Is OEM Hitch Cover Needed with Install of Curt Hitch C36RV on 2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line  

Updated 09/15/2025 | Published 05/25/2025

Question:

Do you know if the extra tow hitch cover is needed with this hitch for the GT-Line? Or will it sit just below the trim piece? OEM part number is DOF61-AU790

Hey Lucas, this is a great question but the Curt hitch part # C36RV that fits your 2024 Kia EV9 GT-Line does not require the OEM hitch cover that you mentioned. That is only needed for the OEM hitches.

Hey Lucas, did the Curt hitch fit well on your Kia EV9 GT-Line without the need for the extra hitch cover? I'm curious to know because it could help others with similar setups.

@JamesonC yes it did, I just had to cut out the indicated area in the supplied underbody panel.
