I'm trying to find the best place to buy the Kia hitch (along with the Kia bumper cover and wiring harness). I've searched online until my eyes have crossed and the problem is the shipping costs which are ranging anywhere from $87 to well over $200. The best place I've found so far is TASCA Parts Online but I'm a little concerned over some recent reviews of customer's experience with them. Anybody here order from there?

I also checked a couple of dealerships and they are simply giving list prices for the equipment with no discount at all.

Any information would be appreciated!
 
I bought one on eBay from a Kia dealer. It was $328 including shipping - that's the best deal I could find. It looks like they still have some: Genuine Kia Tow Hitch S9F61-AU000 | eBay

I found the bumper cover for $38: 2020-2021 Kia Telluride Tow Hitch Black Cover S9F61-AU060 Kia Parts Store Kia Wholesale Parts Phoenix Dallas San Francisco Los Angeles Bay Area | Kia Parts Store

Both were genuine Kia parts and are currently on the vehicle.

I didn't get a wiring harness because we're just using it for a bike rack.
 
Thank you for the info. I actually saw that hitch on eBay and it's a possibility. I was hoping to order everything from one place because in theory it should save money with only one shipping charge, but may have to order from different places. I can get all 3 items from TASCA Parts online for $549 shipped. I just am concerned over several of their recent reviews on Google.

What's crazy, is when you look at shipping for just the bumper cover and the wiring harness, a lot of places are still wanting an insane $100+ to ship those 2 items. They can't weigh but a max 5 lbs with both of them together and the bumper cover isn't that big. I just don't understand the outrageous shipping charges.

I appreciate the response!

which bike rack did you put on the OEM hitch? my OEM hitch isnt compatible with the two racks (yakima and thule) i've tried given the shallow pin depth (~1").

I got mine from the same dealer! 100% perfect. The shipping is key and don't consider a price until you calculate the shipping as you know. I don't think they have any listed but you could call and ask. I actually called them to verify shipping time (it did take a bit of time) but they were helpful and great.

Here is another listing:


I have no relation to the seller. Paypal is so buyer friendly anymore (ask me since I sell a lot on Ebay!) that I have no hesitation. This looks like a dealer anyway.

It's an Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack. I purchased it way back in 2011 - they may have changed it in the 10 years since. It works great though.
