Question:
I have a gas-model 2027 Kia Telluride without the factory towing package, hitch, or trailer wiring. We're buying a small camper with electric brakes and a 7-way plug. What parts do I need to get it ready? I'd prefer a brake controller that doesn't leave a big box hanging under the dash.

Hey Jason! For a complete setup on your 2027 Kia Telluride I recommend the following:
-Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C82RJ
-Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236
-Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7
-Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR
-etrailer Adjustable 2-Ball Mount # e66PR
-etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV
The Curt hitch is a Class III with a 2" receiver and has a bolt-on installation. The # C59236 will add a 4-way, then you will upgrade to a 7-way using the # ETBC7 which will allow you to install a brake controller. The Liberty is simple, reliable, and will look like an OEM brake controller once installed.
The adjustable ball mount lets you tow a variety of trailers. If you know the rise/drop you need you can get a simple fixed ball mount as well. Then the anti-rattle will keep everything nice and solid.

We're looking at a small Jayco. I like the idea of the adjustable ball mount since we might end up getting a utility trailer down the road too.
