Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2017 Kia Soul! (Exclaim)
Question:
My new Kia Soul ! has right sided double tail pipe, as opposed to the centrally located single tail pipe of the other Kia Souls. Will this impact the installation of the C11419? Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
I checked with Curt and trailer hitch # C11419 is a fit for all models of the 2017 Kia Soul so that would included your Soul! with the dual exhaust tips on the passenger's side. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks and cargo carriers for you.
