Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Kia Forte S
Question:
Hello - Just want to make sure that this will fit on the 2017 Forte S?

Expert Reply:
Curt, the manufacturer of trailer hitch # C11368 lists it as a fit for all models of the 2017 Kia Forte so that does include the S model.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks and cargo carriers for you.
