Hitch Ball

~1min read

It is important to use the correct towing equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks passing by, and uneven road surfaces are some of the reasons you need the correct hitch. Observe the following guidelines:

  • Is it necessary to drill holes in the vehicle body when installing a trailer hitch? If you do, be sure to seal the holes later when you remove the hitch.
  • Your vehicle's bumpers are not designed for towing. Do not attach rental hitches or other bumper-type hitches to them. Use only a frame-mounted trailer hitch that does not attach to the bumper.
  • A Kia trailer hitch is available from an authorized Kia dealer.
