• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    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...

“Harness” refers to the 4-wire connection from the trailer to the vehicle’s wiring. It’s the bundle of wires that tell the trailer lights left, right, and stop.
 
Ok, so that would be part of any trailer I may be pulling correct? Sorry for the ignorance, haven't towed much and only got just "in case"

Depends on your state laws but you may be limited to trailers under 3,500 lbs. There is a bunch of info on various threads on this forum on some shortcomings of the Kia tow options.

The harness would already be installed on the vehicle. This would be a 4 pin plug that is next (to the left) of your hitch. This is what your 4 pin trailer harness would plug into. You will be required to stay under the weight limits, without trailer brakes, required for the state you are driving in. Unless the trailer has surge brake system, this 4 pin harness will not accommodate trailer brakes.
