All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). CURT has not posted a dedicated 13420 Telluride install clip yet, so start with install techniques and fascia trimming, then the shared 56420 wiring demo and ball-mount primer.

Telluride years and hitch shopping

Kia launched the Telluride as a three-row SUV with a strong Class 3 story. Hitch shopping is simpler than on many trucks because one CURT Class 3 covers the published lander years. Still confirm your owner’s manual tow rating and any factory tow-package notes before you order.

Years What we usually stock
2020–2025 Class 3: CURT 13420. Rated up to 5,000 lb GTW and 750 lb tongue weight on the hitch card — still limited by Kia’s rating. Wiring example: CURT 56420 for listed early Telluride years on the card.
Wiring note CURT 56420 is a 4-flat custom harness that lists 2020–2022 Telluride among Hyundai-Kia applications. Later years may need a different path — read the fitment table on the product page or contact us.
2026-and-newer Dedicated hitch year pages are not published yet. Use the trailer hitches collection and reach out if you need help matching a late Telluride.

Never exceed the vehicle maker’s tow rating for your trim, drivetrain, and tow package. A hitch rating is not a blank cheque to tow heavier than the SUV was designed for.

Canada checklist

  • Believe Kia’s tow rating for your trim and tow package — it beats any hitch brochure.
  • Budget time for bumper trim if the install sheet calls for it — rush cuts look permanent.
  • Plan for salt season — rinse the open-back receiver and protect the wiring plug when you can.
  • Bike racks that hang bikes vertically are called out as incompatible on the 13420 card — read that note.
