Question:
Will the Curt Tow bar fit on a 2012 Kia Forte, do I need any other items to hook up and haul the vehicle behind an RV? Is there any modifications I need to make to make the kit fit on the car in question?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs # C19745 is a universal fit for 26-41 inches spread but the recommended spacing is 33 inches. This attaches only to a flat metal bumper, so I don't recommend it for your vehicle.
According to your owners manual, this vehicle must be towed on a tow dolly. I recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. This will give you the wheel nets and everything you need to connect with your trailer hitch ball. I've attached a video to assist.
