etrailer | How to Install: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on your 2018 Kia Niro

[@bonearchetype]

Great instructional video. Thanks so much for posting this. I would have easily spent twice as long doing this install on my Niro. And in the Texas summer heat that is No Bueno. AWESOME!

Does this hitch work with the phev version as well? Thanks

Does cutting the plastic casing as shown at 7 minutes and 38 seconds make vehicle less weather resistant?

[@etrailer]

We have not seen any issues with weather resistance when trimming this panel with the installation of this hitch. www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Curt/C13329.html

[@frakafrocka]

does removing exhaust guard lead to long term issues?

[@etrailer]

The hitch itself helps to reduce the heat on the frame and other components. It will act as a heat sink for the muffler. www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Curt/C13329.html

This is exactly what I want for my 2018 Niro as well. Do you have a location around Portland Oregon or vicinity to get this type of installation? Thanks. (How much does this hitch weight?)

[@etrailer]

We recommend checking with a local shop that you trust to do the install. This hitch weighs about 29 lbs. www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Curt/C13329.html
