Hey Robert!

Both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C37RV and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e24ZV are confirmed fits for your 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid, so either one will work.

These two hitches are essentially identical in their construction and installation. The main difference is the finish: the Curt # C37RV has a glossy black powder coat, while the etrailer # e24ZV has a matte black finish.

Between the two, I prefer the # e24ZV. The matte black finish tends to blend in a little better underneath the Sorento and gives the hitch more of a factory-installed appearance.

What are you planning to tow or carry with your Sorento? I can also make sure you have the correct wiring and ball mount if needed.

I purchased the curt c37rv for a 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe, it fit perfectly and is very heavy duty

@Gregory Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear it's working out for you! What do you normally tow or carry with your Santa Fe?

Robert , I have ordered three different hitches from E Trailer over the years and they all worked excellent ! I used the C37RV on my 2023 Kia Sorento Hybrid. Installation wasn't bad at all. The Sorento Hybrids have a max tow capacity of 2000 pounds so just find the weight of your trailer and the weight of whatever you are hauling and stay under the 2000 lbs ! I have never had a problem with mine, just watch the weight !

Hi Bryce; U-Haul probably tried to use the Curt #C63RV which does not fit hybrid or SX models of the 2025 Sorento. None of the manufacturers make a custom wiring harness so the only option is a universal splice-in like #C59236 or the #119250KIT which…

Good question, Kurt! It took me a minute to figure it out, but the is one very minor difference. That being, the #119250KIT includes an added circuit tester (see pictures below). The actual wiring part ( #119251 ) is exactly the same for both parts.…
