Expert Answers about Kia Soul


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver And Wiring Harness For a 2022 Kia Soul
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67FR for your 2022 Kia Soul. If you will be towing a trailer I recommend the Drawbar # 3592 which you will need to attach either a 2" Hitch Ball # 19258 or 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C89KR will connect to the 4-way flat connector on most trailers. It will also allow for you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 in the event your hitch mounted accessory blocks the view of your tail lights on your Soul.

  • Does Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack Fit 2020 Kia Soul
  • Sorry for any confusion but we have verified that the Malone Hanger Trunk Rack part # MPG2139 does fit your 2020 Kia Soul. This matches with what they told you as well so it does for sure fit. I believe I found the older info you mentioned that said there were no fits for your vehicle and sent an update to have it addressed.

  • Is There a 2 Hitch for E-Bike Rack for 2023 Kia Soul
  • The only trailer hitch options for a 2023 Kia Soul are class I, 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C67FR which is what I recommend using. That said, you can use an adapter to expand the 1-1/4" to 2" like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR or part # e93YR. Please note, the use of these adapters will cut your hitch/vehicle capacity in half.

  • Wiring, Base Plate And Accessories Needed To Flat Tow a 2014 Kia Soul
  • I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 to go with your Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2726 on the front of your 2014 Kia Soul. This wiring kit contains everything needed from the coiled cable to the 6-way connector that is mounted on the front of the baseplate and the wiring and diodes needed for connecting to the tail lights on your Soul. The 6-way connector also allows you to use a Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25. This will help to ensure...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Kia Soul
  • The best option for a trunk bike rack for your 2016 Kia Soul is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. This is a lightweight bike rack that instead of using 6 nylon straps uses 2 rubber-coated straps which are much more secure and easier to deal with. This rack will be the easiest to install option we have and would work well. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01...

  • Which Versions of Kia Souls Can be Towed with Tow Bar and/or Tow Dolly
  • Looks like the first generation of Kia Souls (2008-2014) can be flat towed with all four wheels on the ground if the vehicle has a manual transmission as well as the second generation (2013 through 2019). The automatic transmission versions can be towed on a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy part # DM9713045 which is a really great option regardless. You end up not putting miles on the vehicle, the install time is greatly reduced, and if you ever wanted to use the dolly on a future vehicle...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for Kia Soul and How to Make Adapter to Tow Trailer w Separate Wiring
  • Basically, you will have to make an adapter. You will need 3 important parts. First you will need a vehicle to vehicle converter # 118158. Next, a trailer side 4-Way, # 18004. And finally a vehicle side 5-Way, # HM37908. It will be assembled like in the picture I have provided using butt connectors like # 05731-5.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2017 Kia Soul with Fixed Points
  • The Rola Extreme FPE Roof Rack part # R6006 that you referenced would be a great choice for carrying kayak carriers on your 2017 Kia Soul.

This will be a great base plate kit option which can be paired with the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380.

  • How to Route the Power Wire of Trailer Wiring to Battery of 2022 Kia Soul
  • If you fast forward to the 8:14 mark of the install video I attached you'll see how we routed the power wire of the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C89KR to the front of the vehicle. Conner does a really good job showing how to access all of the areas needed to get it to the battery. He mentions using a pull wire at one point which if you needed one of those we have the part # 80101-1.

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for a 2015 Kia Soul for Flat Towing
  • For your 2015 Kia Soul the Blue Ox Base Plate kit part # BX2726 would be the correct base plate kit to use. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the two vehicle is braking....

  • Hitch and Trailer Lights Wiring Harness for 2020 Kia Soul
  • We have two hitch options for your 2020 Kia Soul. You can use the Curt # C67FR or the Draw-Tite # DT25GR hitches. They both have a no-drill installation with a 5/10 difficulty but the Draw-Tite requires fascia trimming. I like the Curt's glossier finish. With all that, I would choose the Draw-Tite # DT25GR, hands-down, because is has a 300 pound tongue weight vs the 200 of the Curt, It is a class III hitch vs the class I of the Curt and most importantly, it has a 2" hitch opening vs the...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness and Towing Equipment for 2022 Kia Soul LX
  • The Curt # C89KR does carry over for all models of the 2022 model Kia Soul. If you don't already have a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt # C67FR Class I hitch, which fits all Soul models except for those equipped with the 1.6L turbo engine. For a ball mount, use # C45521 along with the # PC2 hitch pin. For a trailer ball, use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.
