While there are some tolerances in trailer hitches, like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55HR for your 2022 Kia Forte, it's never a good idea to exceed the weight rating as that's the most the manufacturer is comfortable saying the hitch is capable of dealing with.
Aside from that, when I checked the online owner's manual for your Forte it looks like your vehicle is rated for much less than 2,000 lbs. So while the hitch might be able to keep up with 2,100 lbs for a bit, your vehicle... view full answer...

We do have the equipment to tow with your 2017 Kia Forte, which is primarily due to consumer demand rather than hard to find towing information. You are also correct that per the owner's manual (page 5-91) it states that Kia does not recommend using your vehicle for trailer towing. I can't recommend towing with this vehicle since the manufacturer says not to and we can't provide a towing vehicle weight capacity. I can provide the weight capacity of the # C11368 which is 200 pounds maximum... view full answer...
