Can 2022 Kia Niro PHEV be Towed with Tow Dolly

Question

Question:

Do you know if you can tow a 2021 or 2022 Kia Niro PHEV, behind a motorhome, with a tow dolly? We are looking to replace our 2003 Pontiac Vibe. If so, what tow dolly would you recommend?

I pulled up the owners manual of the 2022 Kia Niro and found that it can be towed with a tow dolly behind a motorhome. For a tow dolly I really like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS part # DM9713045 as it has a steering axle, a self contained braking system, and because it can fold up when not in use to make storing easier.

A factory 7-way trailer connector isn't all you need to power a trailer's electric brakes. You still need a brake controller. Some Ford F-150s are equipped with a factory integrated brake controller, which you may have. If your 2012 Ford…
