Expert Reply:

I sure can Jesse. The Curt Hitch item # C37RV and the Curt Wiring Harness item # C34FR73HY are indeed confirmed to fit your 2026 Kia Sorento EX Hybrid.

The Curt Hitch item # C37RV is a custom fit class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It comes with all hardware necessary to complete the installation.

The Curt Wiring Harness item # C34FR73HY will plug directly into the factory wiring harness behind your Kia's rear tail lights. It will provide you with a 4-way connector capable of operating your trailer or accessories lighting functions.

If you plan on towing a trailer or adding lights to a bike rack or cargo carrier, here are some other parts I recommend:

Mounting Brackets - Mounting Bracket for 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C42CR and item # C83DR

Ball Mount - Trailer Valet Ball Mount w/ 2" Ball item # TV97ZR

Locking Hitch Pin - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches item # e98880

Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar - etrailer item # e38FV

I installed the Curt C37RV Class III on my 2023 Kia Sorento SX Hybrid and it fit perfectly. You do need to drop the exhaust system a few inches to get it to align with the frame on the passenger side. I did not try the wiring harness.

@MarkB That's a good heads up Mark. Glad you were able to get the hitch installed and it fit so well. Thanks for coming back and letting us know.

My wife and I installed our hitch in about 30 minutes. We didn’t even need to jack up the vehicle. Easy and fit perfectly. We didn’t even not purchase the wiring harness because we only use the hitch to haul our E-bikes. Would highly recommend this hitch.
