Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Kia Sportage, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite Class III Custom Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver, part number 76074. So, here's what our hitch is going to look like once we have it installed. The cross tube's going to hide behind the buffer nicely and all we're going to see is the receiver tube sticking out. Now, it is a Class II hitch, which means it's going to give us that 2" by 2" receiver tube opening. And as you can see, it has a nice reinforced collar, just adding to that finished look.Now, the way we're mount any of our accessories is going to be with this hole towards the front, going to accept a standard 5/8" pin and clip. They're not included, but you can pick one up on our website, using part number PC3.

Now, the secondary hole here is going to be for a J-pin stabilization device. And that's going to be great for any accessories that don't have a built in anti-rattle. Now, the way that's going to work is, is you're going to have a J-pin like this and it's going to go through your hitch pin hole. And then the other area is going to come in and apply pressure to your accessory through that secondary hole. And you're going to have a knot that's going to thread on, that's going to pull that accessory to the side, keeping it from rattling around.

And it's also a locking device to keep all your accessories secure.Now, you can also pick up one of these on our website. A nice added feature of our Draw-Tite hitch is it's going to have this bracket right here just to the left of our receiver tube opening and that's going to be for any electrical connector that we would like to mount. That way whenever we're ready to tow, our electrical will be right here for us. Now, as far as the safety chain connection points go, we're going to have a couple of plates that are welded on the side of our receiver tube and they're going to drop down just right below. Now, it's going to give up plenty of room to hook most sized hooks on and off.

And since they're below our receiver tube, we're not going to have to worry about any kind of interference with either the J-pin, a standard pin and clip or even a locking device.Now, as far as weight is concerned, our hitch is going to have a 675 pound tongue weight, along with a 4,500 pound gross trailer weight rating. Now, it is designed to work with weight distribution systems as well. And those weights are going to stay the same. However, I do want to mention and recommend that you double check your Kia's Owner's Manual to make sure that you don't ever exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight. Like to give you a few measurements that'll help you when decided for accessories for your new hitch, such as a ball mount, bike rack or even a cargo carrier.

From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer most edge of the bumper it's going to be right about 5". Now, from the ground to the inside top edge of the receiver tube opening, that's going to be right about 13".Now that we've seen what our hitch looks like and gone over some of the features, let's show you how to get it installed. To being our installation, we're going to need to come to the back of our vehicle and right by the exhaust, we're going to have this plastic panel on the outside. Now, there's going to be a one on each side and we're going to need to remove it. Now, in order to remove it, we're going to have two pushpin fasteners along the edge here. We'll take a flathead screwdriver as we come right to the center section, there's a little indentation. We're going to come and pop that center section out and then come behind the outer section and we can pull the rest of the clip out.Now, we move forward right behind the rear wheel. We're going to have another pushpin fastener we're going to need to remove. So, we're going to want to pull the wheel liner back just a bit so we can get a hold of that plastic cover. And if you look up, we're going to have these white plastic clips that are holding it in place on those studs. Now, those are just kind of press fit in there, so you're going to want to give it a good tug to pull the panel down and those clips may come out of the cover, but that's alright. And since it did come out of the cover, you're just going to want to unthread it off the stud and then we can just press it back into the cover. And if you're having a little bit of trouble getting it back in, just go ahead and grab you a set of pliers and press it until it pops back into place.We're going to need to lower our exhaust. So I'm going to take a strap to help support it. I'm just going to want to find a
