Question:

I have a 2019 Kia SORENTO L with a 2.4L,4 cylinder engine. Can it support a 2” hitch receiver? Or is a1-1/4” receiver the max? What receiver and wiring harness would you recommend for my model and year given that it is a 2.4L, 4cylinder engine?

Expert Reply:

Jim, based on the Kia Sorento manual you can tow a trailer without brakes up to 1,650 pounds, a trailer with brakes up to 2,000 pounds and with a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. For a hitch I say to go with a 2 inch receiver as it will give you more options than a 1 1/4 inch receiver. You can go with a more hidden design hitch part # 306-X7320. Or for a more economical option is part # e98843. For a wiring harness I recommend part # 118583 which will give you a four way flat. I have linked video installations on the parts below.
