Hi I'm looking to install a hitch for 2022 Kia Carnival.
Since the car is so new, not many places has the hitch available. Does anyone know if the hitch from Kia Sedona would be an ok alternative?
Thanks in advance!

The Sedona hitch will not work. However, Curt Mfg is now advertising a hitch for the Carnival. I have ordered it and am waiting for it to ship in.

Hitches are available now. Was told they take 5 days to order and this is the picture I was provided with:

Please keep us posted if it works. Also if you have a link to said company for the hitch you ordered, could you please provide it?

No link, sorry. It was emailed to me by the dealership’s parts department. I think it’s time that Kia loaded accessories pics to their website like the Australian Kia site that was referenced on this forum.

Well, I ordered my hitch from a local Curt Dealer 2 weeks ago. They stated today they have no idea when it will ship. At this point, I believe Curt advertised a product they do not even have yet. Maybe they wanted to see the demand before they went to the trouble of manufacturing?

I just looked into the link shared above and it says that I wouldn’t get it until October 20th!! At this point I may have better chances waiting for them to start getting manufactured elsewhere. Thankfully I’m in no rush for it…yet.

Ouch! That's a long wait for a hitch. This site states it will ship in 2-3 days. Of course, they also want $589.99 for the hitch. 2022 Kia Carnival Tow Hitch (P014)

I called them and they said it would be a couple of days for them to get it and then another 2-3 days to ship. so the end of next week.

My goodness! It looks like someone is price gouging! I purchased mine at AutoAccessoriesGarage.com for $217.99, and I only waited two weeks to get it, and I'm thrilled with it!

Do I need to take the car to get this hitch professionally installed if I decide to get one?

Depending on your mechanical acumen you should be able to DIY. If you have doubts then have a professional do the install.
