Since all models of the 2016 Kia Forte came with a naked roof you'd first need to install a roof rack on your 2016 Kia Forte. For that I'd recommend the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK401 because this rack will give you aero shaped bars which will be quieter, the rack is easy to install, and because with this rack you get a higher quality rack at a much better price than the competition.
Once installed you'd be able to use the Swagman roof kayak carrier... view full answer...
The Darby Turbo-Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack # DTA968 that you referenced is a single crossbar. If you needed two of these you'd have to order a quantity of two of them. view full answer...
If you are planning on using a cargo carrier on your 2018 Kia Forte with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24903, you will have 200 pounds of vertical weight capacity (tongue weight) available for the cargo carrier and cargo. The tongue weight applies to anything that forces weight on the hitch directly down on the hitch (toward the ground). As far as weight capacity, 200 pounds of tongue weight is the highest tongue weight we have available... view full answer...
The Darby Turbo-Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack, # DTA968, is a universal fit item so there is a high degree of probability that it will fit your Kia Forte The Length ranges from 45 inches to 60 inches which for crossbars is a wide range. For a complete rack, you would need 2 of these.
There is no specific weight capacity of the steel bars because they can carry more weight than most vehicle roofs. You will need to consult the vehicle owners manual to determine what the weight carrying... view full answer...
The Rightline Gear Foam Block Rooftop Kayak Carrier # RL100K10 will fit a wide range of vehicles, both those with naked roofs and those with factory or aftermarket roof crossbars. Its fit to your 2012 Kia Forte and its clearance for the antenna will be a function of the specific vehicle model you have (Koup, Koup SX, EX, SX or LX) but also of the type and size of your kayak.
You will want to refer to your vehicle owners manual to confirm the weight capacity for the vehicle roof to ensure... view full answer...
When it comes to tire chains you always want to reference your owner's manual for any specifications. It looks like the online owner's manual for your 2017 Kia Forte calls for Class S chains so you'll want to stick to that to avoid damage to brake lines or whatever it is that's causing the low clearance on the back side of your 205/55R16 tires.
For your application I recommend going with the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains # TH01221090 which are Class S compatible and give you a good,... 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...
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 Curt item # C55HR has a 200lb tongue weight rating and a 2000lb trailer weight rating making it a great option for carrying a bike rack, cargo carrier, or even light duty towing.

Using some grease when installing the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11812 can help prevent corrosion and help to transfer heat, so it's highly recommended but it isn't a requirement. Personally, I recommend using a bit of # 11755 to help keep out moisture that could end up causing corrosion and making removal of the cartridge a nightmare later on. view full answer...
A factory exhaust tip is taken into account when a hitch receiver is designed. So the Curt # C11368 will fit your 2016 Kia Forte EX Sedan as long as the exhaust is from the factory. You should know that using the Curt Class I hitch receiver will require the use of a support strap # 18050 for any non-trailer loads like a bike rack.
You can use the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24903 instead which doesn't require the strap.
If you're going to be towing with your Kia you can use # 3593 for a ball... view full answer...
If you are planning on towing 300 - 500 lbs then we do have the equipment for your 2017 Kia Forte but please note that in the online version of the owner's manual (page 5-91) it states that Kia does not recommend using your vehicle for trailer towing. So the decision to tow will be entirely up to you and you need to check all of the weight ratings but it might be worth looking into a different vehicle if you plan on towing often.
With that being said, I recommend using the Curt Trailer... 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...
To haul your Golden Avenger mobility scooter behind your 2017 Kia Forte you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11368. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware.

Yes, you will need to stick with Yakima when installing the Yakima 42" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01126.
You will also need the TrackTowers for Yakima Crossbars and Platforms # Y52AV. 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...
For a tow dolly we have the part # RM-2050-1 from Roadmaster. This will work well with your 2017 Kia Forte but you would still want to check your owners manual for restrictions on tow dolly usage.
You'll need a brake controller to activate the dolly's brakes.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that... view full answer...
