  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Kia Forte
  • To add a hitch to your 2024 Kia Forte, I recommend the Curt item # C55HR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the Curt Hitch item # C55HR because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 1-1/4" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but it helps with ground clearance which is important with a...

  • Can 2022 Kia Forte Tow Over 2,000 lbs With Class I Trailer Hitch
  • 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...

  • The Boone 94999 Telescoping FlagPole is no longer available, but it's replacement is the Camco # CAM51606 telescoping 16 foot flagpole kit. It includes a flag that is 3" by 5" and will hold another of the same size. That said, you could attach a flag up to 6 feet tall on the included connections.

  • Can I Tow a Trailer with my 2017 Kia Forte EX
  • 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...
