Dolly Towing a 2018 Kia Forte and 2015 Fiat 500L Automatic

Question:

I own a 2018 kia forte LX automatic- Can I flat tow this vehicle? And if not, can I flat tow a 2015 Fiat 500L automatic-if so what would I need to make it work? Thank you

Kia recommends to not flat tow any of their models after 2015 because the electronic steering can cause a "death wobble". Instead of flat towing you can dolly tow your vehicles with the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame - 4,800 lbs - Wide Tread # DM9713093

This tow dolly will work for both your Kia and Fiat so you could take whichever one you wanted to with you instead of only being forced to choose only one option.

The main components of the Kar Kaddy X come pre-assembled for fast setup. Use the included instructions and hardware to attach the main frame to the tongue assembly, then install the ramps, fenders, mud flaps, and wheels. Finally, connect the pre-routed wiring.

One note before use is prior to towing, bleed the hydraulic system to remove any air from the brake fluid reservoir. Brake fluid is not included.
