Yes, we do ship to Canada.

To determine rates, add the products you are interested in to a shopping cart. Then, click on the calculate shipping link, where you would input your postal code. The available shipping methods and rates would then pop up for you.

You can also give one of our Customer Service professionals a call at 800-298-8924. They would be happy to assist in determining the best options for you.

You will want to check your owners manual regarding towing with your 2011 Kia Forte Koup. If it says you cannot tow with the Kia, then it would void your warranty if you decided to use it for towing.

If you are able to tow with your vehicle it will list the weight capacities you are able to tow and if there are any other limitations.

I have the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch, part # 11019, that fits your Kia Forte Koup. It has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. If the weight capacities for your vehicle are rated lower, than you would have to abide by the lower capacities.

This hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and clip. All you would need for towing is a ball, like 2-Inch Hitch Ball, part # 19258, or 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball, part # 19256.

The hitch can also be used for attaching a hitch accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier.

I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Curt hitch.
