Will the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Fit a 2011 Kia Soul with 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch

Question

Question:

Hello: Im looking to replace a hitch a bought from you folks way back a ROLA tx-102 or similar - this particular rack rattles around a lot when driving using the hitch system I also purchased from e-trailer at the same time as the rack. Im looking at the platform type of rack and like the Kuat Sherpa due to weight, online reviews, and the shim type system for preventing rattling/swaying while driving. Do you know if this particular rack is suitable for a 2011 Kia Soul?
