We do offer a few different hitch receivers for your 2015 Kia Soul. I have included a link to these for you. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 24915. This hitch installs with no drilling or welding required and offers a 200 lb tongue weight and 2000 lb towing capacity.

As for the size of RV/trailer that you will be able to pull, due to the fact that Kia does not recommend using this vehicle for trailer towing, they do not provide a towing or tongue weight capacity for your vehicle.

The best advice that I could give would be to not exceed the tongue weight capacity of the hitch or the total load capacity (827 lbs) of your vehicle. The total load capacity is the combined weight of occupants plus all cargo and luggage.

To complete the set-up you will also need Ball Mount, # 3593, and Hitch Ball, # 19256.

For trailer wiring, take a look at the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # 118637.

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
