    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

We all must know how expensive it is to install a hitch in a dealership (at least here in the US, it is about 1k, yeah, insane) I am looking for a recommendation for a hitch that can be installed in a Kia Telluride Prestige 2025 AWD
 
2024 LX. I selected the Curt one. Simple and VERY straightforward to install. Wiring not so easy. My taillights needed to come out and get hooked into for the electrical connector. I assisted my former shop foreman during the installation. I was impressed with the ease of fitment of the receiver part.

To backup the hardware because I HATE rust, I used 3M Rocker Schutz coating.
Whilst expensive it is a hundredfold better than cheapo "undercoat" to protect the ends where the receiver attached. This is the stuff found on the lower rocker panels of old school German cars. Also the under-floor.
I chose an off white color.

 
I installed the concealed hitch from etrailer.com, you will need to buy the tow kit separately.

The concealed is more expensive but I went with it because my car is fully de-badged and I didn't want to ruin the clean look of the rear end.

Two things to note, a full size tire will not fit, the temporary spare will work, or you can go a size down in thickness on the original wheel and it will fit.
