Hey Robert, the Curt hitch # C77NR is a confirmed fit for your 2024 HEV Kia Niro EX and would work great to tow your small trailer. For trailer wiring then you'd want the Curt kit part # C36ZV and you'd be set. Do you have a trike carrier already?

Hey Robert, did the Curt hitch and wiring kit work out for towing your trailer with the Kia Niro? I'm asking because your experience could help others looking to set up their vehicles for towing.

Hey Thom, thanks for the pictures. No, that's not right. This is a complicated install. I found a video for it on Torklift's Youtube page. To install the EcoHitch item #EH72KR on your 2022 Kia Niro PHEV, you'll only use the hole…

Answer 8

Although both the Curt #C77NR and #C37BR both look to be identical there is a small difference in the #C77NR that allows it to be compatible with 2022 and 2023 Kia Niro models, whereas the #C37BR is only compatible with 2022 models.

According to Curt, the time it would take an experienced mechanic to install the #C77NR is 25 minutes. It would take the average person about an hour. I have attached the installation instructions below for your reference.

Answer 10

The Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch Ball, part #63845, you have referenced needs to be torqued to 250 foot pounds. It is recommended to frequently check that the ball is tightened to these specifications. If you are meaning the mounting bolts that are used to…

Answer 11

It's a pretty common practice to torque the lug nuts of a wheel to the recommended value and then check the torque value again after 50 to 100 miles to ensure they are still at spec. I've actually chosen to ignore the recommendation when I…

Answer 12

Since hitch bolts are torque-to-yield like with the etrailer hitch part #e98844 that you referenced it is not required that you retorque the hardware. Just one to spec and you're good.
