Question:

What hitch do your recommend for a 2024 Kia Sportage?

asked by: Stuart

Expert Reply:

To add a hitch to your 2024 Kia Sportage, I recommend the etrailer item # e38KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware.

I really like this hitch because the crossbar mounts behind your bumper cover which leaves only the 2" receiver visible. This not only helps the look of your Kia but it also improves ground clearance.

The etrailer Hitch item # e38KR is a class III hitch, with a 2" receiver, it has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch can not be used with weight distribution systems.

I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see how to get this hitch set up and what it will look like.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C99DR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
