Hey. I have an first edition coming soon to Toronto, Canada and I presently own a Kia Sportage which I love. I have taken full advantage of the trailer hitch and roof rack on my Sportage. Functionality matters to me for my EV6, I need a hitch to mount my Thule bike rack may be a deal breaker. I know there will be a universal roof rack that will fit the ev6. I looked at the European hitch and it doesn't have a 1.25" or 2.0" receiver ( it has the ball thing) does anyone know if Kia in North America will have a receiver hitch?
Also as anyone looked at the European hitch install instructions and how they have to cut off and throw out a part of the plastic trim under the car?!?! (OCD kicking in)? Can anyone shed some light on this stuff and will cutting off the trim allow more road dirt and debris sand blast in and under the car more?
Thanks for tolerating my OCD,
Spyder
