Tow Dolly Recommendation for 2017 Kia Forte
Question:
I just purchased a 2017 Kia Forte and need a tow dolly so I can tow on back of a motorhome. I need to know what type I would need and the ball hitch size for motorhome. And anything else I might need to use like the brakes to show when I use them on motorhome. I know nothing about this. Prices would be good too as I am ready to get what I need. Want to be gone within a month - no later than October 31. Thankyou for your help.

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 senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
The size ball you'd need with the dolly is a 2 inch ball like # A-90.
