Expert Reply:

When it comes to flat towing your 2021 Kia Forte GT with a manual transmission can be flat towed. Below is a list of flat towing items that you will need.

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2728
Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - RV Mount - 8K # RM-677
Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152
RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector - Vehicle End # RM-910030-7
Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39524
Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75
Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars - 2 inch Hitches - 2-1/4 inch Rise/Drop # RM-077-2

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2728 is a custom-fit baseplate for your 2021 Kia Forte GT if it doesn't have SCC or Fog Lights. The baseplate has a durable steel construction which is powder coated to help resist rust and corrosion.

The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-677 has a non-binding design that allows you to release your vehicle at any time, anywhere - even on unlevel ground. The Nighthawk comes with the most of the wiring needed to get your vehicle's taillights to mirror your RV's taillights. The additional Roadmaster Wiring # RM-152 is needed to finish the wiring installation. The RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer connector # RM-910030-7 will attach to the front of your Kia Forte so you can plug in the wiring to the front of the vehicle.

The Brake Buddy Select 3 # HM39524 is a supplemental braking system that applies the towed vehicle's brakes in proportion to braking action of the RV. It has a wireless remote control that mounts in the cab of the RV. It has an easy-pull harness that provides power and the breakaway connection.

The RoadMaster Battery Charge Line Kit For Motorhome # RM-156-7 and The RoadMaster Battery Charge Line Kit For Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 will keep your vehicle's battery charged during travel so you don't end up with a dead battery when you get to where you're staying.

The RoadMaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2 will give you a 2 inch rise/drop and will give you the option to add a bike carrier or cargo carrier when using this adapter.
