Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2010 Kia Soul  

Question:

Hi, I just got a Yakima bike rack with a 1 1/4 hitch. The trailer hitch I am looking at #24839 says it only accepts class 1 accessories and has a tab. Will the tab prevent me from installing the bike rack? If so do you recommend another hitch that does not have this tab? thanks!

Expert Reply:

All of the trailer hitches for a 2010 Kia Soul will be Class I trailer hitches so you will need a Class I bike rack. Also, a Class I hitch is only capable of supporting up to 2 bikes, but no more. Since you will just be carrying a bike, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24839, would be a good choice since it is just the hitch and does not include a ball mount, pin, or clip. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

For a compatible bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead, # S63360. This is an economically priced 2 bike rack. It features anti-sway cradles and can tilt down to allow greater access to the rear of the vehicle. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.
