Hi Steve; we don't actually have the Curt # C98RV in hand since it is a pre-order. The only information we have right now is that it will fit with the factory tow package since it plugs into the factory tow port.

Sometimes this style fits without the factory tow package since the manufacturer includes the plug one way or another. Sometimes you have the plug but have to go to the dealer to activate the tow package. I would check with your local dealer to see if they have any information on this or you can at least look to see if you have the same plug on your Carnival.

As of right now, I can confirm that the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 will fit your 2025 Kia Carnival without the factory tow package. This is just a universal harness that uses quick splices. There is a little more to the installation but if you need one it definitely works.

I went ahead and attached an installation video below for your reference.

Hey Steve, how did things go with the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter on your 2025 Carnival? Did it give you the trailer lighting you needed without the factory tow package? Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar wiring setup.

Hey Jacob, sorry for any confusion but the correct trailer wiring kit you need for your 2025 Kia Carnival is the Curt part #CU94FR that you mentioned. The other part number was basically a preorder harness as we anticipated a new part number release…

Aaron yes, the Hybrid and Non-Hybrid Hyundai Santa Fe's can use the same hitch. As far as wiring goes, I'm not seeing anything that is custom so you'd be limited to a universal harness #C47NR.

Hey Gerald, yes we do have a 7-way connector coming for your 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid with the Curt #C48RV. It's a pre-order at this time (Feb 2025) so basically it won't ship super quick or anything.

Hey Brett! The Curt TruTrack 2P Weight Distribution System #C69JR uses a ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank. If you're planning to switch to a 2" ball you can use the #A-90. What kind of trailer are you towing?

Answer 8

Hey Ivan! The Curt #C37RV and TowSmart #TS44ZR probably do sit a little lower than the factory hitch, but it doesn't look like it is a significant amount. The bumper is slightly different with a cutout for the hitch if you have the factory hitch.…
