Expert Answers about Kia Soul


  • Towing A 2021 KIA Soul GT Turbo With Dual Clutch Automatic Transmission
  • Flat towing a vehicle with your Kia's automatic transmission will cause severe damage. You can only dolly tow your 2021 KIA Soul GT turbo model with a dual clutch auto transmission. I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800lbs # DM9713045.

  • Curt 2 Bike Rack Ok To Use With A Class I Hitch On A 2021 Kia Soul
  • When a manufacturer states that their bike rack must be used with a class II hitch, then you will need to use a class II hitch.

  • Is Rightline Sport 3 XL Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bag Compatible With a 2011 Kia Soul?
  • The Rightline Sport 3 XL Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30, is compatible with vehicles that have either a roof rack system or factory side rails. It will work just fine on your Soul. It is a good idea, before placing anything heavy on your vehicle roof, to check your owners manual for any weight restrictions or other guidance about transporting cargo, just to make sure you do not exceed the vehicle limits. A great feature of this type of carrier is that unlike roof baskets and cargo boxes,...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2018 Kia Soul
  • I have a solution for you, but the Yakima Little Joe is not designed to fit on your 2018 Kia Soul. Instead, I recommend that you use the Yakima HangOut 3 # Y02638, which is a quality rack at a nice price point that allows you to carry up to 3 bikes. The HangOut has easily adjustable arms, so it's a breeze to get your bikes mounted properly, and the coated hooks and foam pads help ensure that your vehicle isn't damaged during use. If you're going to be carrying bikes with an aggressive...

  • Can Swagman XC Be Used with Curt Hitch and Extension with 2019 Kia Soul
  • Yes all of the parts will work together. The Curt hitch # C11419 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Kia Soul, you can use the hitch extender # HES6 can also be used with this hitch and the XC bike rack # S64650 but you should note that when you use a hitch extender you cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent so you'd be limited to 100 lbs for the bike rack and your bikes. The XC weighs 29 lbs and has a 35 lb per bike capacity. The hitch lock # e99047 can be used with the setup as well.

  • Will Baby Moon Hub Caps Fit My 13" Modular Trailer Wheel
  • Baby moon hub caps are designed to fit a conventional steel wheel that has a raised ring like in the attached photo. Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap part # AM90086 will fit a conventional steel 13" wheel as long as the raised ring on the wheel measures 9-1/4" in diameter. Since your wheels are modular wheels without the raised ring, you cannot use the baby moon caps.

  • Hitch and Wiring to Tow Popup Camper with 2016 Kia Soul
  • Draw-Tite hitch # 24915 is a confirmed fit on your 2016 Kia Soul and the hitch itself can tow trailers up to 2000-lbs. If you want to tow your pop-up you will need a wiring harness like # 118637, a ball mount # 3593 and a hitch ball like 1-7/8-inch # 19256 or 2-inch # 19258. Choose the hitch ball to match the size of the trailer coupler; this ball size should be stamped into the coupler housing. I also recommend towing mirrors such as # KS3990. I suggest you check your Kia owner's manual...

  • Can a 2016 Kia Soul Tow a Trailer
  • The tongue weight (TW) of a travel trailer is typically 10-15% of the gross trailer weight (GTW). However, tow dolly's typically do not reach this mark due to the placement of the vehicle on the dolly. Therefore, I estimate the TW of your motorcycle tow dolly to be around 50-100 lbs. You can use a tongue weight scale like part # e99044 if you need an exact weight. However, according to the owner's manual for you 2016 Kia Soul it is not recommended tow tow a trailer with this vehicle therefore...

  • Will the Yakima HoldUp Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Kia Soul
  • Even if you added the Yakima Replacement Spine Assembly, # Y80126, to your Yakima HoldUp bike rack, # Y02433, you will not be able to use it with a Kia Soul. The reason is because the 2011 Kia Soul can only be equipped with a Class I trailer hitch and the HoldUp for 1-1/4 inch hitches will only fit a Class II trailer hitch. What you will need for the Soul is a different platform bike rack. The most popular option is the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670. This bike rack holds the bikes at the wheels...

  • Recommended 2-3 Bike Rack for 2015 Kia Soul over Hatch with Spoiler
  • As long as there is a gap at the top of your rear spoiler for the mounting strap to pass through and attach to the edge of the rear hatch (rather than the straps passing up and over the spoiler), the Thule Passage 3 bike rack # TH911XT will install on your 2015 Kia Soul without any problems. Some rear top spoilers do not have this gap, so you will want to make sure your Soul does. It's important that the cables be routed under the spoiler, not over. The spoiler is not designed to handle...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver fit 2023 Kia Soul
  • Yes, according to Curt the # C67FR fits your 2023 Kia Soul as long as you don't have the 1.6L Turbo. This hitch features a bolt-on installation, a concealed cross tube, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Since it is a Class I hitch you will need to make sure any accessories you want to use are Class I compatible. If you let me know what you're using the hitch for I would be happy to make a recommendation.
