Is there a specific reason you’d prefer to tow without the self-leveling suspension?
They don't add any capability to the towing, are more expensive than regular shocks, and have been known to go out early.
I could see someone wanting this option for a bike rack.
Tangential question: How many bikes do you carry? Which rack do you have or are shopping for? I want to get something in a few months. Thx.

I tried ordering mine that way in mid-June, Salesman called me the next day saying they could not input the order with the hitch/harness option. I told him to just delete it, and I'll add it on myself later. I also did not want the self leveling shocks because of the cost to replace them if they go out. I would imaging if you get a bad one 7 or 8 years down the road, Kia will treat it as a consumable like brake pads, and you'll be buying it on your own. My friend had one go out on his Ram pickup, and think he said it was $1200 for the one shock. Lucky for him it was only a year old, so it was covered. He also had the audio head unit replaced, and that would have cost $3500 if it wasn't covered.
They’re definitely being made, as has been shown in the last few posts.
Another good example of why I avoid Fiat/Chrysler. A marriage of the worst US quality with the worst European quality.... I was really hoping when Chrysler was for sale that Toyota would buy them, mainly to get the Jeep product line, and infuse them with higher quality.
