Question:

Please advise me the trunk mount racks that would be best match for my 2016 Kia Soul. I am a senior gal, would need to put on and take off by myself, and seeking advice to make appropriate ion and whether I can do this alone. Thank you.

The best option for a trunk bike rack for your 2016 Kia Soul is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. This is a lightweight bike rack that instead of using 6 nylon straps uses 2 rubber-coated straps which are much more secure and easier to deal with. This rack will be the easiest to install option we have and would work well.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
