The Hidden Hitch part # 60335 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Kia Forte. When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking it up online.
Normally we recommend that you always follow any and all towing restrictions for a vehicle that are found in the owners manual.
If you decide to tow you would want the wiring harness part # 118594, and then hitch balls # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball and part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. I would imagine your trailer would take a 1-7/8 inch ball.
