Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2016 Kia Forte 5 Hatchback
Question:
2016 Kia Forte 5 Hatchback trailer hitch. I see one for a sedan is that the same hitch for the hatchback?

Expert Reply:
For a 2016 Kia Forte 5 Hatchback, you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11395 which is a confirmed fit.
If you plan on doing some light towing with that hitch, I recommend the ball mount # C45521 along with pin and clip # F-4 and a hitch ball like # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.
For your wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56228. This harness connects to your factory harness behind your tail lights.
If you will be using a bike rack or other accessory, you will also need stability strap # 18050.
