Expert Answers about Kia Soul


  • 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...

  • Comparing The Swagman XC2 Bike Rack To The Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack
  • The Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64650 and Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64670 are very similar, but the XTC2 is basically an updated and upgraded version of the XC2. The main difference is in the wheel hoops; the XTC2 has heavier duty hoops that raise the bikes higher up for more ground clearance. The wheel hoops on the XTC2 also have heavy duty rubber straps to secure the wheels, whereas the XC2...

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring Harness and Utility Trailer for 2013 Kia Soul
  • I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2013 Kia Soul and it states that in order to find out the vehicle's weight capacity you'll need to find the placard on the driver's side door jamb that will tell you what the combined weight of the occupants and cargo can be. The only trailer hitches available for a 2013 Kia Soul are Class I that have a 200 lb tongue weight capacity and 2,000 lb towing capacity such as the Draw-Tite # 24839, which is our most popular option for your vehicle.

  • Will Rhino-Rack Top Channel Mounting Kit # RRRBCA034 Fit Rola Roof Rack Crossbars
  • The kit that did not fit, # RRRBCA035, was designed specifically for Rhino-Rack's heavy duty crossbars which have an over-sized channel. Kit # RRRBCA034 on the other hand is for what is basically the standard channel size. The nuts will fit a channel that is 7/8 inches wide at the bottom (widest) and 7/16 inches wide at the top. The nuts are slightly less than 7/8 inches square.

  • Carrying a Carbon Frame Bike on a 2014 Kia Soul
  • The Thule OutWay platform style trunk mount bike rack # TH65JV is listed as a fit for your 2014 Kia Soul. If you are carrying just one bike with a carbon frame the weight on the vehicle should not be excessive and it will safely carry the bike. With this bike rack it is possible for it to deform a rear bumper if the load is too heavy. Basically if you are carrying 2 regular steel frame bikes it would likely deform the bumper on the vehicle. If you have any doubts about the OutWay I recommend...

  • Troubleshooting Tekonsha T-One Harness Causing Tail Light on 2015 Kia Soul to Go Out
  • The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118431 that you mentioned is only a confirmed fit for the 2015 Kia Soul if it does not feature LED tail lights. I first just recommend making sure you don't have LED lights on your Soul which may cause issues like what you're describing with this particular harness plugged in. If you do have the LEDs then the correct trailer harness is actually the Tekonsha # 118637. If you don't have LED lights I recommend making sure the T-connectors are fully...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Aliner Scout Pop-Up Camper with Electric Brakes
  • The Curt hitch offered for your 2015 Kia Soul is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I type, part # C11419, that has 200-lb tongue weight (TW) and 2000-lb gross trailer weight (GTW) ratings. But, and here's a big but, your 2015 Soul is NOT recommended for use to tow any size trailer. Kia indicates that this lightweight vehicle simply is not designed for towing a trailer. The hitches that are offered for it, again all are light duty Class I types, are made to allow hitch-mount accessory items...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch to Tow Light Trailer with 2017 Kia Soul
  • When determining what type of trailer you can tow with your Kia Soul you will want to focus on its loaded weight. The actual size, whether it's a 4x8 or 5x8, is not as much of a concern. I tried looking up the towing capacity of your 2017 Kia Soul but I wasn't able to track down an official number. Before proceeding I highly recommend checking your copy of the vehicle's owner's manual for its capacity. You can also check with a local Kia dealer and they will be able to provide you with...

  • Can a 2013 Kia Soul Be Used To Tow A 1800lb Boat Trailer?
  • After checking the owner's manual of your 2013 Kia Soul I found that Kia does not recommend towing with your vehicle, and as such I do not recommend towing your boat trailer with your vehicle, and recommend instead using a different vehicle rated for towing. If you decide to tow with your Kia Soul you would need the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24839 which has a 200lb tongue weight rating and 2000lb trailer weight rating. You would also need a 4-way connector # 118637, Drawbar #...

  • Is 2015 Kia Soul with Manual Transmission Flat Towable
  • I did some checking and yes, your 2015 Kia Soul with a manual transmission is flat towable. You'd first need a base plate kit with the Roadmaster # RM-522114-5. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety cables,...

  • How to Route Tow Bar Wiring to Rear of 2019 Kia Soul
  • When installing a wiring kit like the Roadmaster Diode Flexo-Coil # RM-15267 on your 2019 Kia Soul the best way to run the wires to the rear tail lights is to route them under the vehicle between the underbody covers, securing it at various locations with zip ties while being sure to avoid any moving parts or areas that emit a lot of heat.
