply:
To add a 2" hitch to your 2023 Kia Sorento, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C34ER. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube is completely concealed behind the rear bumper. This leaves only the 2" receiver exposed, which not only helps with ground clearance but it also looks better.
I have attached a couple of pictures below, along with an installation video, so you can see what this hitch will look like once installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 118269 if you have the factory towing package, or item # TK26FR if you do not have the factory towing package, 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. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
