  • Some of Bolt & Hole Was Stripped Installing Curt Hitch C11419
  • It really depends on how much of the bolt hole and bolt were stripped during the install of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11419, but to be on the safe side, you will likely want to use another M10 x 1.25 bolt. And if the weldnut was stripped at all, I highly recommend using a tap, the 10 mm x 1.5 Tap # PTW8619. We just want to make sure you can safely install the hitch, and the bolts will catch, allowing you the proper torque.

  • 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.

  • Recommended Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2014 Kia Soul Carrying a 70 lbs Fat Tire E-Bike
  • To add a hitch to your 2014 Kia Soul you will need the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7326. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Soul with included hardware. This is the only hitch with a high enough capacity to handle a 70 lbs e-bike. It has a 2" receiver which will give you the most options and highest capacity for bike racks. For a bike rack rated to transport a 70 lbs e-bike, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack item # HLY84FR. This frame mount...

  • What is the Tow Weight Capacity of the EcoHitch for a 2019 Kia Soul
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7326 is rated for 300 lbs tongue weight and 2,000 lbs towing weight like what our customer service rep would have told you. It looks like the online owner's manual for your 2018 Kia Soul say not to tow with this vehicle though so the tow weight reduction shouldn't be affecting how you use the trailer hitch. If you're in the market for a bike rack then I recommend taking a look at the RockyMounts WestSlope item # RKY10222 because it...

  • What is Towing Capacity of 2021 Kia Soul
  • I can assure you that the 2021 Kia Soul does not have an 8,900 lb towing capacity. I pulled up the owners manual of your vehicle and Kia actually does not recommend towing trailers with it. The capacity the vehicle can carry on the interior is actually on 860 lbs. Not all internet sources are reliable unfortunately so I am not sure why that site and a few others are saying the vehicle can tow such a ridiculous amount. To put that in perspective newer 1/2 trucks like F-150's just recently...

  • What Roof Rack Do You Recommend for a Panoramic Sunroof on a 2016 Kia Soul?
  • The best roof rack for your 2016 Kia Soul with a panoramic sunroof is a Thule roof rack because it gives your Soul a rack that is highly functional with a refined look. This rack uses the fixed mounting points on your flush factory rails which is why it is going to be compatible with your panoramic sunroof. Here is a rack setup that will work great with your 2016 Kia Soul panoramic sunroof: - Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 53" Long # TH711420 (Black) or # TH711400 (Silver) -...

  • Could Roadmaster High Low Adapter # RM-076 Be Used with Scooter Carrier
  • As long as the weight of your carrier and chair is less than 200 lbs the Roadmaster Drop Adapter part # RM-076 will work well for you as it gives you the drop you need. It also cuts the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent but since it's a truck that shouldn't be a problem.

  • Can 2011 Kia Soul with Draw-Tite Class I Hitch # 24839 Tow a 5 x 8-Foot Trailer
  • The Draw-Tite hitch you referenced, part # 24839, is indeed a correct fit for your 2011 Kia Soul. This light-duty Class I hitch has a 1-1/4-inch receiver opening. I have linked an installation video for this hitch on your same model year Soul. For some vehicles hitches are available to enable use of accessory items such as bike racks and cargo baskets, but the availability of a hitch for any given vehicle does not necessarily mean that vehicle is suitable for towing a trailer. According...

  • Clearance Measurement From Roof For Kayak Carrier On 2014 Kia Soul
  • I pulled one of the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier, part # S510 from our warehouse and took a measurement for you. I have attached a photo that shows the measurement of the knob and the bottom plate that goes under the crossbars on your 2014 Kia Soul. As noted on the photo, the combined measurement is 1-3/8 inches. If you have more than 1-3/8 inches from the bottom of your crossbar to the roof then these will work well for you.

  • Bolt Size Used For Installing Trailer Hitch On 2013 Kia Soul
  • Yes, the bolt size for the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, Item # 24839, for a 2013 Kia Soul and the bolt size for the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, Item # 24915, for a 2015 Kia Soul are the same.

I have attached instructions and videos for each hitch to assist you.

  • Can a 2013 Kia Soul Carry an Electric Wheelchair on a Cargo Carrier
  • I can't say for sure. It depends on the weight of the carrier and the wheelchair. All of the trailer hitch receivers we carry for your 2013 Kia Soul, like the Draw-Tite # 24839, have a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. Which means the carrier and the wheelchair combined cannot be heavier than 200 pounds with this hitch. It's likely the wheelchair is quite heavy and will exceed that itself. Additionally, the Soul may have a lower capacity than the hitch so you may be limited even more....

  • Can the 2014 Kia Soul + Tow a 1,200 Pound Trailer
  • I checked the vehicle owner's manual and all it says is that it is not recommended to tow a trailer with the 2014 Kia Soul (any model). But it also does not say you can't and there are numerous references to towing throughout the manual. So my interpretation is that you could tow a trailer but how heavy is unclear. I would say that at 1,200 pounds that is probably the max you would want to tow. Also, at 75 pounds that tongue weight is too light and that will make the trailer susceptible...
