Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2024 Kia EV6

Updated 01/19/2026 | Published 08/11/2024

Question:

Is this the right one for a Thule 2inch bike rack and e-mountain bike use? Not for towing just for the rack. Also could I install or I need to bring to an installer and how much would you estimate the cost to install. I am not near your suggested installers but there are plenty of places where they install trailer hitches near me.

Hey Steve, yes you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96RV with a Thule 2" bike rack. The install does not appear to be overly complicated but there is some underbody panels that will requiring trimming so I'd say if you're not comfortable doing that, then I'd take it to a professional.

I've linked the Installer Locator below for you to check out. Basically you'll need to enter your ZIP in the box and we will display all of the available installers near you.

Hey Steve, how did things go with the Curt hitch and your Thule bike rack setup? Were you able to get it installed locally without any issues? Sharing what worked could help others planning a similar setup.
