Trailer Tow Package Recommendation for a 2011 Kia Forte5 Hatchback
Question:
Will this hitch fit the Kia 5 door hatchback
asked by: Candy
Expert Reply:
The correct trailer hitch for the 2011 Kia Forte5 Hatchback is the Curt Class I Hitch, # C11124. I attached a photo showing this hitch on a 2011 Forte hatchback for you to compare to your vehicle. We also have installation instructions for you to review, see link.
The Curt, # C11434, is designed for the sedan model only.
To complete your towing setup you may also need a trailer wiring harness, # C56175, and a trailer hitch ball, # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch trailer coupler and # 19258 for a 2 inch trailer coupler. A drawbar, pin and clip are included with the Curt Hitch, # C11124.
All non-trailer loads like bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth, should be supported with stabilizing straps, # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
