Question:
On my forte ex sedan there is a big chrome exhaust tip from the factory. Will this hitch still fit?

Expert Reply:
A factory exhaust tip is taken into account when a hitch receiver is designed. So the Curt # C11368 will fit your 2016 Kia Forte EX Sedan as long as the exhaust is from the factory. You should know that using the Curt Class I hitch receiver will require the use of a support strap # 18050 for any non-trailer loads like a bike rack.
You can use the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24903 instead which doesn't require the strap.
If you're going to be towing with your Kia you can use # 3593 for a ball mount that provides either a 2-1/8 inch rise or 2-3/4 inch drop. It also includes a pin and clip. Then use # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
Then for a trailer wiring harness you can use the Curt # C53KR.
