I love working on my car especially when it comes to saving money its almost $500 to install a hitch on my car. Thank you this was very informative tutorial

[@antonmicallef1494]

Good job mate, you make it look so simple with your chill attitude. 🇦🇺

Thanks for the video. I was able to do it myself, though a 2nd set of hands would have been nice. I also didn't have the hanger removal tool, but a pair of channel locks with tape on the jaws worked fine

[@graceyseda176]

How long did installation take since you did it on your own?

[@Teknik666]

@@graceyseda176 maybe an hour?

[@graceyseda176]

Overall how long did the installation take? 45 minutes to an hour 1:15 minutes or more? Please let me know, thanks

Is the hitch for kia sportage 2015 compatible with kia sportage 2018??

[@giuseppegrippi3508]

What setting do you put it on

[@johntedesco1645]

Looking for a answer ... Is the mounting holes and clearances the same on the 2022 Kia Sportage as the 2021 or 2020? I can't find a hitch listed for the 2022 Sportage... A lot for the 21....

Think 17 thru 22 Sportages use the same hitch. They aren't cheap either. Around 175.00 average without ball mount or anti rattle thingy.

[@Khadijahlloyd]

Can we do this installation at home?

[@trailerhitches]

That's completely up to you, but we made this video so you could decide!

Sportage only can tow 2000lbs. Why such a beefy hitch??
