Will Installing a Trailer Hitch and Wiring Void the Warranty on a 2010 Kia Forte

Installing a trailer hitch will not void the warranty on your 2010 Kia Forte. There is a federal law that states in part that unless the installed item is directly responsible for a failure then the warranty cannot be voided.

With that said, the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11019, is specifically designed for the Koup model Kia Forte. I have included a link to the installation instructions below. This hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and clip. All you would need for towing is a ball, like # 19258, and 4 Pole Harness, # C59496.

If you have a sedan, you would need a different hitch, like Curt # C11434.

All of the available hitches for the Kia Forte are Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitches. This means they have a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds and a gross trailer weight capacity of 2,000 pounds. Check your owners manual for the towing capacities of your Forte.
