Question:

I want to haul my Golden Avenger mobility scooter with my 2017 Kia Forte

asked by: Terrance R

Expert Reply:

To haul your Golden Avenger mobility scooter behind your 2017 Kia Forte you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11368. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Kia with included hardware.

This is a class I hitch that is made in the USA and weighs 26 lbs. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 200 lbs tongue weight. This is the highest capacity hitch available for your Forte.

I have attached a picture and linked an installation video to show you what this hitch looks like once installed.

It looks like your Golden Avenger mobility scooter weighs 268 lbs. To transport it with your Kia you will need a small trailer so you will also want to add a wiring harness item # 118594, the Draw-Tite Drawbar item # 3593 and then for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or item # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
