Kia Forte
This hitch receiver was as easy as could be to install. You just have to drop a couple of things a few inches and bolt it in. Then you raise everything back up and your done. One thing to keep in mind is that my Forte was brand new and the holes for the bolts were clean. If you have an older Forte you may want to clean them thoroughly first.

- Troubleshooting Installation Of Trailer Hitch Receiver Into Weldnuts On 2013 Kia Forte HatchbackTo install your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11124 which is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Kia Forte Hatchback, the bolts sometimes are hindered by debris in the frame welded nuts. The weldnuts most likely need cleaning, so I recommend using some spray lubricant like UltraLube Biobased Spray Lubricant and Penetrant - 12-oz Aerosol with Straw to loosen up any debris and then use a nylon brush like # 814113 to remove debris without damaging the threads. ...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2011 Kia ForteCurt trailer hitch # C11124 for the 2011 Kia Forte Hatchback has a capacity of 2,000 pounds but you will need to determine the towing capacity of the vehicle by checking in the owners manual. If the combined weight of the trailer and trike when loaded and ready to tow exceeds 2,000 pounds or the capacity of the vehicle, whichever is lower, you will not be able to tow the bike and trailer with this vehicle. If you determine that you can, you will also need a properly sized ball (the hitch...
view full answer... - Hitch And Bike Carrier Recommendation For 2011 Kia Forte5The hitch you asked about, part # C11124 is a Class l hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, so you will want to keep that in mind when selecting accessories that will work with the hitch. A note from Curt states that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps, like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. A lightweight bike rack I recommend is the Kuat Beta, part...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between Class I and Class II Trailer HitchesClass I and Class II trailer hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver. That is where the similarities end though. Class I hitches are rated for less weight, typically maxing out at 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight. Class II hitches on the other hand can be rated as high as 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. Most Class I hitches also have a stop punched into the receiver tube, see picture, that prevents the use of Class II accessories....

- Correct 2012 Kia Forte Hatchback Trailer HitchThanks for reaching out, Candice! The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11434 is for a 2012 Kia Forte Sedan, but for your Hatchback you'll need to use the part # C11124 instead. If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be happy to make additional recommendations if needed!
view full answer... - Is There A Way To Know If 1-1/4" Receiver Is A Class 1 or Class 2?The only way to know 100% for sure that your trailer hitch receiver is a Class 2 is to find the model number of the hitch and look it up. Your receiver being a 1-1/4" means it's either a class 1 or class 2, but between the two the main differences are the ratings of the hitch when it comes to trailer weight and tongue weight capacity. If you can tell me the year/make/model of your vehicle I can look it up as well to see if there were options for a class 1 or class 2 to try and help narrow...
