The 04 - 10 KIA Sportage -- 1.25in. CURT Trailer Hitch + Ball Mount + Cover + Lock Kit by CURT HWA1640 (Part #HWA1640) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, Curt part number 12126 is designed for Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson vehicles. However, the manual does not specify which model years are compatible. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your retailer to confirm fitment for your specific year and generation.
The Curt 12126 has a gross load capacity of 3500 lbs trailer weight and 300 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the maximum towing limit.
The kit includes 6 hex cap screws (HHCS) M10×1.25×35 mm, class 10.9, zinc-plated (part 10-10298) and 6 conical washers 7/16 inch (part 30-00163). These fasteners secure the hitch to the existing frame weld nuts on both sides of the vehicle.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts in the frame rails, so no new holes need to be created.
Two steps are required before installation: (1) Remove the exhaust hangers and lower the exhaust system for ease of installation, and (2) Remove the tow hooks and return them to the customer. The exhaust hangers must be reinstalled after the hitch is secured.
Raise the hitch into position and secure it using the 6 hex bolts (M10×1.25×35) and conical washers provided. Insert the fasteners through the hitch mounting holes and thread them into the existing weld nuts on both the driver and passenger side frame rails.
All 10 mm fasteners must be torqued to 48 lb-ft. This applies to all 6 hex bolts used to secure the hitch to the frame weld nuts.
After the hitch is secured and torqued, reinstall the exhaust hangers that were removed in the first step. This restores the exhaust system to its original position and support.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safe operation and prevent loosening due to vibration and use.
The Curt 12126 is designed for use with ball mount part number D-18 / 45518. Consult Curt Manufacturing or your retailer for information about other compatible ball mounts.
Yes, the Curt 12126 is designed for Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson. Confirm your specific model year with the retailer.
No. The hitch uses existing frame weld nuts—no drilling needed.
Remove the exhaust hangers and lower the exhaust, then remove the tow hooks. Reinstall the exhaust hangers after the hitch is secured.
Gross load capacity is 3500 lbs trailer weight and 300 lbs tongue weight. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
