Parts Needed to Tow Motorcycle Trailer with 2016 Kia Soul
Question:
I have a 2016 Kia soul with a 2000lb towing capacity. What would I need to tow a maxed 900 lb motorcycle and a light trailer.

Expert Reply:
We have everything you'd need to tow the motorcycle trailer you mentioned with your 2016 Kia Soul. The first thing you need is a trailer hitch like the Draw Tite part # 24915 that you referenced. This installs easily and has more than enough weight capacity.
For wiring the Tekonsha part # 118367 is easy to install and very reliable as well. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. For a ball mount you'd then want the # 3593, for a 2 inch hitch ball # 19258, 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256.
