Expert Reply:
According to Roadmaster, the # 522112-1 base plate kit is compatible with the 2013 Kia Soul, manual transmission equipped models only. (Auto transmission models are not flat towable.)
I am not sure what you mean by the forks . . . are you referring to the removable draw bars that the tow bar quick disconnects would attach to? (Refer to part # 15 and 16 shown on the first page of the instructions I have linked to.) The diagram also shows everything included with the base plate kit, including these draw bars, or arms as Roadmaster refers to them.
In addition to the Base Plate Kit, you will also need a Tow Bar like the Falcon 2 # RM-520, some safety cables like # RM-645, a wiring or lighting kit and a supplemental braking system.
I will link you to some FAQ articles that will show the various choices of lighting and supplemental braking solutions available.
