Will etrailer Hitch Work with Kick Assist Feature on a 2024 Kia Telluride
Updated 01/12/2026 | Published 09/04/2024
Question:
We do a lot of trailer hitch installations and I have a common question for the kick assist tailgates. If we install a trailer hitch on IE 2024 Kia Telluride a vehicle with the kick assist rear hatch, will that feature still work on a standard trailer hitch or would we need to change them to a Stealth Hitch receiver?

Hey Matthew, thanks for reaching out!
The trailer hitch interfering with a kick lift-assist feature will vary from vehicle to vehicle, but for your 2024 Kia Telluride, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e45ZR won't interfere with the kick assist feature.

Hey Matthew, did the etrailer hitch on your Telluride keep the kick assist working like expected? Your update could make it easier for others adding a hitch to the same vehicle.
