The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24903 that fits your 2018 Kia Forte, has a weight capacity rating of 200lbs for the tongue weight and 2,000lbs for trailer towing from Draw-Tite. Per your owners manual, your Forte is not recommended for trailer towing, so if you were to tow a trailer with your Forte you would be liable for any damage that may be caused to your Forte. I would also have to recommend not trailer towing with your Forte unless you can get the okay from Kia with... view full answer...
You can definitely tow your 2021 Kia Forte GT. Unfortunately, it will have to be with a tow dolly. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # BX2728, is only compatible with the 2021 Kia Forte GT that meets the following requirements: the manual transmission, no selective cruise control, and no fog lights.

For a 2012 Kia Forte Hatchback, we have the Curt trailer hitch # C11124. The Curt hitch # C11434 is for sedans only. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the Curt hitch # C11124. It also comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and clip.
For towing, you would need to add a ball. Use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter or # 19258 for a 2 inch diameter. For trailer wiring, use # C56175. I have also included a link to the installation instructions for the wiring. view full answer...
The anti-sway cradle will still work. The rubber strap for the anti sway strap can be attached at any place on the seat post down tube. Using a frame adapter bar won't affect that fit, as you can see in the photo I've provided.
As far as frame adapters go, we really like the # 64005 from Swagman because it's the easiest to use adapter bar we offer. view full answer...
The only hitch receivers available for your 2012 Kia Forte are Class I. I have a few recommendation that will allow you to carry 4 bikes with your Forte but the maximum number of bikes that can be carried on a Class I hitch receiver is two.
In order to haul 4 bikes with your vehicle, you will need to use either a hitch mounted bike rack with roof mounted bike rack or a truck mounted bike rack with roof mounted bike rack.
For a hitch receiver that will work well with your vehicle, I recommend... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55HR does require holes to be drilled in the frame as there is currently only one hole on each side of the frame available for mounting the receiver. Each additional hole on each side of the frame is required to provide the strength to hold the receiver in place while being used. There currently are no hitches available that do not require drilling to install them on your 2021 Kia Forte.
I recommend installing a Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness... view full answer...
I have just the bike rack for you, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack for 2 Recumbent Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HR1000Z-R has a per bike weight capacity of 50lbs and only weighs 36.5lbs itself so it will be well under your class 1 hitch's tongue weight capacity. Because the hanging bike racks we carry all max out in weight capacity at 37.5lbs this is going to be the only option that's going to safely handle the weight of your bikes. It does fold up with a total length coming... view full answer...
Both hitches available for your 2017 Kia Forte, the Draw-Tite # 24903 and Curt # C11368, have tongue weight ratings of 200 lbs. If by manual wheelchair you're talking about a standard wheelchair that is your basic design and can fold up then I don't think that will weigh enough to really make a difference and your Forte should be able to handle that weight just fine.
I recommend going with the Curt # C11368 simply because we have found that they tend to have better welds and a thicker... view full answer...
A manual transmission equipped vehicle can typically be flat towed with the ignition in the ACC position and the manual transmission in Neutral.
I checked the 2020 Kia Forte owner's manual, which makes no mention of recreationally towing the vehicle so I'd recommend checking with your dealer to ensure the vehicle can be towed just for the sake of safety.
If you confirm that it's acceptable to flat tow, and the vehicle is NOT equipped with fog lights or the Smart Cruise Control feature,... view full answer...

For a trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite # DT83MR is confirmed to fit on the 2020 Kia Forte as long as it is not the GT model and will provide you with a 1-1/4" receiver. For wiring, I recommend using the # C59496 because it has a powered converter box that will help protect your vehicle from back feed in the event that there is a short on the trailer.
To complete your towing package, you'll also need a ball mount, hitch ball, hitch pin and clip; the Reese Trailer Hitch Starter Ball Mount Kit... view full answer...
I would be happy to help you and make a recommendation. You are extremely limited on options for your 2019 Kia Forte as there is only one hitch available. It is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT83MR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Kia with included hardware. It has a 1-1/4" receiver like the item # 24903 you were looking at. This hitch will be mostly concealed behind your Kia's rear trim with the exception of the receiver and safety chains that... view full answer...

Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55HR has been confirmed to fit all trim levels(except GT) of the new 2022 Kia Forte, including your GT-Line trim. The new GT has a new dual exhaust that will not allow it to fit properly.
Since the Curt receiver has a class I rating you will need to ensure that your bike rack is safe to use with a class I receiver like the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV12G. view full answer...
The Yakima HangOut 3 # Y02638 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Kia Forte Sedan. The hooks have a vinyl paint and the cam buckles are in a rubber housing to help protect your Forte's finish.
Per Yakima, the side straps are to be installed below your tail lights so you should not be worried about the hooks rubbing against your lights. view full answer...
On average, the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack Item # HLY94FR has anywhere between 3.5" to 4.5" of clearance from the hatch/rear bumper of most vehicles. This all depends on how exposed your hitch receiver is from the rear of your 2011 Kia Forte. A measurement from the trunk to the end of your bumper can give a better idea of how much total distance there will be to the closest point of the rack.
I have added a couple of review videos below showing the use of the rack on various... view full answer...
The 2017 Kia Forte was the second to last model year of the 2nd generation Forte, while the 2020 is the second model year of the 3rd gen. There were enough changes in the structure of the vehicle from the 2nd to the 3rd gen that unfortunately your Curt # C11368 from your 2017 Forte will not work on your 2020 model.
For the 2020 Forte sedan, I'd recommend the Curt # C55HR Class I hitch you'd looked at. As you can see in the photo I provided, once installed the # C55HR will be much more... view full answer...
I have a solution for you but the item # C11368 hitch you were looking at will not fit the hatchback model of your 2017 Kia Forte. Instead you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11395. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Kia with included hardware. It has the same capacity as the hitch you were looking at.
