Expert Reply:
According to the owner's manual you will need to use a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045 so the front wheels are lifted off the ground. The only time you should be towing your 2021 Kia Forte with the DCT transmission 4 wheels down is if it's an emergency situation, and in that case you will need to shift to N, yes.
I recommend checking this with what you find in your copy of the owner's manual and/or with your local Kia dealer to make sure you're good to go. If even a tow dolly makes you uneasy then you can always put the Forte on a trailer so you don't have to worry about anything.
Attached is a review video of the Kar Kaddy SS for you to check out.
