I checked the owner's manual for any information about flat towing a 2020 Kia Soul and it did not mention flat towing, dinghy towing or recreational towing, nor did it mention anything about the necessary procedure so what I recommend is contacting your Kia dealer to ascertain what steps are needed for you to flat tow.
What I can offer is every part you need in order to flat tow your '20 Soul, which are the following:
- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521643-5
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700
You may also need a high-low adapter in order to keep your Kia Soul level, and I've added a link to a help article which shows you how to determine if you need an adapter as well as a link to our selection of adapters.
Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals and video reviews to check out.
