However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Kia K5 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.

Yes, the CURT Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver, Select Kia K5 Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK11623) is designed to fit the 2021-2026 Kia K5.
The CURT Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver, Select Kia K5 Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK11623) Drilling is not required for installation. Typical installation time is 30-60 minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The CURT 11623 has a gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity of 2,000 lbs and a tongue weight (TW) capacity of 200 lbs. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Yes. The underbody panel must be removed to access the hitch mounting area. Four push fasteners and two nuts secure it. After removal, the panel is trimmed and reinstalled after the hitch is mounted.
Yes, if your vehicle is equipped with a charcoal canister, it must be removed during installation. The canister is lowered and its hardware returned to the owner. After the hitch is installed, the canister is reinstalled using the supplied M8 hex bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and round hole spacers, with a spacer placed between the frame rail and canister.
The exhaust system must be lowered during installation. Two nuts on the rear-most exhaust bracket and two rubber exhaust hangers are removed to allow the exhaust to be lowered. The exhaust must be supported before removing the hangers. After the hitch is installed, the exhaust is raised back into position and the rubber hangers are reinstalled.
Required tools include: ratchet, sockets (10mm, 12mm, 17mm), socket extension (6"), torque wrench, rotary cutting tool or reciprocating saw, die grinder, flathead screwdriver, aviation shears, exhaust removal pliers, tape measure, marker, and tape. A 5/8" open-end wrench can substitute for exhaust removal pliers if needed.
The kit includes: 4 carriage bolts (7/16"), 4 serrated flange nuts (7/16"), 4 square hole spacers (0.250" × 0.88" × 2.25"), 4 fishwires (7/16"), 2 hex bolts (M8), 2 flat washers (5/16"), 2 lock washers (5/16"), and 2 round hole spacers (0.500" × 1.25" × 2.50").
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Consult your vehicle manufacturer's service manual or contact CURT Product Support at 877-287-8634 for guidance specific to your vehicle.
The manual rates this installation as 'Easy' based on time and effort involved, though difficulty may vary depending on installer expertise, vehicle condition, and availability of proper tools. The installation involves part removal, trimming, hole enlargement, and use of a fishwire technique. If you are not comfortable with these tasks, professional installation is recommended.
Yes. You must support the exhaust before removing the rubber hangers and nuts in Step 2. Failure to support the exhaust can cause damage to the exhaust system.
Yes. The forward-most attachment hole on each frame rail must be enlarged to 1/2" diameter using a grinder. You may also need to enlarge the access hole to allow fishwiring of hardware. The heat shield and underbody panel must be trimmed using the trim diagrams provided in the manual.
According to the trim diagram on page 5, trim the heat shield and underbody panel as follows: 11-1/2" from one reference point, 3" from another, 6" from another, 7" from another, and 4" from another. Refer to the trim diagrams in Step 5 for exact reference points and orientation on your vehicle.
Yes. The hole enlargement to 1/2" diameter and trimming of the heat shield and underbody panel are permanent modifications to your vehicle. These cannot be easily reversed.
All 7/16" hardware (carriage bolts and serrated flange nuts) must be torqued to 59 ft-lbs.
All M8 hardware (hex bolts, flat washers, and lock washers) used to reinstall the charcoal canister must be torqued to 23 ft-lbs.
The forward-most attachment hole on each frame rail must be enlarged to 1/2" diameter using a grinder.
The fishwire is used to guide the 7/16" carriage bolts and square hole spacers through the frame rails via the access holes. The coiled end of the fishwire is inserted through the hitch mounting hole and out the access hole, passed through the spacer, and threaded into the bolt coil. The wire is kinked to keep the spacer separate from the bolt. The fishwire then guides the hardware through the frame and prevents loss of bolts or spacers inside the frame rail.
The fishwire is left attached to the hardware after Step 6. It is removed in Step 7 after the hitch is raised into position and the fishwire is fed through the slots. The hitch is then secured using the serrated flange nuts.
Remove components in this order: (1) underbody panel (four push fasteners and two nuts); (2) charcoal canister if equipped (two bolts); (3) exhaust bracket nuts and rubber hangers (support exhaust first); (4) heat shield (three nuts); (5) rubber plugs and adhesive covers from mounting and access holes.
Reinstall components in this order: (1) trimmed heat shield (after Step 6); (2) trimmed underbody panel; (3) exhaust system and rubber hangers; (4) charcoal canister if equipped, using M8 hex bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and round hole spacers.
Use caution when handling trimmed heat shield and underbody panel—the edges may be sharp. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves to avoid cuts.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The CURT 11623 has a gross trailer weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, but your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit. Always follow the more restrictive specification.
Periodic inspection of the hitch should be performed to ensure all hardware and components remain secure. The manual does not specify the inspection interval or detailed checklist. Contact CURT Product Support at 877-287-8634 or visit curtmfg.com for detailed post-installation inspection guidance.
The manual does not specify a retorque interval. Contact CURT Product Support at 877-287-8634 or visit curtmfg.com for maintenance and retorque recommendations.
The manual does not specify vehicle make, model, or year compatibility. Contact CURT Product Support at 877-287-8634 or visit curtmfg.com to verify fitment for your specific vehicle.
