• Does Bike With Step Through Frame Need Bike Rack Adapter on Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack

• Trailer Hitch and Carrier for 2018 Kia Soul
• It looks like you've chosen the Draw-Tite hitch, part # 24915, which does fit your 2018 Kia Soul. I've listed the cargo carriers we have for Class I hitches like the Draw-Tite and none of them have a ramp. Class I hitches aren't really designed to hold a lot of weight so there aren't many cargo carriers at all. Another thing to take into consideration is the weight capacity of the Soul. I wasn't able to find its tongue weight or towing capacity online but it should in your owner's manual....

• Wiring Harness to Work with LED Lights on 2013 Kia Soul and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer
• The wiring harness option for LED bulbs is for the vehicle not the trailer. So you will choosing a harness whether the 2013 Kia Soul has LED lights or not. At least in theory, because if you pay even closer attention to the harnesses available you'll notice that they are the same for LED or non-LED. For example, the Tekonsha # 118637 is confirmed to work with or without LED lights. For the trailer hitch receiver I suggest the Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24839. It's a Class I hitch receiver...

• Recommended Solution to Carry Cargo Carrier with 2 Inch Shank on Curt Hitch with 1-1/4 Inch Receiver
• I'll start out by saying that I don't believe that an adapter is the best way to go here. Since the Curt # C67FR is a Class I receiver, you'd need an adapter that is compatible with a Class I hitch. The drawback here is that using an adapter like this will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle by 50%. It looks like the 2021 Kia Soul has a tongue weight capacity of 200-lbs, so the maximum amount you'd be able to carry would be 100-lbs (including the weight of the carrier) if you...

• Can a 2014 Kia Soul With Manual Transmission be Flat Towed Behind an RV?
• Yes, you can flat tow your 2014 Kia Soul with manual transmission behind your Rv; there are a number of parts you're going to need in order to do this, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-522114-4. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates as well as its long arms, which make it easier to maneuver when towing; you will also need safety...

• Recommended Trunk Rack for 2019 Kia Soul
• I have a solution for you, but there are no 4 bike trunk racks on the market, mostly because they're just not able to hold the additional weight safely. With that said, you can use something like the Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633 which will carry 3 bikes weighing up to 90-lbs total. I really like the FullBack as an option because it comes with a cable lock for your bikes and a lock to keep the rack secured to your vehicle, plus the price point is a bit better than the other available choices....

• Hitch Extension for 1-1/4 Inch Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on 2011 Kia Soul
• By square stock I believe you are referring to a hitch extender. There is an extension for the Draw-Tite # 24839 hitch that fits your 2011 Kia Soul, but it is not 24 inches. The longest we carry for a 1-1/4 inch hitch is the 10 inch Brophy Hitch Extender # HES0. Please keep in mind that extenders such as this one will reduce your hitch capacity by half, so using one will reduce the Draw-Tite's tongue weight capacity to 100 lbs. I've added links to video reviews of both the hitch and extender...
