  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I have a 2014 Kia Optima that I would like to put a 2" trailer hitch on it so I can use a trailer hitch bike carrier. I have found some 1.25" trailer hitches for the Optima, but can't seem to find one in a 2" set-up. I would feel much better with the 2" hitch since it's beefier and would be more...

    Question (TL/DR): Will this custom hitch for the 2015 Optima models fit a 2012 SX? https://torkliftcentral.com/2015-kia-optima-ecohitch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXT2WWuPYDk I'm not aware of all the differences (major or minor) over the years regarding the chassis, exhaust, etc. I...

    I had a Hidden Hitch installed on my 2011 LX+. I have a small covered trailer. The lighting is not working correctly. The brakes, flasher and signal lights work fine, but when I try to turn on my lights at night the rear lights on the car and the trailer running lights do not work. The...

    So some of us here have a need for a hitch, be it for a mountain bike, or to tow a small trailer. Post up what you were able to hook up to the car. All the people that thing its ugly, that an Optima isn't designed to tow and so on... feel free to bounce out of this thread as this is clearly not...

    Here are some pictures of the draw tite hitch (etrailer.com) I installed last weeked. Installation wasn't too hard, however you do need enlarge the rear two holes in the frame to a 7/8" hole. This is best done with a stepped bit. Be sure that once the holes are enlarged that you throw some nail...
