Kia Sorento Hitch FAQs
1. How do I find the right hitch for my Kia Sorento?
The best way to find a hitch for your Kia Sorento is to use the CURT vehicle lookup tool. Simply enter your model year to view custom-fit options designed for a secure and seamless installation.
2. What size hitch receiver does the Kia Sorento use?
Most CURT trailer hitches for the Kia Sorento come with a standard 2" receiver, which is compatible with a wide range of towing accessories. Some models may also have a 1-1/4" receiver option for lighter-duty applications.
3. How much weight can my Kia Sorento tow with a hitch?
Towing capacity varies based on your Sorento’s model year, engine, and drivetrain. Some Kia Sorentos are rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs., while others are only rated up to 2,000 lbs. Always check your owner’s manual for exact towing limits, and remember that your towing capacity is determined by the lowest-rated component in your setup.
4. Does the Kia Sorento come with a factory-installed hitch?
Some Kia Sorento models may come with a factory-installed hitch as part of a towing package, but many do not. If your Sorento doesn’t have one, CURT offers custom-fit hitches that provide a strong, secure connection for towing.
5. Can I install a trailer hitch on my Kia Sorento myself?
Yes! CURT hitches are designed for easy installation with a vehicle-specific fit. Many installations require minimal modifications, and each hitch includes detailed instructions. However, if you prefer professional installation, you can find a local installer through CURT’s dealer network.
6. What accessories can I use with my Kia Sorento hitch?
Your Kia Sorento hitch may be able to be used for towing a trailer, but it’s also great for hitch-mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. Be sure to check that any accessory you choose is compatible with your hitch’s receiver size and weight capacity.
7. Can I use a weight distribution hitch with my Kia Sorento?
If you’re towing a heavier trailer, a weight distribution hitch can help improve stability and handling. However, not all Kia Sorento models are rated for weight distribution, so be sure to check your owner’s manual and hitch specifications before use.
8. How can I protect my Kia Sorento’s hitch from rust and wear?
CURT hitches are finished with a dual-coat for superior corrosion resistance, but you can further protect your hitch by using a hitch tube cover when it’s not in use. Regularly cleaning the receiver and applying lubricant to moving parts will also help extend its lifespan.
