Question:
Do I have to cut or trim anything to install your etrailer hitch on a 2024 Kia Telluride?

Expert Reply:
Yes, there is! You have to make a small 2" x 3-1/8" cut in the trim below the bumper for the 2" receiver of the etrailer item # e45ZR to stick through. I have linked the installation instructions below along with an installation video so you can see this step demonstrated. The cuts that need to be made are only visible from beneath your Kia. You won't be able to see them from the side or back.
The etrailer Hitch item # e45ZR has been confirmed to fit the 2024 Kia Telluride. It is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight.
