Expert Answers about Kia Soul


  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2020 Kia Soul LX
  • The 2020 Kia Soul LX is not offered with LED rear tail lights so you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118813 which is a direct plug-n-play option with no cutting or splicing required. It will provide you with all the functions needed for most smaller trailers.

  • Compatibility of Swagman Rooftop Bike Rack # S64720 with Rola Roof Rack on 2011 KIA Soul
  • According to my Swagman rep, their # S64720 will work great with a BMX bike with tires up to 3 inches wide. The U-bolts used by the Swagman Rooftop Bike Carrier are a bit more than 3-1/8 inches wide, and the Rola Crossbars used on the 59842 are exactly 3-1/8 inches wide. The rack should work just fine with the Rola Cross bars. To see installation instructions as well as a product demonstration video featuring the Swagman rack, click the provided links.

  • Will The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2023 Kia Soul GT Line With Center Exit Exhaust?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67FR is only designed to fit models with the exhaust exiting on the right hand side of the vehicle. With the exhaust exiting from the center it would require extensive modification to the exhaust for a receiver to fit on your 2023 Kia Soul GT Line. If you are looking for a way to carry bikes or additional cargo you might consider a roof rack like the Thule WingBar Evo. This will require the Crossbars # TH711420, Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit # TH145212....

  • What Class Hitch is the EcoHitch 306-X7326 for a 2017 Kia Soul?
  • The EcoHitch item # 306-X7326 is a closer to a class II hitch than a class III. For some reason EcoHitch doesn't use the class standard. It has the function of a class III but the capacity of a class II. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 2017 Kia Soul. It has a 2" hitch receiver opening which is a very common hitch size so you will have no issue finding hitch-mounted accessories. The maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs and tongue weight capacity is 300lbs so make sure you are not exceeding...

  • Will a Hitch for a 2011 Kia Soul Also Fit on a 2018 Kia Soul
  • From what I was able to determine from my research, there are 3 generations of the Kia Soul; one that was manufactured from 2008-2014, another started late in 2013 and went until 2019 and the current generation that began manufacture in 2019. Normally hitches for a vehicle are compatible only within their generation, so a hitch that was manufactured to fit the 2011 Kia Soul like the Draw-Tite # 24839 will not fit on a 2018 Kia Soul. Instead, you'll want to use something similar to the...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Kia Soul
  • Yes, the Thule OutWay 3 trunk mount bike rack, # TH56BV, will fit your 2012 Kia Soul provided that it does not have a factory spoiler. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have liked a video showing how the adapter works.

  • Does the Kuat 2 Beta Bike Rack Fit on a Kia Soul?
  • I would be happy to help you. The Kuat 2 Beta Bike Rack item # B202-114 fits a 1-1/4" class I or II receiver. The distance from the the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar is 7-1/2". This is the measurement that determines whether or not the bike rack will hit the back of your bumper. I have linked a review video below for this bike rack so you can see its functions. I took a look at both of the hitches we have available for a 2011 Kia Soul. Both the Draw-Tite...

  • Can 2017 Kia Soul Haul Electric Lift and Wheelchair Using EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The answer to your question will depend on the weight of your lift and wheelchair. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7326 has a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs. As long as the weight of the wheelchair and lift do not exceed the tongue weight of the hitch or your vehicle then you will not have a problem. You will need to check your owner's manual to find the tongue weight capacity of your 2017 Kia Soul. If you find that it is over the capacity but close,...

  • Can a 3-Wheeled Scooter be Carried on the Back of a 2016 Kia Soul
  • In all likelihood, no, trailer hitch # 24915 for the 2016 Kia Soul will not support a 3-wheeled scooter. The hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. The combined weight of the scooter and the carrier it is on would have to be less than 200 pounds. The lightest Class I compatible cargo carrier we have that would also work best for a scooter is # C18110 at 30 pounds. That means as long as the scooter weighs less than 170 pounds you would be within the 200 pound capacity. Otherwise...

  • Recommended Wireless Supplemental Braking System For A 2013 Kia Soul
  • I have the perfect supplemental braking system that will not require extensive wiring for installation on your 2013 Kia Soul. For this, I recommend using the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR as this option will provide you with both ease of use and ease of installation in addition be being portable. The Blue Ox Patriot is a proportional braking system that operates off of a wireless radio frequency. The system only weighs about 15 lbs. which will assist with frequent removal. I also recommend...

  • Can the Swagman Current be Used with a Class 1 Hitch Receiver?
  • When considering to put the Swagman Current # S64678 on a class 1 1-1/4 inch hitch, it truly depends on the maximum tongue weight of your hitch. Usually, class 1 hitches have a maximum tongue weight capacity of around 200 pounds. However, I strongly recommend that you consult the instructional manual of your hitch or provide me with the make/model of hitch that you have to confirm the tongue weight capacity. Also, I confirmed with my contact at Swagman that even if the bike/rack weighed...

  • Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for 2016 Kia Soul
  • The Tow Ready # 118637 is the correct trailer wiring harness for all models of the 2016 Kia Soul. There are some vehicles that have various sub models, some of which will use LED lamps, some of which do not.

No worries, you have the correct wiring harness for your vehicle. You can view an install video by clicking the provided link.

  • Can Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening And Tow Bar Cover Be Used Together
  • Assuming your motorhome is parked and the tow bar is unhooked from the vehicle and folded, you will be able to use both the part # RM-4700 and part # RM-055-3 at the same time. The # RM-4700 attaches to the shank of your trailer hitch so the Ready Brake will not interfere with it. When parked you simply roll the screen up until it can be secured behind the motorhome.

  • Will Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier fit on a 2014 Kia Soul to carry 2 Kayaks
  • According to the manufacturer, the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073 will fit your 2014 Kia Soul with factory roof rack. I recommend getting a second set of Yakima Cinch Straps # Y05006 since the Yakima Carrier only comes with one set. This will enable you to secure a second kayak to the roof of your Kia. Something else that would help protect your Kia and make securing the kayaks easier would be the the etrailer Kayak Tie-Down kit # e36ZR. These come with 2 Foam anchors fit under hood...

  • Best Cargo Basket for Rola Roof Rack on 2011 Kia Soul
  • We do have cargo carriers that fit the Rola Roof Rack 59842 but the Curt Cargo basket does not fit. The Curt cargo basket only fits bars up to 3 inches wide and the Aero bars of the Rola rack are 3 1/8 inches wide. Please keep in mind the Rola roof rack part # 59842 fits a 2011 Kia Soul with a naked roof. The best cargo basket option for the Rola Roof Rack is Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 62" Long x 39" Wide Item # Y07070-74 because it fits the Aero Bars of the...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C67FR Fit A 2021 Kia Soul?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67FR you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2021 Kia Soul as long as it does not have the 1.6L Turbo engine. If you have the 1.6L Turbo engine there is currently not a trailer hitch receiver option available. The # C67FR has a 200lb tongue weight rating and a 2000lb trailer weight rating, so as long as the trailer carrying your handicap scooter does not exceed these ratings it will work just fine. To tow your trailer you will need a vehicle wiring...

  • What Is The Stabilizing Strap That Is Needed For A Curt Class I Hitch On A 2010 Kia Soul
  • The Curt Bike Rack Strap, # 18050, will attach to the bike rack and the other end to the vehicles trunk lip or window. It gives added support and stability to the bike rack and keeps the movement of the bike rack to a minimum, which puts less stress on the hitch. The manufacturer (Curt) requires the use of the stabilizing strap on all of their Class I hitches. Because the Class I hitches have a lower tongue weight capacity they do not want any added strain to be put on that hitch. I...
