Today on our 2016 Kia Sedona we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Curt Custom Fit Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver. This is Part No. C13115. Here's what the hitch is going to look like installed. As you can see, it tucks up pretty nicely underneath the bumper there, going to be visible all the way across. This one's going to have kind of a flush collar on the end of it. It really cleans up the look at the end here. It gives it a nice appearance. This is a Class III. We've got a 2" x 2" receiver tube opening. Now these work out really good for your bike racks, hitch cargo carriers, even four or five bike racks, big hitch cargo carriers. Of course towing is also a very good use for it. Now this uses a 5/8 diameter pinhole to secure our ball mounts, bike racks, whatever it's going to be. Any accessory you choose should also be a Class III accessory so it has the proper weight ratings and everything. Now here you can see our safety chain connection point is going to be a plate style with a very nice large opening. No matter what size of hook you're using it should be able to get connected on there without any kind of issue. Now if you are going to be towing with or without weight distribution, you've got a 400-pound ton weight rating. That's the maximum downward force we can put at the receiver tube opening. We're going to have a 4,000-pound gross trailer weight rating. That's going to be the total of our trailer and everything we've got loaded up on it. Of course, we do want to check the manual on the Sedona to see what its towing ratings is, and we'll go off of whichever of those numbers are the lowest. The installation is pretty straightforward. We've got an appearance panel we'll remove on the driver's side. Lower the exhaust. Use six provided bolts to go into existing weld nuts right into the frame of the vehicle and then put the exhaust back up. Really simple, really straightforward installation. A few measurements that you're going to find helpful in selecting your ball mount, bike rack or hitch cargo carrier will be from the ground to the inside tap edge of a receiver tube opening. We've got about 11-1/4". Then from the center of hitch pin hole to the outer most edge of our bumper it's about five. To get the car ready for our hitch, we want to expose our weld nuts that right underneath this panel. We're going to take off the one, two, three, four, five and then there's one tucked up inside here for the six pushpin fasteners that hold it into place. I'm just going to use a screwdriver, pop the middle of them out and then they should just be able to pull them out there. It'll just come right out. We'll return that to the customer or set it up in your garage. If you ever take your hitch off, you can put it back on. I'm going to take a cam buckle strap. I'm going to run it along the underside under the exhaust here. Just kind of cinch it up. What this is going to do is provide some support for our exhaust when we remove the exhaust hangers. We'll use a little bit of spray lube. We want to spray this hanger here and right up here in the middle we've got a second one. Spray that one down well. Then just in front of this muffler here, we're going to have two more. One right here, and one over here. We'll just use a screwdriver or pry bar. We'll just pry those off. Sometimes they'll just come off by hand. Yeah, see that one just popped off there. Sometimes they're not so cooperative. Right Then once that comes down we'll just slack off our strap a little bit and give us a little room to move that side-to-side. We'll be ready to raise our hitch up into position. On each side we'll have three attachment points. We've got one here, one here, and one here. They're going to be in the exact same spot on both sides. What we're going to do is just hit them with a little spray lubricant and our nylon tube brush. This is Part No. 814092. You just want to get any dirt, or rust, corrosion out of those weld nuts so our bolts will thread in easily. We'll do the same thing over on our passenger side and then we'll get our hitch installed. As we raise our hitch into position, it's a good idea to get an extra set of hands. We'll want to go over the passenger side exhaust first, then bring our driver side up. We're going to use the hardware provided. You got a hex-head bolt there, conical tooth washer. We want to be sure that the teeth of that washer face up towards our hitch. Line up our w
