Can Hitch for 2020 Kia Soul Transport 300 lb Mobility Scooter

Question:

Can I use the pictured 1 1/4 to 2inch hitch adapter to install the pictured cargo carrier on the back of my 2020 Soul EX? The carrier is 300 lbs. load bearing for my mobility scooter. Thank you.

The problem with hitch adapters is they cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent and for a lighter duty vehicle like what you have you just don't have the tongue capacity for that. Especially since you want to carry 300 lbs in the carrier. You'd have to use the Curt hitch # C67FR that fits your 2020 Kia Soul to tow a smaller trailer.

For wiring you'd then need the part # C89KR.
